Conquest At Gamescom 2011 This time we will see the Jets

It was announced a week ago that Battlefield 3's Co-op mode would be revealed at Gamescom 2011, but conquest mode will be there too. According to a tweet made by KM Troedsson, the world will be seeing the first footage of conquest at this year's Gamescom in Germany (August 17 - 21.) Jets, which have not been seen since one of the first Battlefield 3 trailers will also be shown at the event. No details on what elements of conquest or what jets we'll be seeing at the event, but we're expecting Battlefield 3 to impress us once again.

Check this out BF3 multiplay video, with Jets
