Senior Vice and Media Director at DICE, Randy Evans, has announced that the reveal trailer for Battlefield 2018 is underway.
PowerUp! - "A DICE developer claims that Battlefield 2018 is Battlefield Bad Company 3. Could it be true? It certainly seems possible."
I f#####g hope so wanted bfbc3 for so long now. BF1 was great but could do with a bad company now.
not after the 3 month long launch issues where I couldn't ever play. f that. I'm one of the pushers to end duty and go bf but after bf3 4 fiascos. never day one
they must bring back the Bad Company quirks and not just make it Battlefield 5 with a different name.
Oh oh and loot boxes! Don't forget the loot boxes! *Burst out of a lootbox in an explosion of confetti!*
I’ve been waiting forever for BC3.
And it’s CRAZY that I’m a year that CoD abandons single player, DICE chooses to go back to its best sp material. The first two were amazing semi-open world, vehicle laden journeys, filled with the funniest mf’s imaginable.
I can’t wait. Finally, a great single player.
Battlefield Bad Company is the reason that I started to play Battlefield games overall. I used to play BC2 more than any other COD. And I played for 3 years straight. After Battlefield 3, I lost my love for Battlefield. Hopefully BC3 is true because I will truly pre order the game.
forget that ... i love BF im max level in every single one (not lying, sadly lol ) but i will never buy a game day one, or even month one nowadays... ESPECIALLY a BF game ... BF normally takes 3-4 months before its actually playable above aggravation and pure brokenness ... but after that first 3 months Bf does become the best shooter on the market that year IMO ... but buying day one just seems silly to me, you are paying the most a game will ever be for teh worst it will ever be O.o food for thought
Well it wouldn't have shrubbery to hide in plus sniper scopes will have those 10,000 lumen "scopes" giving away your position so it will definitely be ruined for me. I miss BC2...
So a gun that requires precision and accuracy is not earning a kill while spray and pray is earning it? Sounds to me like someone is jealous.
Really and truly though they should give snipers away after making a shot, not before. That and have whatever effect disappear with distance that way you have a reason to keep moving.
Well, If its modern I will be happy! Kind of burned out after BF1 and COD WW2, plus looking forward to how DICE does Battle Royale since they are PUBG's biggest threat imo
If Dice is left to their own devices to work on a BR mode without getting "influenced" by EA's suits it will be the best BR game out there by far. But we all know it wont go that smoothly for them. We'll just have to see in a few months.
As for BF games...yeah its my FPS fix, day one(provided MTs/loot boxes are cosmetic).
I don't think its necessarily that people dislike BR. But keep that shut out of Battlefield.
Leave Battlefield alone.
What? Dude I have over 300 hours each in BC2, BF3 and BF4! I was Lvl 50 in BC2, 100 Col in BF3 and 140col in BF4. Battlefield is my favorite shooter of all time, but after getting hooked on PUBG, BR is a new exciting game mode and Battlefield could easily do better than Blue Hole first try. Whats wrong with adding a new game mode?
I'm with yah @GUTZ. What's wrong with Battlefield doing BR? Honestly out of all the big popular shooters, I think Battlefield is the only one that BR mode actually would fit in well. No harm if they have additional game modes. You can always choose not to play it if you would rather play PUBG or Fortnite. Never bad having more options imo.
please have that single player story like original BC where it was genuinely funny to play through
you don't joke or disrespect the "Knack" it's a sacred game and the name "Knack" should not be heard or typed of peasants like you. I hate whoever jokes about "Knack"
It's the most graphically advanced video game ever made,
Knack 3 BABY!
I meant no disrespect, I didnt know I was in the presence of the KnackSage
Forgive me sage and purify me with your knowladge in the name of our lord Mark Cerny
modern or BC3 please!
But since it's EA I have to pass on a new purchase and buy it used on disc to go with the rest of my used EA games I've bought over the last year.
Not just in name right? I hope it’s an actual bad company title with fully destructive environments and humor.
Your rumors really smell like poo-poo-poo, yeeeah, your rumors really smell like poo-poo-poo
Well that means it’ll need a single player campaign which EA seems to be against, so...
Shooters where better when they where made for adults, now that they're made for teens they just feel lackluster, if I shoot someone in the face with a 50 cal bullet I don't want the same result as if I shot them with a paint gun. Maybe this years Battlefield will be what I want it to be but currently I feel like shooters aren't the same anymore with the lack of maturity.
Still going to buy it no matter the case but some more maturity would be nice.
Well yeah I'm talking more about realistic damage not blowing enemies heads of with a 9mm.
and just a few short months ago DF said different: https://www.eurogamer.net/a...
