Still no destructible terrain?  That's a deal-breaker, especially with how tedious it is to clear a map in that game.  It'd be easier if I could just level the city.

I doubt that will ever happen, since they use the Quake (2?) engine for 3D. I don't think they can change that without a major rewrite.

Yeaaaahhh...When they STARTED the project, everyone was yelling at them about how stupid of an idea it was to use Quake 2 because the terrain wasn't destructible, and like fools, they did it anyway.  They get no respect from me.  I'm all for an engine rewrite at this point because it's not like they have to be very efficient with an engine that old...all the old optimizations for old machines?  Just rip them out etc...

(yes I know it's not that easy, but it's their own goddamn fault)

I agree, it was a very stupid decision.

I've found it's best to just Auto Mission the levels with plenty of buildings. The game apparently is glitched; auto-resolve gives you neither a penalty nor a bonus, it just clears the site and gives you a bunch of dead aliens (and a UFO).
