I double you'd last long against sniper rifles and rocket launchers. ;-)

Actually, I'm waiting for the day when computer games will portray this 
realistically. It's like HL2:DM. 12 guys run around inside a crumbling 
dungeon hurling grenades and using rocket launchers. And after 20 
minutes, the map itself just has a few bullet holes. Obviously, if you 
did this in a *real* crumbling dungeon, there would be walls missing and 
so forth! But no game seems to have managed to do this yet... Presumably 
having a completely deformable map is just too much of a technical 
challenge right now.
