PowerUp! - "A DICE developer claims that Battlefield 2018 is Battlefield Bad Company 3. Could it be true? It certainly seems possible."
MP1st - Should the next Battlefield game be Bad Company 3? MP1st weighs in on whether this is a good or bad thing or if a Bad Company 2 remaster would be better.
I would say hell yeah, but im not confident in modern DICE's ability to recreate what made the bad company series good.
This is how I feel. I'd love a new one, but deep down I know itll be bad or not on par with the originals
Especially since they said in the past they have no idea why Bad Company was as successful and loved as it was.
Yes, it should be if they can creat a good story like they did in the first two and a good multiplayer and leave their SJW politics out of it.
I'd be happy if it was Battlefield 3. Kill all of that Live junk, and just go back to the basics.
After 1 year of b4, there was 32 maps... after a little after 1 year of BFV there are 20 maps. Live is nice because everyone can play all the content together but there is considerably a lot less of it. I think battlefield has lost it's way and IF it comes out with another hit game it will be an accident.
Senior Vice and Media Director at DICE, Randy Evans, has announced that the reveal trailer for Battlefield 2018 is underway.
You're one of the biggest EA haters here on n4g so why aren't you preaching boicot? Or is it just certain EA games that you don't like or want to play?
I'm sure there will be some kind of MT in Battlefield.
You guy's and all your MT bitching need to step it up and practice what you preach or the Evil Empire of EA will never fall.
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
I just wasted money buying UFC3 new. I wanted to support the game as I want the game to grow into something better. Selling it now on eBay. The micro transactions are so bad, plus it's so buggy and broken at times. I'll never buy EA new again. Although that's the only game I've bought new from them in years.
I don't really think that has as much to do with EA the publisher as much as the developer of those games is really really bad.
So that wouldn't really have much to do with the actual development teams that create Battlefield or Titanfall or anything like that.
Even as a huge mixed martial arts fan I completely avoid those games like the plague.
Will be interesting to see how heavly implemented microtransactions will be in this one.
Take the worst situation you can think of, and that should be pretty accurate.
There is nothing interesting about it, as this company has been rather transparent, blatant, and public in their "microtransaction" approach to their business model going forward.
Don't hold your breath for something decent. You wouldn't survive it.
I disagree, micro transactions in Battlefield 1 weren't bad at all and were almost entirely cosmetic.
I haven't played in months, but I do remember them being completely unobtrusive in BF 1, it was just barely-noticeable gun skins from battlepacks. And melee weapons, but again... They seemed a bit silly.
Exactly. It was a great game, and still is. I only stopped playing as my reaction skills arn't as good as you lot and was getting slaughteted inline lol. Really liked the campaign too.
Exactly
I'm still playing Battlefield 1 today , they did an absolutely amazing job on that game.
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.
It would be a day one buy.
Yeah i call bs, and even if it was they would screw it up imo.
I really hope so, if its WW2, no buy!
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please be true please be true please be true please be true please be true!
