Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Squad Rush is Explosion-Tastic

[WolfLordAndy]

Looks good, but no article on the single player video they released last week?

Very odd the holding back content though.

I am currently in the beta for bad company 2 and I can confirm that environmental damage is ever so present in the game. Even better, it is sometimes crucial to destroy walls and what not to be able to win an objective. For example in a destroy a target map you can either plant the bomb and wait or take down the whole building(of course there is a good mix of destroyable points and non destroyable ones)

I wonder... can we grenade a building and have the roof crush the people below?

If so... then that is AWESOMESAUCE!

For all the hype about the destruction, it, in my time playing is pretty useless, and its a bit janky cause I don't think its procedural so you might hit a corner of a house and a hole will appear 4 ft to the side of it.

I am sad.

You are forgetting one thing.

Snipers, campers and people turtling inside of buildings are now screwed, like in real life. They can no longer survive a mini-nuke simply by ducking behind a tree or behind a barricade.

BARRICADE GETS DESTROYED WITH THEM!

As long as BC2 doesn't have instant melee kills like MW2, it shall win my approval.

hang on a sec... ea have it the wrong way round, they have slightly screwed over the console version and (so far) not buggered up the pc version im happy, bought bloody time the pc community got some tlc

Well, I'm glad that I'll have it from the start.

Another dubious marketing technique!

Fuuuuurb you're on PC or what?

If you get it on PC we need to put a crack squad of kick-ass mofos together for squadrush.

All battlefield games so far have, but you dont move at the speed of greased lightning so it's not as bad. Mostly only happens to campers.

Perhaps, when my PC gets its new Hard Drive.

Wahey, team Ireland is a go.
