if BOP was PS3 exclusive only...

The problem is that devs may alienate Arcade owners by going over the 64mb as they may not have a hard drive or larger card. That could be the reason DICE didn't add it in. At the same time 1943 or the BFBC2 beta didn't have clan support so it maybe a moot point.

Well i dunno about ps3 but on the live marketplace Conquest was a DLC download, not a forced patch, seperate to and distinct from the players map pack and forced Title Update/Patch. The conquest mode is 80Mb so that may have been slighly too big for TU but at that size i'm suprised sony would have it as a forced download.

Alas the whole clan issue is moot though as its a design choice they made and are obviously planning on sticking with.
