 Battlefield 3 (Q4 2010/Q1 2011) Direct X11

Earlier this year, DICE announced that Battlefield 3 was in development, but didn’t reveal much further, other than the game would feature the new Frostbite 2 engine. While the upcoming Bad Company 2 will be build using a version of Frostbite 1 which includes DX 11 support, it unfortunately won’t be present in the final version of the game.

Battlefield 3 on the other hand, will be build with Frostbite 2, and will include all the DX 11 bells and whistles, which should make the destruction and effects even more prominent. Look for BF3 late 2010 or early 2011 — depending on how successful Bad Company 2 on the PC is.
