There isn't going to be lag, one of the dev's explained how they are streaming the game and the way the connection runs, and apparently, the way they are running it means there will be no lag, apart from obviously when all 256 players meet up in the centre of the map, then it may lag (=
With a number like 256, sniping sounds like the best option so that's probably what I'm going to stick with. On second thought scratch that, just for kicks I think it'd be fun to just blitz out in the middle of a field with all these bullets whizzing past your head, seeing how far you can make it. I'm having fun just talking about how I'm going to play the game, can't wait for the real thing to come out.
