PS3 LAN Game Questions!

I'm considering throwing a PS3 LAN party for the hell of it, looking for some good games to play?

What is the maximum number of PS3's you can have linked for a LAN Game of CoD:MW? How many players per unit?

I do this at my place every 6 months and it's GREAT!

You can have up to 32 Ps3's connected via the LAN feature on CoD4. However, there is no lobby with the LAN option, so the host makes the game then everyone has to join directly into the game. Game ends, and you restart the process. Pretty lame. The way to fix this is to simply have your switch/hub connected to a router, which is connected to the internet, sign into the psn, and then have everyone meet in an online lobby then select Private Match. You can have up to 18 people in this lobby, so if you have the full 32 you guys just split up into 2 full lobbies.

The only downside is a limit of 1 player per console. It's only for CoD, but as long as you have a tv/monitor for every console (with plenty of consoles), you'll be fine. Ultimately though, as long as you have enough equipment, it is 10x better than splitscreening.
