When a wall/floor/whatever (floors aren't destructable, are they?) is destroyed, does the rubble from it remain on the battlefield or does it sorta dissapear?

If it does stick around, the bigger chunks of rubble would provide extra cover from gunfire, thus changing the strategies available in a particular map slightly on each go-around! Very sweet.

It would change the course of an assual or a protection if a wall fell in front of you giving you cover(or losing it). CTF will rock with that in mind.

There is a line between fake and real. Although videogames constantly try to blur the line, there is one thing that hinders them. Framerate. Simply put, games do not seem very real when your framerate goes to nuts. Therefore...don't worry about stuff like that, I'm going to be kicking your ass so hard you won't be able to notice it.

yeah, and then when a huge piece of rubble falls onto the flag and you cant pick it up, whatcha gonna do?
it would be a cool idea, sept for the lower framrate junk. whatever the hell that is..and the whole idea of a big piece of rubble falling onto the flag..

...itd be totally cool. you have 1 bar and no shields so you shoot the wall and bring down cover till your team gets there and your shields revive.
OOPS! i forgot, since they might take out health, this owuldnt HELP AT ALL!!


but there is a way to move it..only one way...ooh Shishka!

Well, you'd presumably be smart enough to MOVE OUT OF THE WAY of the rubble as you shoot it down for cover. However, since the rubble wouldn't land predictably, you probably couldn't manipulate it so that it would fall down right in front of you. You'd simply have to use the chunks of rock wherever they land.

well, yeah obviously youd move outa the way. thatd be kinda weird.."I died cuz i shot down some rubble for cover and it landed on me."
yeah, it wont land predictably. true. and the enemy would just go around it...but its good protection from a sniper!
but another disadvantage would be that in CTF the teams might just shoot the environment down over their flags at the begging. so noone can get the flag.
