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.
so looking forward to this, i think all the time they have put into this will be worth it folks,i mean they redone all the levels so that it fits in with the game mode,
Oh hell yes the best just got even better, i really hope they keep adding more things to the game like more maps or weapons. If they do i'll never stop playing this ;)
Posted by GriftGFX 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
Posted by mt_sabao Innovation doesn't hurt now does it?
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!
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."

Yeah, you have had netflix for ages too. We got Zune Marketplace now though and can finally rent stuff on the 360. The points system on the 360 is retarded when you wanna rent a movie though. (6 Hours ago)

Destructoid was talking about a video rental service on the PS3. Has that launched in europe yet? If so, is it only accessible in select countries? (7 Hours ago)
SimonM7
Yep. Kinda disappointing considering this was Oshii's contribution (of Ghost in The Shell fame), I honestly expected a lot better. (8 Hours ago)

@SimonM7: yYeah did not like the art style but i lovd the way they dig into the halo lore and not concentrate on the cheif or spartans all the time, Babysitter is still my fav though. (8 Hours ago)

just finished Dragon Age this evening. Overall another Bioware hit but the story is a little too simple...no big shocks like KOTOR here. Your choices really do matter big time though. GOTY 8.7/10 (8 Hours ago)

Yeah the art style ended up looking like utter garbage. The music saves the drama some though. (8 Hours ago)

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.
Right Puma and now we have waited 2-3 Month for it ;)
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did the update come with an option to turn off that terrible grain? I just hate it ...
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.
And, the grain filter, it's a artistic direction option, why would they remove it?
cool! now they need to add parachutes and the ability to go prone =} and the game will be complete. then I'll go buy it =D

The demo is as buggy as the full game.
