Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has carved out a special place in the hearts of gamers, thanks to its innovative destructible environments and the exceptional audio craftsmanship that DICE is renowned for. Despite its acclaim, the Swedish game developer never moved forward with a third installment in this beloved spinoff series. However, David Goldfarb, the director behind Bad Company 2, has been quietly nurturing his own vision for a potential sequel.
Unveiling the Vision
Recently, Goldfarb took to X to share a glimpse into his creative process, revealing that he had stumbled upon the initial pages of a script for Bad Company 3. In a moment of nostalgia, he recounted a quirky detail about a fictional store named “Adiosvidaniya,” which he noted eerily reflects the current geopolitical climate, particularly Russia’s growing influence in U.S. affairs.
While the script itself offers limited insights into the overarching narrative, user interactions on Goldfarb’s post have sparked intriguing discussions. One user pointed out that Bad Company 2 concludes with a cliffhanger involving a Russian invasion of Alaska. Goldfarb responded succinctly, stating, “Short version is, Russia won and partially took over Alaska.” This revelation hints at a dramatic continuation of the story that fans have long speculated about.
Another user, known as Volt, proposed an imaginative theory about the potential plot, suggesting a reunion of the original characters for a daring mission. Goldfarb’s simple affirmation of “yup” to this idea adds a layer of excitement to the possibilities that could have unfolded in Bad Company 3.
It’s important to note that Goldfarb’s musings represent his personal vision rather than any formal plans from DICE. When asked if the studio ever considered developing Bad Company 3, he clarified, “the studio didn’t, I was writing it anyway for myself.” This distinction underscores the creative freedom he pursued outside the confines of corporate decision-making.
As fans eagerly await the next chapter in the Battlefield franchise, the prospect of Bad Company 3 remains a tantalizing “what if.” With the recent glimpse of Battlefield 6 being just a fleeting ten seconds, the gaming community is left yearning for more substantial content. However, should Bad Company 3 ever materialize, it seems unlikely that Goldfarb would be at the helm, as he now leads his own studio, The Outsiders, which recently delighted players with the rhythm-based FPS, Metal: Hellsinger.
