maxplayers is a server console variable that determines the maximum number of players that can join a game. It cannot be changed while a server is running.
The absolute player limit of Source is 255, though the number supported by most games is far lower. Usually the limit is 32.
Warning:In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, maxplayers is deprecated. Set it in gamemodes_server.txt.example or use the launch option -maxplayers_override <number> instead.
Usage
The engine can be put into single-player mode by setting maxplayers to 1 before a game starts. This bridges the normal client-server divide in several areas, eliminating latency and interpolation and opening backdoors like the one used by the inverse kinematics system.
The entity indices 1 to <maxplayers> are reserved for player entities (0 is worldspawn).
