You know how the Halo 2 environments are supposed to be fully interactive? ie. blowing up the cars, flipping over stuff to shield yourself etc. Do you think that when a grenade is thrown and blows up on the ground/pavement/asphalt there will be a crater?

It is posible but that would mak it much more complicated people could break throgh walls or make a hole so deep they cant get out

yeah, that is true. But Bungie could set it so that a hole only goes x distance deep and/or wide. It would add to the realism of the game.

Again, another sound idea, but where do you draw the line between 'realism' and great gameplay? While there's nothing wrong with the idea itself, implementing it into the game could potentially do more harm than good. I trust that Bungie has had many similar thoughts and wishes, and scrapped even more. It seems to be a process of what fits best (as far as features and gameplay). They blessed us with Halo:CE, they obviously have some idea of what they're doing :)

From what Ive read of the E3 2004 action and on the Bungie site (bear in mind Im not saying Im 100% right so don't flame me too much). It seems like its been developed so that a lot of structures have a sort of outer casing which is destructible and an inner one that aint. I dunno if this goes for the whole structures or just key points though.

I can't see the idea of craters though would work well, no offence, because people are gonna be driving vehciles around and stuff and then suddenly find yourself in a 10ft hole. Sounds cool at first but think of a flat landscape ideal for vehicle combat and then have it all FUBARed up into a lunar one.

Sorry about the double post.
