Once developer DICE gets its current project, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 out the door, the studio will turn to Battlefield 3. Many have been wondering what setting Battlefield 3 will take place in. The answer to that question is something the developers don't even know yet. Producer Gordon Van Dyke says the team will be turning to its vast back catalog of Battlefield games. To date, DICE has released 15 Battlefield titles (expansions included), encompassing WWII, Vietnam, modern combat and future combat.
"I'd love to do any of them," said Van Dyke. "We have such a wealth of back catalog stuff we could pull from and do something similar to that, that it's almost mind-boggling. Right now, anybody's guess is as good as mine on what we could do. But definitely know that the back catalog is a great resource for us, and we definitely would look there first."
