Battlefield: Hardline may have captured the attention of many at this year’s E3, but some fans may be wondering about the current state of Battlefiled: Bad Company 3 . While the game was a commercial success with approximately 6 million units sold, studio head Karl-Magnus Troedsson explained that DICE is unsure of what to do next with the series.
According to Gamespot, DICE isn’t sure what made the first two games critically successful, which they want to consider when moving forward. “We take all this into account when we think about the future, and do franchise strategy,” said Troedsson. “But there’s one thing that lingers with Bad Company that we’ve been asking ourselves: ‘What is it that the people really liked about Bad Company?'”
While the games have been critically successful, DICE seems to have trouble finding positive traits about the series that overlap in the reviews. Mainly, the company isn’t sure whether to focus on single-player or multiplayer. “Bringing back the characters and creating a great single-player out of that, sure, I can understand that,” said Troedsson. “But some people say this: the Bad Company 2 multiplayer is the best you’ve ever done. Okay, why is that? It’s hard for people to articulate what that is, which is actually hard for us.”
Despite Troedsson’s uncertainty, he seems to suggest that there will undoubtedly be a Battlefield: Bad Company 3 . DICE may need to revisit the games and conduct some market research before making key decisions, however.
