Unfortunately the HL2MP game is hard-coded to a 16 player maximum, nothing we can do or change will allow any admin to increase this.
I ran a 40 player CSS server that was very smooth and everyone was pinging in the 30s-60s. My server is a Dual Xeon 3.33 and I have a 100Mb switch and a DS-3 worth of bandwidth. I understand that HL2MP is hard on hardware and bandwidth, but trust me it is not even in the same league as UT2004 ONS. I would just like for the Valve guys to let the Admins and their players decide if their favorite server can provide a quality game, with a given player load; the same way we have always done it. I know some CSS Servers are now running 64 players !!
