There are a lot of things you could call a battle between 1,158 people. "Confusing" springs to mind. Also, "messy". In the specific instance of the 1,158 person battle fought in Planetside 2 this last weekend, the more accurate adjective is "record breaking".
 
As reported earlier in the month, 24 January was the date Planetside 2 players opted to gather in an attempt to break the world record for the largest online first-person shooter battle. The aim was for 1,100 players. On the day, an extra 58 turned up—comfortably beating Man vs. Machine's record of 999 people.

    I have a hard time believing that is the record. I've been in fights on a few MMOs larger than that.

    It specifically says "FPS" though. There's probably a reason for that.

    I've seen some games with probably 100+ people on planet side and it was overwhelming when fighting for a big base. I can only imagine what it was like with 1k people playing... No thanks

    Do these servers tank when this goes on BTW? How is gameplay?

    here is a link to the battle that broke the record.
    It kinda reminds me of an real time strategy game looking from the commentators perspective.
