Andersson was also questioned about why team didn’t think of using this technique, but they didn’t implement it because of the fact that it makes it ultra-complex, which is already being combined with the temporal techniques that DICE is currently using.
Adaptive resolution is a technique that has been used in the recent Xbox One version of Star Wars: Battlefront as well, but all we can rely on is Anderson’s explanation.
Since we are already discussing resolution, the technical director mentioned also that the use of Battlefront’s temporal anti-aliasing option (TAA), but it has not been configured into the beta yet.

The technique that is only used by certain newer graphic cards and it uses many different techniques to make the edges even smoother. However, this option has not been completely implemented yet, so you can expect even smoother visuals once the final version is released.
