"Added a warning dialog that pops up to warn players joining games with more than the recommended number of players."
1. The server shows the max player count next to the number of players currently on the server. 2. The servers usually keep the "increased_maxplayers" tag when they have more than 24 players on the server. Players know how many players can be on the server when joining, they don't need yet another warning. The only thing that this may encourage is some malicious server ops to do the exact opposite of what they are doing now, show their servers as 23/24 when in fact they are 32/33. The warning would be far more useful if it warned about "impossible" servers, such as 34/36 etc servers, because those are actually somewhat malicious. -----Original Message----- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of DontWannaName!

Stupid and deceiving. Shame on those server ops.
