MAG somehow managed to be a competitive FPS with 256 players back in 2008ish, its not an impossible battle.

I think MAG was using clever tricks. There were multiple “zones” per battle, and I think each of those zones was a separate instance with some coordination between.

to be fair you could apply the same tricks to any Battle Royale type game
