There's a lot of talk about "evil" publishers nickel-and-diming consumers through microtransactions, Electronic Arts among them. But perhaps proving that they're not the "big bad," EA are have announced a new, free mode for Battlefield: Bad Company on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, "Conquest." 

From EA:

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 opponent’s 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.

The new, fancy mode will be available this Thursday, August 7. Oh, and did we mention it's free? Yeah, we're cheap and that kind of talk excites us.

After reading reviews of this game, I still can't decide whether or not to get it. This new mode seems fun.

I'm impressed that they god it out so quickly, surprising kudos to EA. BF: Bad Company is massively underrated imo.

This game can be quite enjoyable if you manage to get paired with a squad that isn't allergic to teamwork. Unfortunately it is all too often that I am paired with a squad full of snipers who mostly just sit around and wait for free kills.

This game is sorely underplayed and undertalked about! GO BUY IT!
