Why Mass PvP?

Personally I think its just the idea that your helping towards something huge (taking over a city or w/e) But other than that I dont know why I like it. Its always very laggy and zergish.

if the goal is to take over one target like a fort or city just one control point the mass pvp will just be bigger mob wins, mass pvp needs to have multiple goals to keep the zerg to a minimum if you ask me, having one main goal with a few half dozen control points that do not lock with hour long timers and you have to stay there and defend would spread out the battle to smaller more tactical game play.
when i played planet side the FPS mmo from SoE that is one thing i like about the game is a small team could run around and take over a tower to open up the main base the main team was assaulting, if i remember that right i could be off or thinking of a other game
That was organized chaos and it was absolutely beautiful. I really miss the noise and bloodshed on that scale.
Personally, I've NEVER enjoyed Mass PVP in any game. I've always enjoyed the smaller scale hunter->prey PVP (no, I don't mean ganking).

When the mass PVP is population-balanced (Planetside) it's frickin awesome and fun.
When it's not, it's lousy, predetermined, and not worth playing.

Like the DDay landing or many of the battles in WW2? I'd love to see a CoD:UO MMO with thousands of players per city sized map. Mass PVP can work depending on the games aesthetics. And sometimes it doesn't work.
