New Frostbite 2 games will require 64-bit OS

Bad news for those still running 32-bit operating systems; a tweet from DICE Frostbite rendering architect, Johan Andersson states that you'll need a 64-bit OS to run next year's games powered by the Frostbite 2 engine.

If you are on 32-bit, great opportunity to upgrade to Windows 8" Johan Andersson, DICE

We have already seen Battlefield and Need For Speed: The Run utilising the new engine, and next year's Medal of Honor; Warfighter will be running the tech once again. It seems between Frostbite 2 and the upcoming Unreal Engine 4, we're in for some graphical treats next year.

No biggie for most gamers, a 32 bit version is a waste of most systems.

Isn't BF3 already on Frostbite 2?
