Destructable Enviorments/Buildings

[Strawberry_Shortcake]

What do you guys think about real domino affect on the buildings , and trees can break, and you can blow a chunk out of a mountain.

sweet

Can't wait.

that would be awesome just like a game mercenaries 2 where you can destroy everything and ye iam new here


maybe you ( the developers) can modify the engine from red faction guerilla and put it in your game because the engine in red faction (rf:g from now ) is a great engine but the buildings can stand on 1 pilar with the rest gone and building go down to fast but if you (the developers ) can edit it so that it would be realistic. (by example) when you shoot with a tank into a building that there would be a hole in the building that would be awesome

Well, welcome to the forum then

Are these confirmed features, or just suggestions?

Breakable trees would be wonderful, and from that gameplay trailer the buildings already appear to break apart (I think it was a gas station that they destroyed for that video).

I think blowing chunks out of mountains might be too much for the Avalanche Engine at this stage. It must have enough trouble rendering the massive environment already, making it dynamic would be very complex. Even the incredible Frostbite engine (Battlefield 1943, Bad Company etc) can only put dents in the ground. (Which is still awesome!) It can't properly blow hills apart.

Though it would be pretty cool to spend a day blowing the Just Cause 2 map apart so that it is totally flattened when you are done!

I guess I saw a tree breaking in that 10 minutes video, when he takes the helicopter, but nothing about the rest

Battlefeild is so funny, you can shoot down a tree with a pistol! Maybe you can only shoot down trees with heavy caliber bullets, like chopper guns.

Is the dominoe affect with the buildings confirmed? Because it would be really cool if you could grapple up to a building plant C4 round the sides; and watch it tumble to the ground! Mwaaahahahaha

These are not confirmed features, and I meant blowing chunks in the ground, srry for confusion, and Hey Poor_Bison, seen you around Mercs 2 Fourms

Mercs2 is good but Hopefully it will be more like battlefield cos in mercs 2 they brought it out too early and didnt have enough time for them 2 iron out the faults and improve things, the building destruction in mercs2 is pretty shockin.... u destroy it, then theres a cloud of smoke and suddenly the building is flattened, its unrealistic just changing the building behind the smoke... okay, u can see the stucture falling but it just dissapears into the ground.

if u like destroying buildings and stuff, Red Faction is gud 4 that,
BUT getting back to the point, unlike mercenaries just cause will be perfect as there is still lots of time until the release date giving them time to make it amazing, and by the few previews and photos it alredy looks like they hav perfected the ultimate sandbox game!!!! it will be awsome!!!

I agree. mercs 2 was released before it was ready to be. and after I wasted 2 years of checking the pandimic forms daily, (for what i thought was going to be the best game of all time,) EA just had to push it out to early so it wouldn't interfear with the releace of one of there cheep movie games!!!!
so I'm hope'in destructability will take a major part in this game.

[Hobodealer]

DAMN EA! DAMN IT TO HELL!!!!!!!! Waaaaaaa

[Sadistic_Sandbox_Player]

ALL DAMN EA!!!!!

IDK, just wanted to see if anyone noticed, A+

Just so some of you understand what it takes for destruction, for a single particular vehical there would be about 12 different objects.

1. the undamaged car
2. the burnt out body
3, 4,5 and 6, the damaged doors
7. the damaged hood
8. the damaged trunk
9, 10,11 and 12 the damaged wheels

I'm probably even underestimating those numbers, but now apply the same thinking to one individual building, lots of seperate collapsing rubble objects, stone, metal and glass, we know it can be done, but the cities in this game would certainly take a lot of effort and time to setup.

but the avalanche 2.0 engine doesnt support major destruction
