What do you mean by rubbish to play? CPUs have gotten more powerful

should upgrade in order to play on bigger servers. Same goes to
server
operators, they need to host their games it on high end servers if
they
want more slots.

I'd say by far the biggest challenge would be solving the problem
that
adding more players makes the game complete rubbish to play.
You'd need a complete redesign of most of the game - weapon
attributes,
maps and so on.
In TF2's case 24 is pushing it (although I suppose trading and
sniping
have both been ways Valve have designed TF2 to get 9v9 or less, even
with
24 players on a server)
