Modes:

CONQUEST

Combat type: The definitive Battlefield mode – All-out vehicle warfare mixed with intense infantry action across land, air and sea
Designed for: 24 players (X360, PS3) / 64 players (Xbox One, PS4, PC)
Commander mode: Optional
Conquest is the quintessential Battlefield mode and includes all-out vehicle warfare across land, air and sea. Engage in dogfights with jets, lay waste to the battlefield with tanks, patrol the rivers in attack boats, and engage in intense infantry combat. With its vast maps and wide array of available vehicles, Conquest truly lets you play your way. THIS is Battlefield!

The goal is simple; capture flags, eliminate enemy soldiers, and bring the enemy’s ticket count down to zero. The best way to do that is to make sure you own a majority of the available flags on the map. To capture flags you must be within a specific range. The more flags your team controls the faster your enemies’ respawn tickets will reduce. But be advised, your enemy can capture your flags at any time, turning the table and putting you on the offensive. The first team to bleed their opponent’s respawn tickets to zero are the victors.

DOMINATION

Combat type: Fast-paced infantry variant of Conquest
Designed for: 20 players (all platforms)
Commander mode: No
Domination is an intense, infantry only game mode that made its debut in Battlefield 3: Close Quarters. While sharing many of the elements of Conquest (capturing flags, bleeding your enemies’ tickets to zero), Domination is tighter and more focused. You’ll never be far from a flag, which means you’ll be constantly on the move and constantly in the thick of the action.

In contrast to Conquest, capturing flags is much quicker in Domination, and the ticket count is lower than in Conquest. You also lose tickets more slowly if you own a minority of the bases. This means that every kill made in Domination means much more for the outcome of the entire match than it does in Conquest.

I think this needs to be a warning in the OP

Honestly though, who doesn't run 64 bit nowadays....

I know they have built in coms now but I'm assuming they will be shit

I need someone to make platoons for other platforms and i will add it here.
 
Been waiting on this for a while but think it's gonna put a strain on my gtx 570 with it's measly 1.25GB VRAM =(
 
Cool, I'll be giving it a go on PS3 on Oct. 4th. Bit of a shame that current gen can still only do 24 players, but I'll take the beta.
 
does the "preload date" only count for "premium/preorder/MOHguy" or does this mean i can preload the OPEN beta at the same time?
 
Only 64-bit executable? Doesn't affect me, but I can see why some might be dissapointed.

My PC is ready:

3570K @ 4.5
Tri-SLI 4GB 670s
1440p and 120Hz monitors setup

Kinda torn between 1440p and 120fps, but I'll probably stick to 120fps. Dat smoothness.
 
Gonna be interesting to see how the game runs with one gig under their recommended for the graphics. Wonder how bad Ultra will make the 1gig difference hurt.
