So they have gone from capture the gold to capture the flag, whats different about that.

You have to capture the gold in a certain order, the flags can be captured in any order you want, plus they can be re-captured by the enemy.
The more flags you have, the quicker the enemy's 'reinforcements bar' (or tickets as they are actually known) goes down and vice versa.
 
How does the spawning work on this then? Squad or any flag you own i guess?

Do you pick your spawn point of the map like in BF2?

Yes to all those questions lol. Yeah you can spawn at the flags you've got or you can spawn in your squad.

I've been playing this for about half an hour now and I already think it's better than the gold rush mode. I mean don't get me wrong gold rush wasn't actually a bad mode, but it seemed a bit too linear just going after two targets. Now with conquest you're free to go after what you want, and I like the way they've incorporated the mode into the already existing maps.

I think I like end of the line the most :) Though oasis is still pretty good

Has the update made any changes to gold rush?
The squad system needed tinkering with and also it would be nice to choose a server to play on, instead of being dumped on one that might give you lag problems.

'Fraid I can't comment on that mate, only had a go at the conquest mode. I agree with what you say about the squad system and the server selection, the amount of times I've joined a server where you have to wait a few seconds to get a kill confirmation is just dire. I have to disconnect from probably a third of the servers I join almost straight away because of lag problems.

I have heard though that they fixed an issue with the PS3s in europe who were having problems with the voip service. I was one of those, whenever i turned my mic on the game just lagged like mad. Not really had a chance to see if they've fixed it now or not but I did have the mic on before and I was encountering any major lag issues.

Just for you guys who've been having the same voip issues as me :)
 
loving it.....really like oasis in this mode.
i think team play needs to be a lot tighter in conquest ,was on a team of "headless chickens" and got slaughtered.
 
Hmmmm whats going on.. the game updated itself but on the multiplayer menu I see no way of choosing what gamemode to join. Is it random then what type of game you enter?

Have you tried selecting the 'custom match' option on the multiplayer menu? That's how I got myself into a conquest match
