But if you didn't know anything about Planetside 1, you could easily assume the same thing. In fact because the lattice restricted where you could attack, you could predict that the battle lines wouldn't move at all. And yet we saw plenty of movement. Sure there would be bottle neck battles that lasted a long time at bridges and Interlinks, but all in all, the battles flowed across the map.
With the new territory system it will be that much easier for the battle to flow since you arn't restricted in only being able to attack 1 base from 1 direction.

That way it works both ways and everyone can get what they want.

True, you could stage it at another base, but that isn't always safe. You are still open to attack. The foothold would give you a safe no-fire zone to form up. Lord knows forming a raid can be difficult enough already without OS's or bombing runs taking out your troops.