Until I see a actually trailer, won't believe it. Than there's going back to the game play of it, which I don't think Dice will do.
this better not be a fluff piece cause I will drive the truckasaurus Rekt right through your office
First it was bfbc3. Then, no that’s wrong, it’s bf5 in WW2. Now, no that way wrong, it’s bfbc3. Lol
Few more weeks and we’ll know. I even signed up for the EA play event, so I can play the new BF game soon!
Regardless of what it is, BF is always a day 1 buy for me. Has been for shit, 11/12 years now.
People think that just because BC 1 and 2 were good 3 is automatically going to be great.
It's 2018 people, don't get your hopes up it's a different EA.
This .
I would pretty much give my 3rd nut for a Bad Company 3 that is true to the series. But I have serious doubts at this point....
EA Dice even said in an interview that they scared of making another Battlefield Bad Company game and end up a bad game.
It would be a dream come true only problem is in terms of the MP they would have to go back to a more of a no frills, squad based, smooth and responsive, gun on gun gameplay that made BC2 so great and if BF1 is what they're gonna base it off of then it will be just as clunky.
Bfbc set in Vietnam is my dream battlefield game. Add a battle royal mode and jungle zombies I would have no life
Mmmm let see first, if its true great but the elephant in the room ARE THERE GOING TO BE LOOTBOXES AND MICROTRANSACTIONS?
NOT going to get my hopes up. I dropped COD so quick because Bad Company 2 MP was absolute boss in every way. It was some of the best MP I have ever played on consoles and I've been waiting for something like that again.
They might as well just remake the first two Bad Company game with the current Frostbite engine instead. Knowing that there a chance that BC3 may end becoming a bad game due to the fact that EA have a chance of forcing Dice to add horrible features.
If it is we may see our first mainstream shooter in the last half a decade that isn't total garbage.
...MAY......
...But doubtful.
I loved Bad Company 2 and personally think it's my favorite of the Battlefield series. It had the best multiplayer maps and the Vietnam map pack was outstanding. Though I am curious for what other people think, what made it stand out from other battlefield games? I ask myself this and I still can't seem to find an answer.
yea but are dice or Ea even capable of making a good single player game anymore??? im not so sure tbh O.o
I so want this, but I'm also afraid that they will screw it up. BC2 does so much right. I would love a BC2 remaster with online play.
It's been so many years... I'm still waiting to see if Haggard got to save them cheerleaders
EA talks briefly about the new Battlefield game, which has now been confirmed for release later this year.
I vote for Vietnam era because I did love Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam DLC
Awesome. I can't wait to play this on ultra settings on my pc. I've been waiting for a proper and more modern warfare battlefield game to play on my pc. I like battlefield 1 but it's mostly a sniperfest game majority of the time and I don't like a lot of the weapon selections. The game is good imo but it doesn't pull me in to play like bf4
WHAT??? BC2 had Vietnam DLC? Oh shit. My PC died about 2 months into that game and despite absolutely loving it, I couldn't bring myself to play it on console so stopped following it. I can't believe I missed that, BFV was my first real competitive shooter so I have so many fond memories of Vietnam era Battlefield.
Of that I have no doubt, EA. What I want to know is if you learned from past mistakes, namely doing away with the season passes so all players have access to all maps to avoiding user base fragmentation and long arse matchmaking loading screens.
Oh and the other thing...please dont ruin this IP with predatory MT and loot box tactics!
EA promised to not repeat the mistakes they made with battle front. They made TWO mistakes!
1 Micro transactions
2 Announcing the micro transactions, by giving reviewers FULL copies of the game.
EA have several times said Micro transactions are coming back. So guess which one
that leaves.
I wish they would just remaster BC2. They clearly don't know how to make good games anymore.
I want Vietnam also. There are so few games during that period.
If not then 2143 would be awesome. 2142 had a special place in my heart. Titan Assault was so fun.
The title is wrong, the actual title is "New Battlefield Has 'Astonishing Visuals, Gameplay and Microtransactions', says Satan.
I'm ok with any era honestly. They made an amazing game with BF1. I see the next one expanding on that in terms of visuals and correcting any of BF1's mistakes.
Maybe they will maybe they wont, I can't trust anyone under EA even DICE at this point. All I want is a season pass-free game with no progression bound MTs/loot boxes.
How hard is for a BF game like that^ to sell a crapton??
What about WW2 Pacific against the Japanese? Vietnam was a failure as we all know, so don't see the point.
It will be. It’s EA we talking here. I don’t care if these are cosmetic, it’s just excuse from major gaming publishers.
You need to get over it already... You cry so much about EA it honestly amazes me. Everyone has the choice to not buy if they don't like EA's practices, so why don't you just give it a rest already!
