[6] Frostbite 2 Engine:
Battlefield 3™ leaps ahead of its time with the power of Frostbite 2,
DICE’s new cutting-edge game engine. This state-of-the-art technology is
the foundation on which Battlefield 3 is built, delivering enhanced
visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic
audio and character animation utilizing ANT technology as seen in the
latest EA SPORTS™ games.
“We wanted to create the most immersive and emotionally powerful
Battlefield game ever and we needed new technology to deliver on our
vision,” said Patrick Bach, Executive Producer.
Having built Frostbite 2 over the course of the last three years, this
is not a minor iteration of what DICE has used before. Frostbite 2 has
been built from scratch to match the design goals for Battlefield 3 and
beyond.
“Where other shooters are treading water Battlefield 3 innovates.
Frostbite 2 is a game-changer for shooter fans. We call it a
next-generation engine for current-generation platforms.” said Karl
Magnus Troedsson, General Manager DICE
There are 5 key pillars which define the Frostbite 2 experience from a technical and artistic point of view
•Animation
•Audio
•Rendering
•Scale
•Destruction

"Going forward, we will fill these pillars with detailed information on
how Battlefield 3 is transforming the shooter genre with the tool that
is Frostbite 2."


[7] Gamelog:
Similar to CoD Elite, gamelog is a social media tool. The only difference is that it's 100% free. Not much is known about this tool, but we can expect it to contain stats and much much more.
