I suspect we will still have control over the various elements of this, but I myself plan to shoot for 32 slot. Also, the init declaration of -maxplayers 32 won't necessarily mean >6 players can connect in MvM. I suspect the mode will have another CVAR to limit specifically the humans (unverified).