Very High and Ultra presets on PC will be microtransactions. The game will be locked to 720p 30fps and the option to increase the resolution and framerate will be loot crates
Honestly, for whatever reason, I've never once felt like spending real money on the loot boxes in BF1. They are all just weapon/vehicle skins and exp boosts that last for 30 minutes to an hour.
They seem pretty innocuous in BF1. I'm NOT saying they are good, just that the ones in BF1 aren't as bad as they are in other games.
That's the thing people overlook in their rage. You don't have to buy it. You have a choice. I have never bought loot or used micro transactions. I use grinding to get better and that is why I stump the inexperienced people that paid to level up. 😎
And how about the hard working ppl that have kids and just want to sit down relax and jump in to game? Everyone pays for games right? Price = money, money= pay, pay = work (whatever job it is), that being said i shouldnt pay a full 60$ for half the game locked behind yet another paywall source. Sometimes grinding takes far too long and ppl dont have time for it
@SAMFISHER, with the majority of games you have the option to jump into games, without having to spend an extra dime. I think GEARS OF WAR 4 got things right, they release new map packs, and then implement them into multiplayer for FREE. I’m hoping other studios will adopt the same practice.
@ sam fisher
I think in that instance you should pick and choose what games to buy to fit your time. I love mmorpgs but i dont play them anymore because my life just doesnt fit them.
Im not good at battlefield or CoD but i still have fun playing with friends. I pick up and play just fine and i never buy MTs. I accept im not going to be a pro gamer or top streamer or whatever.
I play for fun and relaxation. If i read that a game pushes you to buy MT as in BF2 i just dont buy it. Im not going to boycott a game just because it has MT in it.
Good lord just no no no more freaking microtransaction and lootboxes they need to go from gaming
Newsflash: "This just in. Company CEO says their product is amazing. More at 11....."
Does anyone expect them to say otherwise? Let's just see if the loot boxes are any good. /s
They do tend to release mediocre games lately, don't they. I have to say though... if games like Battlefront 2 and Anthem are anything to go by then we can at least expect some astonishing visuals for Battlefield. I really hope that Anthem is good.
COMPANY HEAD SAYS THEIR PRODUCT IS GREAT
IN OTHER NEWS WATER MAKES THINGS WET
As long as its not ww2 era. Everyone wanted cod to go back to ww2 but its been worse off
I want a ww2 BF game, only because they havent done it since 1942. I want to see what they can do with the tech they have today. And cod is only a shell of its former self. All their previous ww2 games were great, but i cant stand the new one.
I think you may be out of luck, I agree with you but for different reasons (BF 1 was already so modernised that WWII would feel redundant)
Casualfield infested with sociopath kids or the new playerbase EA has such a hard on for since Casualfield 1- cheers EA but no thanks !
Will pray and hold out for Bad Company 3, they couldn't possibly dumb down this Battlefield series!
Just remember DICE, the players who have bought all your bf games and supported you since 2002.
Headline should read “GAMES COMPANY SAYS NEW GAME IS THIER BEST EVER”. Other than the BF6 news (which is huge! But not the main point in this article) this is pretty much a non story.
Forza 7, halo, gears, cod, monster hunter....
They are in almost every game on console.
Seems like they are now in every Microsoft first party title. I remember when they ruined Gears 3 with all those pointless weapon skins, and that was almost 7 years ago. Even though the skins weren't put in lootboxes, I remember getting pissed off at Gears 3 and I stopped playing it altogether after about a month.
Gears 1 and 2 were good because you could just focus on killing people and having fun. Too bad MS ditched gaming for money. MS is always paving the way forward for some type of anti-consumer policy and then everyone else seems to follow. Sony doesn't really have lootboxes in their titles, at least not that I can think of right now. Haven't played Horizon or GT Sport, so I can't be 100% sure.
EA talking about anything game related - horrifies me. When they say something looks great, I just imagine them referencing how the loot boxes fit into the entire spectrum of the game's overall DNA and how excited it makes their empty hearts.
Please be 2143 - I don't think it will be, but yeah...
I have a feeling it will be WW2.
Big thing, for me, was that the progression system while tons better than Battlefront, ultimately has made these games a process of putting up with sub-optimal loadouts, until you progress to a slightly less sub-optimal loadout. I never felt versitile or prepared for most encounters in BF1, no matter what I unlocked. I felt like I had such a narrow window of use as a solider. I know that's realistic and encourages teamplay, but, what actually happens is that everyone just constantly switches class and never really ends up being much of a squad. I remember older bf games feeling more open in this respect. Like Bad Company 2. You could build most classes to become pretty flexible and good in a number of situations. Snipers always feel OP and therefore being less good at close quarters make sense. But having assault, medic, support all feel compromised at variants of minute range differences is just weird. Maybe guns are just underpowered? But as a solider, I'd always want to feel like if I played strategically, or practised to 'get gud', I could get the upper hand on a number of players. Spawn, shoot one dude, die because your gun can't outperform another guy's gun at the distance he pops up at, die again, is just frustrating and feels engineered to make you switch up your loadout and grind xp to get a slightly different one.
