Hands-on Demonstration Reveals First Look at New Multiplayer Modes, Characters, and Vehicles

Blizzard Entertainment showcased the highly anticipated player-vs.-player (PvP) Battlegrounds, the latest addition to its subscription-based massively multiplayer online game, World of Warcraft. Featuring distinctly different map designs and game objectives, the first two PvP Battlegrounds will provide both veteran and casual World of Warcraft players with an entirely new level of competitive gameplay. "The war between the Horde and the Alliance has always been a core component of the Warcraft universe, so we're excited that players can now take part in this conflict on an epic scale." said Mike Morhaime, president of Blizzard Entertainment, "We're eager to hear what players think of all the new PvP content, and we're looking forward to adding even more in the months ahead." The two Battlegrounds shown at E3 were Alterac Valley and Warsong Gulch. Alterac Valley is a hotly contested zone where up to 80 players can battle against each other for complete domination, earning honor points and rewards along the way. World of Warcraft's Honor Point System provides players with a unique means of character progression whereby they can attain higher ranks, along with prestigious weapons, armor, and mounts, as they earn honor for their faction. In Warsong Gulch, a specially designed capture-the-flag Battleground, up to 20 players can engage in quick battles, usually resolved in fewer than 30 minutes. Also providing players with a means to earn honor points and special rewards, these battles pack exciting action and PvP gameplay into a visually stunning mini-zone.
