Pretty awesome video. I just hope you can change the landscape a little more than that.

huh. yknow deformable and destructable ladn would really make a difference in some games, take the second halo, sure items can explode, you can shoot out the wheels on a warthog, but when you throw a grenade it explodes leveing a smooth surface with a burn mark on it, they should use nex techologies like this to make craters and stuff in real time.

Nice find Neil, I'll keep my eye on this.

I got a funny feeling something similar will be used in Halo 3.

i dont think so, i have senn a fair few vids and i think the new pysihcs in the game is more devoted to the new types of shields in the game, like the shiled grenade, like in one vid a guy threw a grenade, then a shield grenade over that, stood next to it and you see the grenade explode in a shiled bubble and the inside was just the same black ground, itd be cool to see like a cicrular area of devastation, like the time warp bubbles at the start of the terminator.

Sweetness. I also watched a trailer recently for the new Battlefield game by EA, I forget the name now, but apparently in that game you can destroy your surroundings. So if you lob a grenade at a wall, sh*t's gonna get blown up.
