Battlefield: Bad Company 2 stays one of the crucial beloved of DICE’s multiplayer shooters, thrilling gamers with its destructible warzones and cementing the Swedish studio’s status for unbelievable audio design. Despite the sport’s status, DICE by no means greenlit a 3rd entry within the spinoff collection. But that did not cease BC2’s director David Goldfarb from planning for one all the identical.
Goldfarb just lately revealed a few of these plans on X (through GamesRadar) having rediscovered “the primary three pages” of one in all his Bad Company 3 scripts. “I forgot I had the shop Haggard was working in referred to as the ‘Adiosvidaniya’ and now I’m freaked out by how a lot may even have been correct,” he writes, referring to how the script displays Russia’s obvious encroaching affect on US politics.
Haggard is the demolitions knowledgeable from Bad Company 2’s single-player marketing campaign, and the comedian reduction of your squad. Goldfarb subsequently posted a “snippet” from his BC3 script, depicting a scene wherein Haggard convinces a juvenile shoplifter at hand again the products he stole from the comfort retailer Haggard works in, whereas his parakeet ‘Miss July’ chimes in with mimicked phrases.

The extract itself reveals little about Goldfarb’s broader plans. Instead, these primarily emerge from consumer replies and Goldfarb’s responses to them. For instance, Bad Company 2 ends on a cliffhanger because the Russians invade Alaska, some extent which is raised by one respondent to Goldfarb’s put up. “Short model is, Russia received and partially took over Alaska,” Goldfarb replies.
Another consumer, going by the identify Volt, proposes his personal concept about how the remainder of the story goes “So, they received kicked out of the navy clearly,” they write. “I’m guess[ing] there is a ‘gang will get again collectively’ for a particular (inconceivable) mission”. To which Goldfarb merely replies, “yup.”
It’s price noting that that is merely Goldfarb’s imaginative and prescient for the way Bad Company 3’s story would have gone down, much like Marc Laidlaw’s thinly veiled story abstract for Half-Life 2: Episode 3. Asked whether or not DICE really entertained the idea of Bad Company 3 as a venture, Goldfarb replies, “the studio did not, I used to be writing it anyway for myself.”
Nonetheless, it is intriguing to listen to how Bad Company 3 might have labored out, not least as a result of it has been fairly a while since we had any Battlefield in any respect. We did get to see an entire 10 seconds of Battlefield 6 just lately, however that is not a lot to maintain ourselves on. But even when a Bad Company 3 did in some way occur, it is unlikely Goldfarb could be concerned. He at present heads up his personal studio The Outsiders, whose most up-to-date venture was the totally pleasurable rhythm FPS Metal: Hellsinger.
