Frostbite 2 is supposed to be the engine that pushes us into the post-DX9 era. I'm sure they could have done it perfectly for DX9 too, but didn't want to take the extra time to optimize it. I don't care. I'm glad because hopefully this will make other developers push their own limits.
Also, nVidia and ATi are releasing specialized driver profiles for the BF3 beta tomorrow. Also, many will be pleased to know that artillery strikes will be available to call in by squad leaders. There aren't any details yet on which squad leader can call it in, when it can be called in, or how it is called in. I expect other features like supply drops may be trickle down to the squad level in BF3, as well.
