2042 is lacking in meaningful destruction

One of the most innovative and iconic directions DICE decided to go with was having dope destruction in their games. The bad company series sported destruction loud and proud and it was a staple in the series. In my opinion, destruction is as much a part of the battlefield identity as the squad system, they are one and the same.

I am very sad to say that 2042 has very little destruction. Sure you can blow up some radio towers on top of sky scrapers... and yah the oil depos on breakaway are pretty cool... but there is one major problem with these designs, they barely impact gameplay. Destruction used to be a core part of gameplay and map design, but maps no longer have buildings that are impacted by destruction. Ok, there is SOME destruction, but very little considering this is a battlefield game. The best example I can find is the warehouses which are featured on many 2042 maps, but imo they are very plain and boring to fight in. most of the warehouses are standalone buildings that are very spread out and only have one floor.

I miss the old village style map designs battlefield used to have. They featured lots of small buildings cluttered together in little village style areas. The buildings were highly destructible, lots of fun to traverse, and featured many options for engaging in combat. Destruction was a core part of the building designs, and it had a meaningful impact on the progression of the battle. The most important part of destruction... it was FUN to blow * up! Not only was it good design but it felt good to do it. There is barely anything in the 2042 maps that gives that same feeling I crave.

The only 2042 map that comes close to the good old building destruction I love is hourglass, but that is only one small part of the map, and honestly a bit lacking compared to the old maps.

Overall I think the current maps are not bad, I just think more destructible buildings would add a lot to the gameplay.
