found a small thread on reddit which posed the same questions [0]. it looks like the above comment hit it on the head; mostly client side with server just handling messages. looks like it didnt scale well either.

It scaled very well as long as you didn't have any hackers in your region. I remember having battles with well over 500 players and very little lag.

Perhaps that is the compromise, but that also feels like an oversimplification of the challenge, and I'm happy with the in-game results.
