“It’s hard to say that DICE have done something monumental or evolutionary with the Frostbite 2 engine, because they haven’t. What they have done though is take features that the PC gamer community expects to see in a modern game and implemented them excellently. It’s subtle and silly little details that all add up to a visually impressive and highly destructive environment. Little dust motes can be seen in the lens flare, when you climb a hill you can be blinded by the sunlight, both fire and water move realistically and reflections, especially at night are really good. I do have to say that at times though, the effects can be a little OTT; in some scene’s I am thinking “Hey DICE, J. J. Abrams called, he’d like his lens flare back for the next Star Trek film”, but for the most part it’s done very well. ”
