Departing from the comedic approach of the lastBattlefield: Bad Company trailer, the above video is a developer diary with a clear message: blowing stuff up is good ol' fashioned fun.
Tired of being inconvenienced by annoying buildings that always seem to get in the way at the worst possible time? Why should you have to go through the trouble of traveling around said barrier when a much better solution is at your disposal -- blowing the damn thing to smithereens!
This is BF: Bad Company's approach to pretty much everything and I can certainly dig it. I've yet to be dazzled by this generation's destructible environments outside of maybe Crysis (which I can't even fully enjoy for obvious reasons), so that's one void I'd definitely like filled, and the next Battlefield title may be just the game to do so.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Looks like an updated BF2 that u can blow stuff up in. If it wasn't for BF 2142 and the god awful 360 battlefield game, I would probably think about getting this game.
Check out Mercenaries for Xbox, definetly in my top 10, virtually everything in the game is destructible and you can call in around a dozen types of airstrikes.
I guess, if you want to put it all negative like that. But I would look at it more as an achievement. It's hard to make environments that can blow up like that. Generally you can tell that places were pre-set to be able to fall apart in games, but unless I am mistaken it looks like they took the trouble of making everything able to get blown to pieces.

15gs - Destroy 20 Buildings.
Cant wait for Mercenaries 2!
people getting the wrong idea and such
Also, I love how we're so lazy that we can't even go around buildings in our computer games now. Blow it up! Woo!
The game looks great and I can't wait. The ggame shoulda been called Battlefield: BOOM!
This title is still only (rumor'd) to be on consoles...is this still true?
