Fan Friday is Warzone Friday!

Lets Do this.... with Glow STICKS!

BioWare continues its Fan Friday run with a hug for all the PvP fans.  Featuring screen shots from all 3 of the initial warzones for the game.  It's one site for their major short movies giving you an overview of the zones.  It's a great preview for those that have wanted to learn more about the PvP aspects of this game.  However it does leave us wondering if BioWare plans to follow Blizzard with its warzones/battlegrounds approach. Will there be an arena for others to compete in?  1v1, 2v2, etc?

We look forward to more information from BioWare on this subject.

"Warzones in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ are instanced areas where Imperial and Republic forces battle each other in objective-based Player-vs-Player combat. Eight players from each side enter the Warzone and then compete to defeat other players and accomplish the mission they’ve been assigned."



And for those fans that just don't enjoy reading or just want a little extra - VOIDSTAR.  BioWare provided a very short movie showing off the last of the three revealed warzones.  It's a bust the next gate style warzone.  The Republic forces move through the ship trying to access the core while Imperial forces have to stop them.  What will be interesting is that BioWare have setup their PvP to be either Republic vs Republic or Empire vs Empire depending upon the queue.  So for the lore nuts - why would two Republic groups fight over it? Or you look at it for what it is.... a game.  And who cares? :)

What did you say about my Mom?
VOIDSTAR - How does it compare to the others?  For us its so so.  It's a great idea and we have seen it done in that other MMO but with more gates.  Right now we have more interest in the other two.  They seem very different then anything else we have played.  But we will give the Void its due when the game releases on the 20th.
