Republic and Imperial forces clash on the world of Alderaan over control of the planet's massive planetary defence cannon in this first detailed look at organised PVP in BioWare's SWTOR.
We've seen plenty of cooperative multiplayer footage from SWTOR, but the core of the story is the conflict between the Republic and Imperial forces, and that conflict comes to a head in the game's PVP Warzones.
Warzones are objective-based arena battlegrounds where both sides struggle to complete goals and win a particular scenario. In the case of Alderaan, the two forces struggle to take control of a weapon capable of wiping out an enemy fleet. Players attempt to deplete the shields of their enemies' transport ship, forcing a retreat. Teams need to work together to control the defence system's artillery in order to get the job done and emerge victorious.
Bioware will reveal more about the Warzone experience in the near future. For now, study this video and start formulating strategies.
