Well it was inevitable that it was going to happen. If it is going to be cross-platform and specifically for OSX it might even have to be use OpenGL as the preferred renderer. This would mean that the engine could be developed for PC, Mac OSX and PS3 concurrently...

... Wouldn't that be an efficient use of resources.

Oh silly me, DICE and EA are handling it. That would mean its likely to be a bulky mass of un-optimised tripe that wont be complete when you purchase it, because they intend to sell you the other half as a fooking expansion pack 6 months down the line!
