MAG supported up to 256 players on one map. You were still basicly fighting in 4 different 32 v 32 battles but still felt pretty big relative to anything else consoles offered fps wise.

PS1 or PS2 would bring modern consoles to their knees. If PS2 is to see console life it will undoubtedly be on the next gen consoles that are slated to hit in the next couple years. If theres any validity to leaked specs they are quite a bit beefier than their current iterations.
