Where did this content go?

I was playing WARFARE onyx coast and looked at the stone arches and remembered seeing a video where you could destroy them. I keep trying and shoot them or find a shaped charge (like avalanche) but it doesnt seem to exist.......

Check this video out, old as the hills now. Interesting seeing a more open Onyx Coast with orbs being carried in vehicles!! Plus the stone archway being destroyed...... I hope this is in maps to come, unless it is an Agei phsyx thing?

Well, perhaps it hit frames to hard to have that happen, have you played the phyx levels? The fps are wayyy lower then on normal levels. Obviously if you can't destroy it now it was a design choice either way, if it was perfect for gameplay why would they remove it?

I guess they figured carrying the orb in a vehicle was way too powerful and that it would promote 1 man armies vs actually having to work as a team to win. Grab the orb get in a manta, grab the orb get in a manta etc.

yeah i much prefer the orb/flag running not to be done in vehicles, as it promotes teamwork and grapple skills - plus the added tension of falling off your hoverboard just before capping lol !!

They might have taken out that trap when the got rid of all but three vehicles in Onyx. With just the levi and to mantas, it may have proven too easy to destroy the levi and imbalanced the map (not nice and balanced like now, hehe).

Man, it would have been nice to have had vehicles on the human side of that map like they show, or anything to balance the sides. It seems kind of dumb to make a 32 player map with three vehicles and to have the vehicles so imbalanced between the sides. Thanks to Onslaught, no one likes to get into the levi turrets, and it can't really drive very far so it almost doesn't count.

It's hard to believe that Epic spent as much time on 3 as they did and still put out so bad of maps. If maps as bad as Islander gave points for successfuly defending the far core by the end it would make some sense, but for normal pick-up games, the levi side of onyx and the defending side of islander are just waiting to loose.

Maybe that's Cold Harbor, not Onyx Coast. Cold Harbor was cut from the release.

Vehicles carrying orbs use the exact same code as vehicles carrying flags. Epic wrote all the code for that, then turned it off at the last moment (for reasons I'll never agree with).

The turret in the middle seems to be in a better place also, like you can actually shoot something with it
Unless it's a levi turret that's being shown.

i want my destruction back
there were a lot of previews of blowing up sections of maps and now all we have is "use the shaped charge or deemer to destroy the barricade" ... wtf?
