I don't think this game has enough of a dedicated/interested PvP playerbase to support an open world PvP area, unless it was cross-server (which it doesn't sound like it is). Perhaps they realized this and changed it to a 24-man battleground type thing?

I honestly don't know how I'd feel about that. On one hand the large-scale open world Frontlines system did sound kinda cool and it would be unfortunate if it was scrapped but on the other hand I just don't see how this game could support it. The place would be deserted 90% of the time, certainly it'll be nowhere near the population of GW2's WvW. And some objective-based battlegrounds would be a very nice change of pace from the stupid 4v4 arenas we have now.
