Video: Bad Company is fully destructible


Okay, this video may come from the December video archives, but we just came across it and it's worth mentioning. IGN posted an exclusive alpha build tech demo with Battlefield: Bad Company devs and we all agree that it's explosively destructive good times. Seriously guys, watch the video as it just may increase Bad Company's appeal ten fold. The video schows off the game's interactive environments which include everything from walls being destroyed, buildings falling apart, trees falling into buildings which in turn fall apart, doors being shot off of vehicles and an explosion so big ... it'll make your eyes water. Go, watch, enjoy and tell us what you think.

I'm worry about the frame rate, i would say. As a reference, the mission when you have to save cpt. macmillan. Play it with "recruit" difficult and "A bad year" cheat enabled (for those who dont know this cheat, it makes your enemies explode into olds tires after you killed them.) Anyway, run around and kill everyone, you will see a bunch of old tires (lots of tire) and the game starts to lag a little.

View those old tires as "destructible human", it already effects the fame rate. That is just a small scale, imagine it on a larger scale with a battle is going on.

I don't know, may be by the time it is released. Hope the developers will master the coding or we will see "550p"? Time will tell.
