Some areas in the last Castle Wolfenstein were destructible, and
the PS2 game Red Faction (and sequels, but not sure about the PC
version) had some destructible areas.  Also, iirc Battlefield 1942
(or was it Call to Duty?) had some destructible elements.

I also think Deus Ex, Theif, Delta Force, and Splinter Cell had some
destructible elements.

I don't play FPS myself, though.
