Well, regardless of the advertisement of destructibility, DICE isn't going to make absolutely everything destructible. There has to be a balance between destruction and retaining the flow of a map.
If everything was completely destructible, an entire map would be leveled quite quickly, and we'd just be playing in piles of rubble. While being able to destroy everything would certainly be fun, it wouldn't do much for actual gameplay.
With that said, the destructibility is varied. Some buildings will come down completely, while others that are integral to map design will remain largely intact, with their facades being destructible to reduce cover. Other things like immobile cars and such will explode. Brick wall cover can be chipped away or destroyed with explosives, etc.
Frostbite 2 isn't just about destruction, though. It's about the entire game engine, which is completely rebuilt.
