Supersonic bullets make a crackling noise when close enough.
No weapons for the pilot of a transport chopper, but there will be rewards.
There will be lots of never before seen vehicles, some returning classics, and a TON of customization items.

Flag number varies between Conquest Small and Conquest Large. But is consistent across platforms.
Squad beacon goes away on respawn.
When the beacon is outdoors in the open you control the parachute.
