The OP is talking about E3, though.
With regard to E3 specifically, if they do the same thing as GDC and have 50-100 players corralled in one area of the map, it will feel almost as impressive as launch day with maximum pops.
Just for the record, players don't have to be "trapped" in one area of the overall map, but just have a few designated spawn points in the middle of the action that sort of directs the fighting to one big hotspot.
