    Shooting off tree branches?

    I hope someone involved in the development sees this. I can't remember if it was Farcry 3 or 4, but I know this used to be possible. I agree in the grand scheme of things its not very important... but having destructible environments, even a little bit really helps with the realism/immersion, especially for me. I can only think of one other game that had halfway decent destructible environments and that's going back probably at least 10 years, probably more. Anyway, I thought it was a super cool feature and especially now that we have nice realistic dense vegetation I think it'd be awesome to have this feature back in the game. Oh, and also realistic bullet penetration since we now have separate AP ammo. I'm talking about things other than vehicles, such as doors, small trees, possibly thin/weak walls, that sort of thing. I see bullets can go thru people, so that's a good start. I also like the bullet drop and think that was very well done. I realize this can take a lot to implement but you had it in previous versions, so what happened? Anyone else that would like to see more realistic physics in the way of ballistics?

    Oh, and while I'm talking about physics, I really wish the cars/trucks were faster. Fast enough that you actually need to use brakes to make most turns. That's another one that kinda hurts immersion and should be easy to change, but not as important as environmental effects. Maybe even make it an option if people like the cars as is. As i'm thinking about this more, I think trees used to sway from explosions as well? It's good that they can burn off, but the fire only goes up maybe halfway on some trees and it looks really odd. Would be awesome and highly appreciated if these things could be put back in game. Otherwise a nicely polished, well done game. If anyone else agrees with me please post your thoughts/ideas and keep this thread alive in hopes of it being seen by the right people. Thank you.

    The examples of shooting trees, swaying trees in the wind and from explosions I recall most was from Far Cry 2......

    FWIW - the "feedback" would probably get noticed quicker in one of the many "I'd like to see" threads posted in the General Discussion forum......, much more traffic there than this sub-forum.

    Thanks, I guess I'll try posting there. I knew it was one of the prequels, Farcry 2 does sound about right now that you mention it.
