I play this on 360. For consoles, it's quite a bit above the competition.
As for destroyable environments, this game is obviously meant to be played differently. If anything, lack of "solid" cover (Also seen in: real life) requires you to use strategy and adapt to your constantly changing surroundings. As far as I know, BF:BC pioneered this... or at least the use of destructible environments in this specific genre.
It's fun as stuff.
