    Where they say
    in a universe where nearly everything is destructible.....

    It sounds like they are using the CRYSIS game engine (and game of same name).
    Take a look at the game demo video here: They show and say the very same ting in the video.

    I'd heard that it was coming out for PC as well but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it wasn't. I have pretty much stopped playing single player games anyhow.

    EA though 😉

    Eh, I've given up on consoles. Besides, the last BF console game was a flop.

    Give me mouse and keyboard any day!

    The funny thing is back in my Quake Team Fortress days, I would have never said that. I was strickly a Joystick and Trackball guy. BF42 was the first shooter I ever played with the keyboard. :-)

    Other than an Atari 2600 (which is the ONLY console I have ever owned) I see no need for them.

    I used to play on a friends 2600 way back when. I only ever owned a Colico Vision. It was cool for its day I guess but the C64 games were always better. I stayed with computer games ever since. 😉
