Pallet Destruction? Destructible crops?

I was just thinking. Wouldn't it be cool if you could damage a pallet with your m1 attack? After so many attacks it breaks and each attack would mean breaking it manually would be faster? I don't think it would break the game at all to do so. Even maybe make it to where it gets damaged after a survivor jumps across it. After all, once a pallet is thrown it's not like it's used often enough to be frowned upon?

While we're at it... It would be kind of cool to chop down the crops in the cornfield as well. Kind of add something else to it to spice it up. Like avoiding areas of the cornfield that have been chopped down?

    It would waste too much time doing any of that

    Sure it would, but imagine in the cornfield when you attack it cuts the crops as well as hitting/missing a survivor.

    Pallets would pretty much be the same. You go to hit a survivor, but he makes the slide across the pallet and instead you hit the pallet which then counts for a slightly faster breaking animation than normal.

    It obviously isn't that big of a deal or game changing, but I always wonder about the small things in this game.

    Not a very good idea the game has a bad case of spaghetti code. It would either crash the game somehow or drop it's performance severely.

    Sounds like Minecraft. Hack, hack, hack. Not a lot of fun.

    I like the other idea though: getting rid of undergrowth or corn would be so much fun.
    I propose a new killer idea: The Combine Harvester. Would probably suck at Léry's, but hey, no one's perfect.

    lol Yeah, probably so. Too bad details like that aren't really viable then :/

    I personally just want to decapitate fleeing crows that attempt to fly away when I approach.

    If that ever happened. I would buy leather-face to eliminate every single crop of rotten fields.

    ######### rotten fields.

    lol Imagine if they put those details in? I know you don't really gain anything from it and it is time consuming, but I thought it would be a nice little addition. It would also make the rotten fields a bit more unique. Heh, You don't even have to fully destroy the crops. Just half the height when you swing or attack with leatherface's chainsaw.
