It'd be nice to figure out the viability of that idea.

Some soft cover that certain weapon types could penetrate would be very cool. Are decals possible with the game's engine? If destroying a wall isn't possible, maybe scorched or bullet-ridden decal textures could be stuck onto walls that are hit by weapons. It would make it look like terrain was somewhat destructible, anyway. Combine that with the 'soft cover' concept and it may be the next best thing to actual destructible terrain.

I think decals are possible but I'm not entirely sure. Anyone?

BTAxis:
I think we've already got them.

freegamer:
I think destructible terrain is pointless.  However, destructible objects are not.  Powerful weapons should disintegrate wooden fences etc.

BTAxis:
Same difference.
