Frostbite 2.0 Features Revealed

GamingTips posted an article with information about the Frostbite 2 engine and it's details. As DICE said before, PC will be the leading platform for Battlefield 3. BF3 will still look really good on the consoles, but it is restricted to 24 players whereas PC players can enjoy up to 64 players online (another 40!) The details for Frostbite 2:


  • Frostbite 2 will only support DirectX 10 and 11, as we reported.
  • Frostbite 2.0 is recommended to run on 64-bit CPUs and versions of Windows
  • The engine will have a new set of compilers and pipelines, which will improve its diversity and open the possibility to mod tools.
  • Tile-based deferred shading via DirectCompute, which will improve performance.
  • Morphological Anti-Aliasing (MLAA), implemented with DirectCompute, which provides better bandwidth conservation (exclusive DirectX 11 feature).
  • Real-time radiosity (a dynamic light source with HDR), powered by the Enlighten middleware engine, previously used in God of War 3 for the PS3
  • Improved environment destruction.
