Conquest mode

Conquest sometimes referred to as Capture the Flag is the signature mode of the Battlefield franchise and has been featured in every Battlefield game. Players split into two opposing teams with the goal of killing enemies and capturing strongholds on the map. In the game the flagpole represents the location of the stronghold while the colour and pattern of the flag represents the side in control. The side with the most strongholds can cause the other side to respawn less often. Both sides start out with a certain number of respawn points. Each time a player dies and respawns the respawn points are reduced by one. When a side's respawn points are reduced to zero or all of the side's strongholds are captured or all of the side's players die and refuse to respawn that side loses the game.
In some Battlefield games a player can use a medic's taser to respawn a badly wounded teammate to avoid the reduction in respawn points. A critically wounded teammate will die after a few seconds on the ground and can choose to respawn which will reduce his respawn points by one.
