World of Warcraft : A Look at Battlegrounds

MMORPG.com World of Warcraft Correspondent Patrick Breeden writes this look at Battlegrounds in Blizzard's hit MMO.

Online games and raw chaos normally go hand in hand. Ever since the early days of DOOM for the PC and other various first-person shooters, there has been a chaotic nature to online gaming that players couldn't get enough of. As time went on, the evolution of online gaming brought about team-based variants such as Capture the Flag and Team Deathmatch. These variants have been such a huge success that they're now staples for more or less any first-person shooter or third-person shooter that one could buy for the PC or console. Rejoice, fellow console gamers! World of Warcraft has a similar variant of gameplay that I find addictive and possibly the most satisfying aspect of the game. Today we will have a "console to WoW" look at Battlegrounds.
