Less destructible environments in battlefield 3? Dice explains

4.5
Destruction has become a huge part of the Battlefield franchise. It was first introduced in Battlefield: Bad Company and has since then, become a staple part of the franchise. In an interview with IGN, Karl-Magnus Troedsson, General Manager at DICE, revealed that destruction was not originally intended to be a main part of the series. “When we threw in destruction, with having more dynamic environments in there, it actually worked out pretty well by itself.” He continued, “the destruction didn’t really rupture the whole Battlefield system. It actually was just a nice-add on…”

Many fans would agree that it was a very welcome addition in Battlefield: Bad Company 1, which was later improved in Bad Company 2. However, it has introduced other un-anticipated problems along with it as well. For instance, ”there were some maps that actually, after a while, if you played very long in the same area, you’d just grind down everything to the bottom, which made it really hard sometimes for, like, the defenders in a rush map,” said Troedsson himself. ”When we see these things, [we think] okay, we have to add some covers that actually are not destructible.”

In recent trailers and interviews, it’s been revealed that there won’t be as many completely destructible buildings like there were in Bad Company 2, however, destruction will still play a large role. Though you won’t be able to drop buildings on enemy’s heads in BF3, you will still be able to kill them with falling debris from destroyed walls or structures. Alan Kertz, senior gameplay designer at DICE, shed some more light on this subject when asked whether the player who caused the debris gets credit for the kill or not. He simply replied, “credit is given where credit is due.”

If you played the multiplayer in the 2010 reboot of Medal of Honor, you will notice that DICE did not include any destruction at all. So far, we’ve seen a few things from MoH carry over into Battlefield 3 and now, perhaps, we will see less destructible environments as well.

Haha you suck so much at first person PvP combat you need people to spawn directly in front of you to get a kill!

atomiczx2 Why would anyone buy this game in the 1st place? BF1 BF2 were so boring and useless.


You're useless, and by the way, there never was a BF1 and I doubt that you've ever even played BF2.

And oh CoD is also boring and useless.


Yeh, CoD isnt boring and useless, COD is fun and so is battlefield. I like them both, i will be getting them both. In my opinion, cod will be more fun in the long run until you hit 10th then its boring, and BF3 will be fun all the time but not to play for a long time in one period(day).

you get what im saying? :P


Exactly dude like i dont understand why people bash both mw3 and bf3
They are both going to be amazing games but they arnt comparable. Like battlefield is going to be the more slow pasted game, team based game and mw3 is going to be the more fast pasted game, kill based, and it will most likely keep the people playing longer.


How will people be playing MW3 longer than BF3? The next Call of Duty will be out next year and everyone will switch over to that.

TTG-MW3 I cant beat BF2 campaign because I get to board lol and I beat LA Noire i really do give BF a try it just is to boring and made for camping plus jets are just going to be over powerd and rap* every thing


... You probably havent even played BF2. Did you mean bfbc2?
BF doesn't really target one thing. You can play all styles. If your camping, prepare to lose your cover. If your rushing be prepared to get killed. If you go in as a team be prepared to work as a team. Camping = Solo, Rushing = Solo. BF = Teamplay. Ofcourse you can camp and rush but you won`t be as suscessful.

And no jets won`t be overpowered. Jets will be used mostly for head on head jet battles. Vehicles are what makes the game. When you have enough of them together they aren`t overpowered.
