That probably goes without saying, but it looks like DICE might be going back to the future for its next round of pew-pew-pew, and finally doing a sequel to 2006&#8217;s Battlefield 2142.<\/p>\n<p>The rumour comes via the recently-launched Battlefield 3 expansion, Back to Karkand, where sharp-eyed gamers spotted a wall on the map Wake Island tagged with the text &#8220;2143&#8221;. <em>The writing<\/em>, as they say,<em> is on the wall<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29727\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Battlefield-3-hint-2143.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29727\" class=\" wp-image-29727\" title=\"Battlefield 3 hint - 2143\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Battlefield-3-hint-2143.jpg\" alt=\"Battlefield 3 hint - 2143\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Battlefield-3-hint-2143.jpg 1002w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Battlefield-3-hint-2143-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Battlefield-3-hint-2143-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Battlefield-3-hint-2143-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Battlefield-3-hint-2143-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Battlefield-3-hint-2143-170x96.jpg 170w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Battlefield-3-hint-2143-297x167.jpg 297w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Battlefield-3-hint-2143-250x139.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-29727\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Battlefield 3 hint - 2143<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As BF3Blog points out, DICE has previously included small teasers for upcoming games in current titles. Back in June 2006, for example, a vehicle in the Battlefield 2: Armoured Fury map pack sported a licence plate reading &#8220;2142&#8221; &#8211; ahead of the game&#8217;s official reveal at E3 later that year. That looks like a pretty good precedent.<\/p>\n<p>Considering EA&#8217;s ongoing mission to go head-to-head with the Call of Duty brand, it seems quite likely that another Battlefield title would be due out next year. Could gigantic mechs with gatling lasers make the difference?<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/bf3blog.com\/2011\/12\/battlefield-2143\/\">BF3Blog<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back to the future<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":29726,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1672,49,709,813],"class_list":["post-29714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-battlefield-2143","tag-battlefield-3","tag-dice","tag-electronic-arts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29714"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29714\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29725,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29714\/revisions\/29725"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
