Refraction were actually the original developers of Battlefield 1942, and DICE picked up the project after the companies merged. The Refractor Engine was used for all Battlefield games up to the creation of the Frostbite Engine, and its abilities to support large levels and large player sizes in multiplayer made the gameplay of Battlefield and Codename Eagle possible. Refraction is primarily notable for the creation of the both the Refactor Engine and Codename Eagle, which had a significant impact on the Battlefield series. Codename Eagle continued to be supported by DICE up to the release of Battlefield 1942, receiving new maps, weapons, and vehicles through several patches released in 2000. The company was later purchased by fellow Swedish developer DICE shortly after Codename Eagle's release in 2000 and the team was absorbed into the company, where they went on to complete both Legacy of Rosemond Hill and Battlefield 1942. The game did, however, develop a small cult following around its multiplayer aspect, which Refraction actively supported.ДЄfter the completion of Codename Eagle, Refraction began working on another horse racing game, Legacy of Rosemond Hill, and an early version of what was to become Battlefield 1942. Codename Eagle received mixed reviews on release, with its gameplay receiving praise but its storyline being viewed as lacking and contrived. Codename Eagle was designed to take advantage of Refractor's capabilities with expansive environments and vehicle usage, and featured both first-person gameplay where players could use any vehicles on the level at will, which was not often seen during the time of Eagle's creation. ДЄfter their early successes, Refraction then began to work on their own IPs, the first of which was Codename Eagle, an action-adventure game set in an alternate timeline of World War I. The game did fairly well, being nominated for a Europrix award and became a best seller in Scandinavia. The team then contributed to the development of Horse and Pony II in late 1998, which was a children's 3D horseback riding game produced by Take-Two Interactive. The game sold 250,000 copies worldwide after heavy distribution by Volvo, and was considered a significant success for the small team.
