Conquest and Conquest Large | Game modes Battlefield 4 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The main aim of both teams is to extend control over possibly the greatest number of flags which are spread all over the map. The number of flags and the size of the map depends on what mode and what map the combat is taking place on (the Conquest Large mode, as the name suggests, offers an area larger than in the case of the Conquest).

An important element of the Conquest mode are the tickets. At the beginning of each round, both teams start with 300 tickets (in the regular Conquest mode) or 800 (in the Conquest Large mode) - this is, obviously a default number and many servers will have modified the number of tickets by their owners.

When one of the teams is in control of more than a half of the overall amount of flags, the number tickets will start to decline gradually. Furthermore, the team loses a ticket whenever one of the team members dies but, this can be counteracted if the member is reanimated.

The flag that you control will function as a respawn point for you and your team, as well as for the vehicles assigned to it, which are definitely a valuable asset in the battlefield. It is worth noting, however, that these vehicles can also be controlled by the enemy team- even though they constitute a part of the arsenal of the nation that your team represents. this thing itself should serve as an encouragement to defend your own flag.

You can recognize the flag's status by the color of the circular marker above that flag. White means that the flag is neutral, orange - seized by the enemy team, whereas the flags already seized by your team are marked with blue.

Capturing of the flags is very important and should constitute a priority for you and your team. To capture a flag, you will have to come within its reach - this will be brought to your attention, when the circular marker with the letter assigned to that flag appears on the screen. When the flag is neutral, the process of capturing will automatically start and both teams will be notified of that.

Capturing of the flag belonging to the enemy team is a bit more difficult and it takes longer because you will have to neutralize it first (remove the enemy team' flag) and capture it for yourself.

The process of capturing the flag can be speeded up, though - the more players of the given team are staying within the reach of the flag, the shorter it will take to capture it. Still, capturing can be interrupted, if the players from the enemy team come within its reach. In this case, the advantage in numbers of the teams within the reach of the flag, works as a decisive factor, when it comes to which team starts the process of capturing the flag. For example: if, around a flag, there are two players that represent both teams, neither of them will be able to seize the flag. Still, if either of them is joined by another member of his team, then thy will be able to seize the flag - even though there is an enemy unit around.

The process of capturing the flag controlled by the enemy team is a bit more demanding and it takes longer because you will first need to neutralize it (i.e. remove the enemy team's flag) and then capture it.

It is highly recommended that players cooperate within a team. Capturing the flag on one's own is very risky - especially is already under control of the enemy team; then the enemies will be respawning near the flag until the flag is neutralized. In such cases, the other members of your team may prove very helpful. They will be able to respawn next to you and help you capture the flag.

Victory ensues as soon as the tickets of the opposing team drop to zero.

Useful classes: In the Conquest mode, all of the classes are useful and, to a large extent, it is good cooperation of all classes what results in victory. Still, an assault soldier may prove the most valuable asset here, due to his capacity to reanimate and heal his team.
