The Physics and Destruction of Battlefield Bad Company 2

The PC Beta for Battlefield Bad Company 2 was released a few days ago. The game so far has had mixed reactions from people playing the beta however most of this is probably due to the lag problems that the beta players are experiencing along with the fact that the Port Valdez map was probably not the best map to use for the beta. Hopefully Dice will correct these issues before release as the game is a lot of fun and has some serious potential.

One thing is certain about Battlefield Bad Company 2. The game has some impressive and jaw dropping physics and destruction. The game uses the Frostbite Engine and pretty much everything on the battlefield can be destroyed, trees fall down, houses collapse, concrete walls get blown away creating paths not there before, craters are left in the ground, giant holes get blown in the side of the house, at the end of a match there is not much left to hide behind the the entire battlefield looks different like a giant battle did take place.

This is really impressive stuff and definitely the right direction for games, YouTube user and BFBC2 Player BrosNCons has made a pretty cool video showing off the destruction and Physics in the game. Check it out below and be sure to keep checking in here as we plan to post more info about BFBC2 and it’s awesome destructible terrain.

UPDATE: Another Cool video showing the Destruction in the game has also been uploaded to YouTube and we have posted it below as well.
