I like to think of Frostbite 2 as a prototype engine, similar to Frostbite 1. They were testing out the community's reactions to new gameplay features and audio/visual rendering on a large-scale, brand-name FPS. Frostbite 1 was improved dramatically to 1.5 in BC2 and Frostbite 2 will probably be improved in the next BF game.
