NS2 Combatmod server is unplayable over 18-20 players

I think your now referring to the pub server as no one was in the combat server during these times...

Eh? No it was most certainly the server with "CombatMod" in the title and it was indeed running combat mod. Perhaps my post was a few minutes later than when I was playing, and it emptied out? That tends to happen when it starts lagging so badly, everyone bails out and finds another server.
