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.
