I didn't just blindly vote here, I'll give you some main reasons why War's PvP is better:
1) Everyone isnt' wearing the same damn armor using the same damn weapons clicking the left mouse button over and over for a kill.
2) War's PvP is more skill based, in Darkfall you simply see or get 3-4 people to gank a single person then try to revel in the glory.
When Darkfall adds some more skill to actually killing people, we can all gather here comparing the two. Until then, that 50% Darkfall has are either 1) fanboys, or 2) People who haven't played both.
Depends what you like. Warhammer is going out and playing football, or any other team sport, except on a bigger scale. Darkfall is walking around getting your ass handed to you by anyone, anywhere, and then having to make friends in order to survive.
Warhammer has RvR. Sorry if running around spamming the left mouse button is more your style, I prefer the "oh so easymode" skill system where you have to pay attention to position, cooldowns, what kind of damage so it is not mitigated, etc., etc.
Yeah skill based ftw! God forbid you use your brain while fighting.

Create new character in WAR, level it up to lvl 5 (that's probably state most of beta testers achieved) and start PvP. Then get back here and tell us what you think about PvP skill in WAR with 3 spells avaible..

So in DFO you don't have to worry about hitting or getting hit by your teammates, cooldowns on spells or potions, actually hitting the target you are aiming at instead of the game auto-aiming for you, have I left anything out? Oh you have to watch your stamina. So DFO is just click click click I understand your position now.
WTF a poll who is better one is total freedom a free for all full loot pvp in huge world without savezones instance.
Other WAR is themepark SUPER CAREBEAR without any risk:p
TAKE YOUR PICK.
Darkfall win easyly if yoyr saying your a true pvper.
Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009..... In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.

Obviously you haven't played Darkfall. Your character is a nub at the begining....you have to take time to skill them up. You aren't given everything to you on a silver platter. WoW really has pussified the gaming community hasn't it? DAoC had RvR and it was awesome. You were forced into it if you went out of your kingdom. Warhammer has RvR which is optional and all around fail.

Which is another reason many here are saying WAR's is better. They don't force it on you, and its not a huge feature...yet its better then a game that has its main focus as PvP.
Warhammer tried to hard to please. Was a post not long ago that players didn't know what was good for them and i agree. There for i am going to try Darkfall when i get the chans.

This is a rather accurate comparison. And even then, Darkfall's combat was significantly more complex than most people realized. They sucked at it, but their opponents did too: only a few people really figured things out during beta, and until there are examples to follow, the majority will do the obvious (spam-click and sprint).
Once a reasonable portion of the player base understands how to manage stamina, when/why not to run, how good blocking is, etc., it won't look so bland. Once a meaningful number of people have unlocked the higher spell schools, you'll have the damage type vs. armor type dynamic as well.

From what I saw yesterday on that live stream of the game there is no question WAR is better. Why? Simple, you can ACTUALLY PVP! WAR blew chaff in many areas but I never ever had to worry about rubberbanding or out of sync combat. I did see "ghosts" from time to time but never a PC, only the odd mob.
Watching that live stream was frankly painful, he was getting hit by stuff he never saw, was chasing another player and even though right behind him, failed to strike the enemy even though he WAS RIGHT BEHIND HIM! Pretty lame atm, I hope for the fans sake they fix this stuff, its the single biggest game killer I can imagine.

Well it was slated as a PvP game and it failed....WoW actually was, and I hate to say it, better than Warhammer if you played on a PvP server. It had the perfect balance of PvE and PVP up until DF. Warhammer failed to deliever a fun experience in any situation. PvE was the same old thing, PvP was an imbalanced waste of time, and end game content was lack luster at best.

ENOUGH TIME to know warhammer open pvp is one big zerg rolling from keep to keep

Having played beta for both and the release of War for a few months I would say DFO has the better PvP.
No comparison Warhammer has no pvp.

lol.. funny comparing the two.. Theres no way warhammer can compare to darkfall's pvp.

I lol @ ;you, your stupid ROFL.
Darkfall takes no skill? Just mash left click? LOL? The people you fight are currently moving, and it DOES take skill.
Warhammer failed, everyone thought it was going to be so great, look at it now, everybody says it fails, cause it does!
Where is "neither"?
Also they are both very different from what I can gauge.

WoW: Psudo PvP
Warhammer: RvR
Darkfall: PvP
PvP > RvR > Psudo PvP

no... war force you to do RvR! that's different..
and for what? so in 2 hours this keep is going to be enemy again? no sence of progression, no danger, no ambition --> no skill.
Could attract only the weak...
