Electronic Arts today sent word that Conquest mode will be released as free DLC for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions of Battlefield: Bad Company on August 7.

First seen in Battlefield 1942, Conquest pits players against each other in a fast paced battle with the primary objective to eliminate the rival team’s total ticket count, which can be depleted by killing other players on the opposition or capturing points.

Four of the maps currently playable in Gold Rush mode online will be available to Conquest players.
