You have kinda lot of suggestions right? :) Sure it would be fun, but what influence would it have on the gameplay (except from taking away hiding places). It would just be some eye candy wouldn't it???

Actually, it could be a whole new tactic. You could dig holes/bases/tunnels, get a new edge on attacks and such. The land would have to "refill" after a while, or you cuold completely destroy the place.

Lol, yeah. We'd just fall, respawn, fall, respawn. Destructable terrain would be cool, like when you fire an m79, a small crater is left. Or, maybe, you could sever the bridge cables. Then again, the fancier Soldat gets, the more memory is required to run it, and one thing I like about Soldat is it's simplicity in itself.

not a good idea. buy yourself WORMS.

Too true. Soldat is great because of it's simplicity along with the carnage. I'd rather have this idea for eye candy instead of strategy. It might ruin the game if it was.

Worms was great though. :)

Lol, now we see from eye-to-eye. :D

It could be an option, maybe you could choose "Destructible Terrain" as a check box or maybe it could be an option in the map maker under the special terrain styles?

maybe it's too difficult to program?

Yep Inquisitor is right... I guess too that it's kinda hard to program :)
sudden_death: if everything ppl want to be an option you would have three pages full of checkboxes...

lol :) doppelpost

Lol, not even the big games [UT, BF1942, MoH] have destrutable terrain. :/

look at Red Faction... Didn't add much to gameplay either...

I think that instead of destroyable terrain the terrain should be more interactive. so it burns or smokes for a bit where grenades and flamers have scorched it. that would make the landscape after an intense battle quite kewl, with smoking soildeverywhere for a bit.

smoke after explosions will be implemented in 1.2. The rest sounds cool :) Like just a 'burnt' scenery after explosions right?

Maybe explosions would cause only very small hole to the ground? So you could use that as cover for example. (bullets wouldnt eat the ground)

If the holes were small, they wouldn't provide much cover. Plus, holes would mess up sprinting, every time you got goin', you'd fall into a hole, and mess up your rhythm. Not cool.

Alrighty, 2 things here:

a) Destructible TERRAIN

b) Destructible SCENERY

Both are completely different and non-related.

Destructible terrain won't work with the way Michal has programmed Soldat, so it's not gonna happen.

On the other hand, destructible scenery is possible to put in, and might be a bit of extra fun?
eg. Remember Total Annihilation, lol...
In that you could even set one tree on fire, and if the wind was right, it would set other trees near it on fire, that was FUN :)



Destructible SCENERY = yes.

I love the idea w00t

Yeah, Destructible terrain would be hard to program (not impossible thought), and it would also Suck with a big s.

Destructible scenery is a good idea, thought at the end of the match all the scenery would have burnt down :)

Exploding barrels are part of almost all shooting games. I want them in soldat too!

Having fire leave burn marks and blood leave...smears wouldn't detract from the gameplay, and it would make Soldat look cooler. And imagine tracking a wounded flag carrier by his blood trail. There'd be a new incentive to pick up a medkit.

yay that's cool. I want marks on the ground from blood and explosions. That's cool! Like a hunting mode with hunting maps? :D

i think there should be destructable bunkers and stuff that are the only things that can be destroyed. No idea why....

True True

Ever heard of a game called Liero?

I dont like the idea. Think about maps like ctf Death. It would make many things inpossible, and its hard to carry out in a game like Soldat.

CTF_death HAS scenery?Thats new.Though, i like the idea... burning forest in lagrange.. no more sniping lame ass baretters :D YAAAY XD

Hmm... Wouldn't it be fun if scenery could catch fire by using /smoke and burn people hiding? like it could spread and.... watch out barretards =)

why can't we just napalm them...?

heheheheh...


the problem with exploding oil drums is their cheesiness...

I think on the whole destructable scenery is not a bad idea...

although it would be hard to resist setting fire and blowing up every bit of scenery on the map...

Destructable scenery + Lagrange + BBQ Mode = PARTY!!!

That would rule... A LOT.
Haha, no more camping behind oil drums, huh? BOOM!
Destructable scenery, scorched and bloody soil = Good ideas.
Thumbs up.

it would be easy to have craters... everytime a grenade or m79 shot hits the ground, a "crater" from the scenery thing pops up automatically. there would be different kinds and shapes, randomly chosen for variety and depending on the weapon. i just thought it woul be cool... and easy to do. smoke would accompany... that would be awesome...

i wouldnt like it. it would be like worms then and u could blow the ground off from the flag so it would fall away from the map
