[cod] 2 players - same GUID

[Mavrick]

You can fill a server with say 20 players if you're all on the same 
network at home, same IP address and same CDKey. You can't have the same 
CDKey from different IP's in the same game server unless it was a 
cracked server.

That's all I know on the subject, or maybe punkbuster wasn't enabled 
properly on your server?
