There are several versions available of this engine like Frostbite 1, Frostbite 1.5 and Frostbite 2 which is latest one and best from the entire previous series. Frostbite 2 comes with Battlefield 3 which is still not forgotten by people especially to gamers. Frostbite 2 has really proven its gaming capacity mechanism as it can be seen in Battlefield 3. NFS RUN also came with this engine, but the engine has been famous by Battlefield 3.
Frostbite is developing their technology as on ‘graphical’ side and on ‘development side’. This Engine rocks but still expecting more advancement in it. The engine produced great visual appearance. All the minute points about things in the game like water, forest, wood, house, person and buildings etc. are greatly crafted. The Engine looks stunning. The detailing is wonderful and looks like happening in real world. But still some flaws in it, which will definitely be improved in future time.
