Battlefield: Unhealthy Firm 2 stays one of the beloved of DICE’s multiplayer shooters, thrilling gamers with its destructible warzones and cementing the Swedish studio’s status for unimaginable audio design. Regardless of the sport’s status, DICE by no means greenlit a 3rd entry within the spinoff collection. However that did not cease BC2’s director David Goldfarb from planning for one all the identical.
Goldfarb not too long ago revealed a few of these plans on X (by way of GamesRadar) having rediscovered “the primary three pages” of considered one of his Unhealthy Firm 3 scripts. “I forgot I had the shop Haggard was working in known as the ‘Adiosvidaniya’ and now I’m freaked out by how a lot would possibly even have been correct,” he writes, referring to how the script displays Russia’s obvious encroaching affect on US politics.
Haggard is the demolitions skilled from Unhealthy Firm 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 during which 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. As an alternative, these primarily emerge from person replies and Goldfarb’s responses to them. For instance, Unhealthy Firm 2 ends on a cliffhanger because the Russians invade Alaska, a degree which is raised by one respondent to Goldfarb’s submit. “Quick model is, Russia received and partially took over Alaska,” Goldfarb replies.
One other person, going by the title Volt, proposes his personal idea about how the remainder of the story goes “So, they obtained kicked out of the navy clearly,” they write. “I am guess[ing] there is a ‘gang will get again collectively’ for a particular (not possible) mission”. To which Goldfarb merely replies, “yup.”
It is price noting that that is merely Goldfarb’s imaginative and prescient for the way Unhealthy Firm 3’s story would have gone down, much like Marc Laidlaw’s thinly veiled story abstract for Half-Life 2: Episode 3. Requested whether or not DICE truly entertained the idea of Unhealthy Firm 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 Unhealthy Firm 3 could 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 not too long ago, however that is not a lot to maintain ourselves on. However even when a Unhealthy Firm 3 did someway 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 Steel: Hellsinger.
