Forget about those pipe dreams of 2142 or 2143 as a setting for Battlefield 4. DICE's General Manager, Karl Magnus Troedsson, today revealed that the game will stick to its modern day setting.

"We still want to stay in this genre, the modern day as it is. We feel this is a place we can be and continue with the series. Battlefield 4 can live in this space and be very successful."

Additionally, what exactly was the reason for heading into Battlefield 4 instead of, say, bringing out Battlefield: Bad Company 3 first instead?

"There's a lot of things inspiring us as to how the franchise will move on. Everything from fans' feedback, to market research and, of course, what we want to build ourselves. It's not just one single thing," said Troedsson, continuing with a hint of sarcasm. "And, yes, I know Battlefield 4 is probably the most creative name we ever could come up with. I can't comment any more on that game because it's all secret."

"That doesn't mean there might not be a Bad Company game again in the future."
