Battlefield: BC to Receive Conquest Mode as DLC
by Chris Faylor, Apr 25, 2008 12:22pm PDTThough EA DICE's upcoming Battlefield: Bad Company (PS3, X360) will not include the franchises' traditional Conquest multiplayer mode when it arrives on June 23, the mode will be available as a free download following the game's release.
Speaking with HEXUS.gaming, senior producer Karl-Magnus Troedsson noted that fan demand for Conquest had caused the company to reconsider its inclusion in Bad Company. No firm date was provided for the download, though the site estimates its arrival "shortly" after the title's June launch.
Public outcry played a similar role in EA DICE's decision to drop pay-to-play weaponry from the game. Players will instead be able to acquire those weapons by buying the Gold Edition of the game, earning the highest level in multiplayer, or participating in various promotions.

On the other hand, if they didn't specifically say it was free, people would have assumed otherwise and a single anonymous forum post would have created a shitstorm that would take weeks to undo.
