"Dynamic Time of Day
Weather
DropShip integration into non-CW game modes (still under a 'single spawn' system)
Map design improvements (size, geometry, and layout)
Physics objects that react to collisions (such as trees and lamp posts)"


According to the post for the founders' event these are some of the things that could turn up in the remasters of the original maps. I'm pretty excited about this. I know 'could' doesn't mean 'will', but I imagine they wouldn't be announcing the possibility of destructible terrain if enough progress hadn't been made on it that there was a good chance of it happening. Not to mention all the other stuff. I am pleased.

[Corbenik]

"could" does not mean it will obviously hoping it does.,

[Alistair Winter]

All that stuff sounds great, but seeing is believing. I'll be happy when it's in the game.

Words are wind

[TheArisen]

Here's hoping!

and PGI has been blowing that hot air since Beta.

[Destructicus]

Knocking over trees and poles is not the same as blowing a chunk out of a building, I wouldn't call it destructible terrain or put words in PGI's mouth

[stjobe]

"These updates may include:"

Let me point out the weasel word in that sentence:

"These updates MAY include:"

We've had destructible objects in some places since closed beta. PGI has always said it's too hard to do anything more than that single tree, those few lampposts, that fence they long since removed from River City.

Don't get your hopes up for your 'mech cutting deep swathes through dense forests. At best, you'll get a lamppost or a few railings that drop when you run into them.

[Senor Cataclysmo]

Meh, it's better than nothing. I mean, I'd be happy if everything on that list *except* destructible terrain made it in.

Like I say, I know 'may' is no guarantee, but Im sure they wouldn't be making any announcements if there wasnt a decent chance of it happening.

Hoping for the best... Fearing the worst...

Hahahahaha, heh.

Sorry for laughing, but look up the words "CW in 90 days" some time, willya?

I remember those days. I remember thinking we might never see CW, but it certainly looks to me like things have changed for the better of late. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

No, in this case "trees and lamp posts" pretty much just means trees and lamp posts.

Swathes will be cut.

Is that like "There will be no 3PV" swathes will be cut or is that like CW in 90 days swathes will be cut? Inquiring minds want to know.

Hey, Alex. Here's a thought. Put Russ' House on one of the maps and let someone walk an Atlas through it. j/k

Ahh yes, the fabled White Knight........there's always one or two quick to defend the indefensible. It must be a terrible existence, being willing to accept less than promised in life.........

Looking forward to cutting swathes with you on the battlefield
