DICE 'we can do earthquakes in multiplayer'

[Dark Drakan]

​

Remember that scene in the gameplay demos when the earthquake cracks the landscape and brings down the building infront of the player? Well DICE have claimed that they could recreate those earthquakes in multiplayer too. Speaking in an interview with PSM3 magazine, lead multiplayer designer Lars Gustavsson confirmed that the quakes seen in single-player demos are "technically possible" in Battlefield 3 multiplayer games too.​

We're still looking into ambient destruction in multi-player; it's still too early to say really. It's technically possible to have earthquakes in multi-player using Frostbite 2. We feel like kids walking into sweet shops with Frostbite - it has so many features we never knew we needed, and we're still figuring out how best to use them. It's just the start for this engine. So far, the only limit to the things we can do with it are our own creative restraints.​

That actually sounds pretty damn awesome, especially if it's a random event that doesn't always happen the same way twice. I'm not much for military shooters, but this one looks like it could be the golden egg.

If they are to test it in the multiplayer maps id bet they will polish it up for some DLC or something, it wont be ready for release as they are merely saying they 'could' do it at the moment.
