Game modes
Conquest Assault

( Click to show/hide )

Conquest Assault is a Battlefield 3 game mode that is very similar to the regular Conquest mode, where the core gameplay is about capturing and holding control points. Conquest Assault however, pits one team as attackers and the other as defenders. Conquest Assault is only available in the Back To Karkand expansion pack.

Conquest Assault objectives
Conquest Assault has one team defending all capture points, while the other team attacks and tries to capture one flag after the other. The attackers in Conquest Assault have more tickets than the defenders at the beginning.

Conquest Assault tips
As an attacker in Conquest Assault, most of the action will happen at the first capture point, where the two teams clash. This is a great opportunity for flanking and capturing some of the other flags and thereby gaining spawn points behind enemy lines.
As defenders, setting up quick defensive positions at the first flag where attackers will assault is important, but also protect pathways which give attacks access to other flags and flaking roads.

You forgot one... The Forklift is on the list I posted on csm..

lol

[Klaus]

Didn't we decide the fork lift doesn't count?

[Eric]

I purchased...is it supposed to be downloading? F this Origin shit

[Klaus]

It was installed with the patch a couple weeks ago. You will need to update you browser plug in and then you are set. Wake looked cool. I flew around on a empty server this morning.

[MnWilly]

Great! Bought it, got an email saying I bought it, shows up in game news feed that I bought it but it won't let me join expansion games. Says I need to get it. Nothing more frustrating than that shit.

[Klaus]

On your Origin client does the game show up as Battlefield 3 Limited edition with a photo of half BF3 and half back to Karkand? If not you might need to enter your code into the origin client. (not sure)

[MnWilly]

I was given no code and I bought it directly through the origin client. I updated the browser part and everything shows that I bought it and can play it. when i try to join a game it has a pop up that says i need to buy it.

[Klaus]

Restart your computer. I sent you a screen shot of what mine looks like (to your email).

[Ender]

Sounds like fun, lol.

Maybe they should have waited a little longer to come out with a damn expansion.
