While Battlefield 1 just had its latest expansion, Turning Tides, released today, franchise fans (like me) are already looking forward to what Battlefield 2018 will be.

Well, if this recent video is anything to go by, it’ll be none other than Battlefield: Bad Company 3! This info is courtesy of AlmightyDaq, who also leaked a ton of Battlefield 1 info that turned out to be legit. Here’s some of the info we’ve compiled from the video.

Various locations in the campaign will be “mid and post-Vietnam conflict” and not include the Cold War, and will not be “historically accurate.” Game modes confirmed to be in it are: Conquest, Rush, Operations, Domination, Team Deathmatch. There will be a 5v5-centric game mode similar to Squad Obliteration.

Maps will allegedly focus on “tighter gameplay” rather than “all-out warfare” and will be similar to Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3 maps like Oasis Grand Bazaar, Harvest Day and so on.

Regarding gunplay, there will be Vietnam and Cold War era guns, and the gun customization will supposedly rival that of Battlefield 4, which means it’s going to be robust compared to the more simplistic approach of BF1. The character, gun and vehicle customization will also be improved (think: BF4 than BF1), which should be good news for lots of players who are into that.

When it comes to vehicles, players can expect modern tanks, LAVs, helicopters and the like to make a return, The kits (classes) in Bad Company 3 will be the Engineer, Support, Assault and Recon classes, which, if true, will be similar to BC2. Allegedly, the overall gameplay will be a “faster tempo” than BF1, and will have a higher skill gap.

Finally, microtransactions won’t be a thing (at least for now), and it won’t follow the same path as the highly controversial Star Wars Battlefront II! Let’s hope this is true, and that EA has learned a lesson or two from what happened to BFII.

AlmightyDaq mentions that we should expect a reveal at E3 2018, which is where EA typically announces their big games, and that a lot of YouTubers already know of BC3’s existence though aren’t talking about it for now.

You can watch the video below to hear it all firsthand, but remember: all of these things are rumors, until proven or debunked by EA and DICE. Even if Battlefield 2018 is indeed Bad Company 3, there’s a lot of things that can change which could make the info inaccurate. We’ve reached out to EA and will update the post if and when we get a statement about this.

If true, would you want Bad Company 3 or would you rather DICE release a direct sequel to Battlefield 1? As a longtime fan of BC2, I really hope this is true, and that DICE gives us a BC3 that’s faithful to BC2 which some consider one of the best titles in franchise history.



Sign me up if true. I love BC1 and BC2.

I juswt don't see it happening.

Bad Company was EA's answer to consoles not being good enough to deliver a full BF experience, but those days are gone.
 
Bad Company 2 was so much more fun than BF3 and honestly is up there with any BF game I've played.
 
I want Battlefield 3: Modern Combat. The follow up to Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. My favorite Battlefield game ever.

How do the Bad Company games differ from the mainline releases?

They had actual characters, humor, and a more movie-esque story feel (first game was about a squad who finds gold during an operation and goes AWOL to find more of it). BC2 has that same squad in more of a Black Ops role. I personally like the story and style more in the first one, though BC2 is better (If I recall). The second one got too serious, imo.

A big draw with those games was how you could destroy everything. Blow holes in walls, collapse entire buildings; there were no invincible walls. I remember loving how you could blow a hole in a Jersey barrier and use it as cover by still shoot through. In campaign as well as MP. Some maps would be just crater filled spaces by the end of the match, lol. It's also where they started the Rush game type (I think).

While I don't necessarily mind a vietnam setting, that would mean we'd be playing as a different squad, and I'd be sad to see Hags and Sarge go...

Just make them their dads. Then they could make heaps of jokes about "one day, when our kids are growing up together" or something.

Ive been to Vietnam, and it's pretty nice. It would make a great location for a game.

I loved in MP taking down a building on purpose to kill everyone inside. Those games were so much fun online.
