Frostbite is a game engine created by DICE, developers of the Battlefield series. It used in Battlefield: Bad Company, Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 as well as being used as the technology foundation for future titles in development at DICE and EA. One of the key strengths of the engine is large-scale environmental destruction with online vehicular game play, which is brought to new heights on the PC by utilizing DirectX® 11 at the core of the engine.
Below is a screenshot from the Frostbite "1000 points of light" demo showing the use of DirectCompute 11 to generate far more sources of light than previously possible.
