MAG used a new server architecture to support online battles with up to 256 players, with users divided into eight-player squads, with four squads forming a platoon, and four platoons forming a company. Each squad was led by a player who has advanced through the game's ranking system. Character statistics and development also increased with frequent gameplay. The players assigned leadership positions were able to simultaneously direct the battle and participate directly in combat.
