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.

Icy-TankJr I don't care about BF3 story mode and Mw3 story mode. But Mw3 MP will of course be better then BF3 Mp.


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

Lol I guess you need a sniper to snipe people from really really far because you dont have skills gtfo its is opinion


What are you five? It takes more skill to snipe someone in the head from 200 yards away compared to 15 feet in MW3. You suck.


LOL... in bf you just line it up, sniping in bf is cake, youre trash if you cant headshot at any distance even if they're moving or not. done.


? Sniping in BF actually takes skill, you would have to line up the shot, expect bullet drop and so on to get a kill. You know what that's called? Skill, not going around quickscoping or getting headshot's when shooting the players LEG!


yeah it takes "some" skill and a little bit of "not being a ****" to hit a shot in bf. plz. i play both, and im godlike at both. so stop kid.


GTFO, cocky troll, Have fun with your Mw2.5 quick-scopes come novermber.

Quick scoping in ANY game takes skill. the only ones complaining about it are the ones who can't. Quick scoping is just an option that people create to make the game more exciting and fun. if you dont want to do it then DONT. dont go complaing about people having more skill than you. Im Done
