I have ~300kbs down and ~70kbs up. About how many people would I be able to have in a game that I host?

And as Goztow said, that's not much more than a 56k connection. Your download doesn't really matter when you host a game server, it's your upload that counts. Which in this case is pretty lackluster.

Well... I was playing in the TK2 server earlier today and I was recieving over 100kbps of traffic from the server. That was just traffic for me, a single player. Taking into consideration the TK2 server is likely setup with a high net update rate and the extra overhead of running scripts.dll 3.4.4 on the server I would guess a minimum upload per player of about 40-50kbps... which means you can host a 1 player server on that upload.... 2 players if one of the two players is yourself on a LAN connection.

Sniping requires less bandwith as there's no tanks. Every action in the game that's going on requires bandwith as this action needs to be communicated to the server and to the other players. Less action = less needed bandwith. Sniping requires very little action. For anything else, you really shouldn't bother.