I know skill is always a factor, but wouldn't it be nice if unlocks just added variety rather than changed how deadly you are in permanent degrees v other classes. That just feels contrived. Again, I feel that used to be the case in the older games. BF1 and the Battlefront games feel like a chance based gun v gun card game.
Hopefully a direct sequel to Battlefield 4, old setting not my type, but this is just me
I hope it’s something modern, I got bored of BF1 so quickly compared to the rest of them , regret buying premium for it , and buying it on both PS4 and PC lol
I highly enjoy BF4, and still play it to this day , I own premium for it on PC and PS4 , sucks hackers are back on the PC version tho.
Vietnam would be cool but I’d prefer something like BF5
Despite my long-time adoration of the Battlefield series (especially Bad Company) after that weak-as-a-chipmunk-fetus Battlefield 1 story-mode I'm hard-pressed to even pick this title up.
Plus, you know, the whole EA kind-of-sucks thing.
Hrm. Better not be WWII, I don't care how nice it looks, BF 1 was too close to WWII gameplay-wise (let's be real here, the WWI setting was mostly aesthetic).
Anything onward and I'm right onboard. Wouldn't Korea AND Vietnam be awesome!?
"Our products are the best and can't be beat!" - Every CEO Ever.
I'm sure we'll be getting for loot crates and some scheme to make up for the lost profits from Battlefront 2.
Just hoping it's more like BF4, where you can parachute from anywhere,lol
BF1 Felt forced at places and something was missing gameplay wise and was not as much fun.
Vietnam would be good, love the heli's in those games.
I don't want a WW2 game. It's too soon. WW1 game just came out about a year and a half and Call of Duty just released their WW2 game in November. They should make a different time period for 2018 and then come back to WW2 in 2019 or 2020 when there isn't saturation.
I wouldn't mind playing a modern Battlefield with 1's engine, graphics, controls, mechanics, and reduction in vehicles (BF1 did vehicles right, BF4 had waaaaayyyy too many vehicles and they were overpowered). I want a modern BF1 like game, but with the customization of 4. Also, stop putting weapon attachments in battlepacks. That ruined BF4. Battlepacks should be cosmetic items only.
Not sure i'll be ready for another battlefield. Is the BF1 premium pass on ea access ?
I don't see how this is news, it's not like he's going to come out and say "Seen the new Battlefield recently, looks a bit shit if i'm honest" so why does a clear marketing comment need to be turned into an article
Hopefully the next BF will have smooth crisp controls and not the stiff gunplay of BF1. We dont need 500 control options DICE, we shouldnt have to get a PHD to set them up to our liking.
Stiff? BC2 was stiff. Personally, I liked how much you could tailor your control scheme and sensitivity.
Except we have no reason to doubt him. Recent Battlefield games have always looked incredibly good and played very well. Battlefield 1 is still one of the best looking games that I've seen.
Lets go back a year,,,,
Star Wars Battlefront 2 came up during EA’s quarterly financials today, and CEO Andrew Wilson assured investors the second game will be bigger and better than its bestselling predecessor.
“Our next Star Wars Battlefront will be even bigger, taking players into more locations, and allowing them to play with more heroes and characters across multiple Star Wars eras,” he said.
“There will be new ways to play, including an all-new single-player campaign, and much, much more that we are excited to share with our players in the months ahead.”
Yeah...right.....the gameplay is horrible even without loot boxes.
Every BF game looks amazing, I dont think that is what everyone is worried about EA....
Looking forward to a new BF. BF1 I loved at first but after awhile the maps and everything just felt the same. No maps for me really stood out. Most seemed liked open fields.
The problem with the next Battlefield game, is that we have no idea what EA is going to do to mess with the classic Battlefield experience. I have a bad feeling that they are going to ruin the series, probably with micro-transactions and loot boxes.
"and its campaign is onlly 3 hours long!" forgot to mention that part, didnt they?
I hope it will not be WWII and will have better maps than BF1. I wouldn't mind less good graphics if it means more complex maps and destructible environment.
graphics are nice and all but honestly if it still takes the same amount of time inbetween games like bf1 does they can take those graphics and shove it up their ass... the loading times and waiting in bf1 is probably the worst part of the entire game
"New battlefield uses exact same engine and gameplay" said no publisher ever when it's 100% the case.
My bet would be April or May.
April just like COD
Buying used since it's EA, but if it's not bad company or modern combat I'll just skip it for the first time
Will be interesting to see how heavly implemented microtransactions will be in this one.
No thanks. Not after Battlefront 1.
