There's usually one or two big Player vs. player servers with up to 120 guys playing, but other than that it's smaller scale stuff. Around 30 and below is pretty normal in coops. I get my "large scale event fix" in organized company at www.tacticalgamer.com/armed-assault, where they run a bi-weekly event with a normal turnout of over 50 people. That's about as much as the server can handle in coops because it also has to take care of AI. On normal nights at TG you can also have that kind of player numbers, but it's less organized because anyone can join while taking part in the events require you to sign up on the forums. The missions are normally complex enough that they have to be run organized or it'll fail miserably.
