You have to keep in mind that Valve sees all servers including LAN servers
and nomaster servers that are not seen on the internet.

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] A decrese of dod:s servers from 5025 to 1419
From http://www.sourcemod.net/stats.php?go=faq about tracking plugins and
mods.
*Q: Your numbers don't add up to GameMonitor/SteamPowered.com, why?*
A: SteamPowered.com's stats don't seem to match up to anything. The master
consistently returns very different information, so we're not sure exactly
what Valve is tracking. GameMonitor does not do cvar filtering like we do.
For example, the cvar amx_version has extra information in it.
Furthermore,
early versions of AMX Mod X used amx_version. We have a cvar value
filtering
system which lets these oddities fall through to the general stats safely.

GameMonitor reports for dod:s servers and players (as of noon PST today):

My Steam Client reports 1848 servers at the moment.
It's not at all unusual for clients to report fewer servers then there
actually are, many home routers are overloaded by the large number of UDP
packets that are transacted when you browse servers.
Setting your Steam internet connection speed properly will help this
(setting it too high will aggravate the problem).
Valve Stats page will always have the most accurate count (assuming the
page
is updating).

Day of Defeat: Source:
Players: 5,970
Servers: 2,494
Player Minutes this Month: 152.223 million

Maybe you were thinking about the total servers and players during the
free
weekend ... there were tons more online then.
