Electronic Arts’s first-person shooter Battlefield: Bad Company sequel is not in active development, according to DICE.
Official Battlefield Twitter responded to a fan explaining the situation:
@slayvapor We love the Bad Company series, but don't have it in active development. Battlefield 4 is our main focus for the year.

Summary:
“Bad Company is unique in the series in that it was developed for consoles and features a full single player campaign with characters, as opposed to previous titles which were mostly released for PC and featured warfare focused on multiplayer with large numbers of players.
The game also emphasises squad-based combat, while retaining the vehicular and large scale warfare of the series in multiplayer. The game applies some new features to the franchise, including a highly destructible environment such as blowing walls through houses.
DICE debuted its studio developed Frostbite engine with the game which allows for the high destructibility, and the engine has since been updated to run later titles.”
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 released worldwide in March 2010 for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. It met with a positive reception from game critics, 88% from Metacritic for all three ports, selling nine million units since its initial release.
Nonetheless, Last year DICE executive producer Patrick Bach said Bad Company series was “very dear” to him but that he had “no information with where we are to a sequel”.
