Xbox 360 PS3

EA and DICE are finally ready to release the Conquest mode to the Battlefield: Bad Company community, being available on thursday. This is the classic mode being used in previous BF games, and I will certainly start playing Bad Company again for this fantastic mode.
Update: Conquest trailer added.

EA press release:
On August 7th, Battlefield: Bad Company™ players worldwide will get to experience the intense rush as they tackle online play in a whole new way with Conquest mode that will be released as a free download for the PLAYSTATION®3 and Xbox 360™.

Made famous by Battlefield 1942™, Conquest mode pits players against each other in a fast paced battle to eliminate the opposing team’s tickets. Players deplete their opponent’s tickets by one point per kill and can cause their opponents tickets to spiral downwards by capturing control points. Four maps that are currently available for online play in Gold Rush mode will be available to conquer with Conquest mode.

They had said that this mode was going to be out at the same time it was released though. Better late than never I suppose.

Why would the mode effect the graphics?

And hurray! I've been looking forward to this as a replacement to Gold Rush, which got really repetitive imo

From the screenshots, I don't think they removed the grain effect. The water also looks worse.

Yes dude, as if adding a new game mode would make the water look worse???!! What kind of sense does that make?!

And, the grain filter, it's a artistic direction option, why would they remove it?

What about commanders, more free-form squads, and jets (among other things)?

Good to see though, BF aint BF without conquest.

Innovation doesn't hurt now does it? ;)
Gold rush is an amazing new mode and a gush of fresh air. I'm not so sure i'm gonna touch the conquest. i like the more front line focused gameplay of gold rush, and the sense of a real battle developing (attackers invading the centre of city!), whereas sometimes in conquest you frequently saw people running back and forth between flags, with no sense of strategy.

But i do agree with you thought, chain of command would have been perfect

Nah it doesn't hurt at all. I actually loved Titan in the 2142 beta. I never purchased the retail game though. I was too offended that they nerfed jump pods in the beta. They were so f'n awesome before.

From the Bad Company beta, well, I didn't really care for it or Gold Rush. But I can see how some people might like it. I think I might go back to BF2 for a while after the new map(s)/patch comes out, but til then, I'm taking a little vacation from FPS for fighters. I'll be back though, I always come back to FPS.

Hell, I'll probably go back to COD4 before that.. but yeah.. I want more BF! Bring on BF3!

Still the same shitty grainy graphics, heard a rumour we'd be getting an option to turn it off, hope so as it looks like crap.

Commented on 2008-08-07 22:17:25

honestly, the screenshots don't do this game justice. it looks amazing, especially in HD

I love the feel and the looks of the game.. but the bugs -_-. If you compare the bfbc website with the forums, you don't understand how they are able to say the following on the front page:

"Over the last couple of months we have seen an enormous number of players enjoying the Beta, the Demo and finally the full release of Battlefield: Bad Company."

The demo is as buggy as the full game.
