Here is the default skill file for maps which do not have per-map skill files. We can change these values to whatever we want. I was thinking of doubling or tripling the values to start, and we can adjust the settings for other maps manually which do not use this configuration:
(Remember, you guys can help me figure this out, and if you do help me this will probably go a lot faster to get it the way we want. For now, I will probably try doubling the values to see what everyone thinks, and if it still isn't hard enough we can try tripling the values.)

mp_disable_pcbalancing 0
and this:
Code:
//======================================================================//
// Allows you to specify what damage multiplier to apply to damage //
// inflicted on monsters based on the amount of players currently on //
// the map. For example, "1.0;1.5;1.2;1.0;0.8" would give a multiplier //

// four and 0.8 for five or more players. //

// If this CVar is empty (""), a default of "1.0;1.8;1.4;1.2;1.1;1.0" //
