We actually played this portion of the game at the right time since ArenaNet on Sunday decided to allow combat between two teams of eight players each, rather than the normal four players. As with the co-op missions, you wait for a few second in an area while the server brings in enough players to start up the game. Our combat took place in a fairly large outdoor arena settings with multiple levels. The mode itself was a fairly standard team deathmatch between red and blue teams. Your character has an added cape with the team’s color in the game when it begins.
