More of a little warning than a heads up (really just aimed at cheat users with no technical knowledge!)...if nobody has seen the warrock.net forum thread, BETA5 is now patched in. Would be a VERY good idea NOT to use your primary account (if cheating) until you make sure the cheats you are using are still undetected and/or working in BETA5!

Explanation of Conquest Mode
Conquest can be enabled on Urban Ops and Battle Group maps.
Each team begins with 999 points, and may capture flags as normal. However, if at any time a team is in possession of more flags than the other, the other team's points will begin to tick away. The more flags the team holds, the more points will tick away!
Known Issues
- Memory leak has been reduced but still occurs and is under investigation.
- Several map holes are not sealed in this patch, but have already been addressed and will be sealed in the next patch.
