I have been playing on the test server so that i'd have an idea of how the battlegrounds are gonna work. So far the 10 v 10 small battleground seems to be the most bugged. Its played old school capture the flag. That being said the biggest bug is when a player has the flag and disconnects/drops/leaves the instance, the flag goes with them and the game can not continue. The small 10 v 10 battleground is located in between Ashenvale and the Barrens in Mor'Shan Rampart just before the border. If u did the horde children's week missions then u already know where this is. When the patch goes live be ready for long waits. I've been there along with what seems like a hunderd other Horde waiting to get in. U try to run into the instance and the server asks u what BG u want into. U can specify or tell it u want into the 1st avalable. I haven't tried it but i think if u go with a group already formed and all specify which BG u want to go into then the entire group can go in together. I guess i should try it. The large BG is north of TM in Hillsbrad just south of that NPC village Strahnbrad in the Alterac Mountains. This BG is really long. Some battles have lasted as long as 6 hours before either faction was able to win. If anyone played Battlefield 1949 or Vietnam u have an idea how this battleground is played. There are numerous graveyards, towers and outposts that either faction can take control of. The overall goal is to gain control of as many as possible en route to the opposing teams main base. Take out the main base and your faction wins. Try to go into the Battleground with 5 to 9 mission slots open as there are a few mission in the large BG to be picked up. So if u are 57, 58, 59 there is some xp to be gained in the large battleground along with Honor. As i play more and find out more things I'll post them for all to know.
