“If you told me 14 years ago that destructible environments going forward in fps’ would be the exception and not the rule, I would tell you to get lost.Bad Company 2is a PS3/360 title and its destruction mechanics still stand out to this day,” said bhhhhhhhtyc. “Capturing an objective that was contested for a long time with absolutely no structures remaining other than holes in the ground and a tiny bit of foundations is one of those gaming experiences you’ll always remember.”

“I lovedBad Company 2. The game was so good, I recall being blown away at just how intense the battles were with incredibly good sound design,” explained Snotnarok. “That was on PC with the extra player limit which did make it hard to get things done with double the players trying to murder your face and holding objectives.”
