Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Gameplay Physics and Destruction Video

YouTube user and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 player, zappload has made a really nice video showing off the physics and destruction in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. In this video zappload goes around shooting things and blowing them up to show the awesome physics and destruction that the games features. If you are not familiar with BFBC2, 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.

YouTube User freedomliberator has made a really nice video from the retail version of Battlefield bad Company 2 showing off the physics and destruction that the game has. In this video he keeps shooting grenades at buildings until they completely collapse showing off the awesome destruction in the game. If you are not familiar with BFBC2, 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.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Technical Background Q&A Talks about Physics

PC Games hardware as done a really nice and in-depth Q&A interview with the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PC version producer, Anders Gyllenberg. In the interview pretty much every technical aspect of the PC version of BFBC2 was talked about, from the use of DX11, ATI Eyefinity support, AA support, Multicore CPU support, and most interesting to us the physics used in the game. As we know BFBC2 uses the Havok Physics engine to produce some impressive physics and destructible environments in the game but PCGH asks why they chose a middleware physics solution such as Havok and asks what his opinion is on GPU-Accelerated physics. Read the rest of the interview here.

If you are interested in the impressive physics in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 be sure to check out The Physics and Destruction of Battlefield Bad Company 2 and also Entire Buildings Collapse in Battlefield Bad Company 2 With Destruction 2.0 for some impressive videos from the PC Beta of the game.

From the PCGH Battlefield: Bad Company 2 technical background Q&A:

PCGH: Frostbite Engine uses Havok physic engine. Why do you decide to work with a middleware solution? Does Frostbite support an advanced destruction system [yeah, we know it do so “Destruction 2.0”] like terra forming or other physic that influences gameplay? What is your personal opinion about GPU-accelerated PhysX or physics in general?

Anders Gyllenberg: Havok is a good base for us and we have built many layers of our own on top of it to support destruction and our large-scale multiplayer worlds. One interesting feature and quite unique feature is the destructible terrain – it actually affects gameplay and allows the player to take cover in the craters created. We are currently performing all our physics computations on the CPU cores in parallel. CPU/GPU hybrid solutions are an interesting future prospect.

Entire Buildings Collapse in Battlefield Bad Company 2 With Destruction 2.0

The Battlefiled Bad Company 2 PC Beta and Xbox 360 Demo have both been out for about a week now, lots of people have been having fun playing it and have been amazed at the physics and destruction the game features. Within the first few days of the release we posted about The Physics and Destruction of Battlefield Bad Company 2, showing off some of the physics and complete destruction in the game. As we said before “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”.

The destruction in Battlefield Bad Company 2 is some pretty amazing stuff, even if you don’t like the game itself it is definitely the right step torwards the future of games and really adds to the gameplay and replay value along with the possibilities of gameplay and different tactics that can be used. In case you have not been playing the beta or demo we have put together a collection of videos that have been posted to YouTube showing off some cool destruction 2.0 footage showing the buildings on the battlefield getting blown to pieces and then fully collapsing once the structural integrity degrades beyond a certain point. Check them out below and be sure to check out our previous post about The Physics and Destruction of Battlefield Bad Company 2.
