While 256 players isn't possible on the X-box 360 (due to its low amount of memory) it could be possible on the next gen of conoles. If everyone had a gigabit connection, the x-box had a gigabit netork card, the x-box had more memory, and there were dedicated servers that people would connect to insted of connecting to the host's x-box, 256 vs 256 could become a reality that has lttle lag.
great idea in my oppinion. large games are always good. cant wait for mag, its going to be great ( i wish i could also play it with my friends on the x-box, but the ps3 has the memory and processing power needed to do 256 players. mag will not be groups of 8 v 8, though thats how the squads will work, it will be 256 people on the same map at the same time fighting each other, and im not sure that you have to stay with your squad anyway)
oh, and to all of you complaining of lag in games of over 24 people, this may be true on the x-box, but the pc and ps3 can pull off 60+ people with ease and in many cases, virtually lag free.
