<p><em>PlanetSide 2</em> is getting a new set of Battle Islands that will put two teams of 48 players up against one another in an attempt to emulate the series&#8217; live game, but with a small(er) area to fight it out in. The first of the new areas, Nexus, has recently been shown and advises players to &#8216;beware of ambushes in the frozen canyon, intense infantry action in the ice cave and fierce tank battles in the alpine forest.&#8217;</p>

<p>If you were worried about all the gear and weapons that can be found in the rest of the world, don&#8217;t worry, because they will be available in the Battle Islands as well. The Battle Islands will also be integrated into the PlanetSide 2 live game soon, as it prepares for the E-sports side of things.</p>
