Well as there is a Player Vs Player aspect in the game, Blizzard have created Battlegrounds. These are areas where you can go specifically for plyer/player combat against the opposing faction. So far there are 2 Battlegrounds, Warsong Gultch and Alterac Valley. Warsong Gultch involves teams of 10, and quite simply it's capture the flag! The Alterac Valleyis MUCH larger, with 40 a-side and contains some mini quests to help your faction gain an advantage. The most similar thing I can descibe this as is probably that mode in Unreal Tourney 2K4 where you have to capture those nodes and keep control of them, advancing on the enemy as you go.

Basically they just add a far more fun way of gaining ranks (via honour points, gained from player kills). It will also make the ranking system faaar more competitive, with ace rewards for the top players
