"What people like and what critics praise are rarely the same thing. 'Critic' is just another one of those unnecessary, overpaid, parasitic jobs that the human race has churned out so that clever slackers won't have to actually get a real job and possibly soil their hands." Sauron
The number of slots I believe is unlimited. However, it is up to the mission designer to decide how big is too big, accounting for client connection quality and host properties.
Perhaps the attached screen shot may help illustrate this. Please note the top right of the screen.

And thats about as many as your MP server can support. It goes without saying, I've not tested that many slots yet :p
Come to think of it, perhaps I should bring back out the old battlefield mission with 1800+ units ...
