MOOOOOOOOOORTAAAAAL COOOOOOOOOMMBAAAAAAAT !!!!!!!!

Battlebgrounds

Its time for mortal combat. No fools not the game but the mortal sturgel of the Horde and the Alliance in the MMORPG World of Warcraft. I know I profesed my love for Everquest II a few weeks ago. While this game will always hold sway over my life in some form or another and I will, like Michel Corlione, allways be pulled back in by this games future forms I do play other mmo's. Right now the big one I am spending most of my time with is World of Warcraft or WoW. Battlegrounds is WoW's player verses player only combat areas. They curently have 2 such areas on epic 40 v 40 area for level 50-60 players. This area seems to me to be a immersive version or a player level version of their RTS Warcraft games. There are basses and tower with npc gaurds and will also some day have seige wepons for deployment agaist your riavals. I have not played this on yet for the simple reason of not having a lvl 50-60 character but I must say it is the drving force in reaching this lvl. I will however tell you that the samaller faster version of this game feature is Warsong Gultch. This is a classic capture the flag CTF map. Each side Horde and Alliance have there own starting base and then fight over control of the valley bassed on flag caps. I played this for the first time the other day and all I can say is wow. This has gone into my top 5 all time gaming moments and is #1 on my all time online gameing moments. I have played in alot of pvp and some larger scale pvp things but nothing that was orginized into purposeful pvp like this. It really gives the whole game of WoW a new depth that I have not seen in anyother mmo ever befor. This gives people the chance to compete against living thinking (maybe) people arond the world but then go back to simple questing and lvling for a diffrent kind of fun. I really feel this will help atract the people that are more of the hardcore first person shooter and rts fans out there that get most of their gaming rush from fighting against those live people.
