Speaking of Opposing Force and Blue Shift, I mentioned before that you can play them in Sven-Coop, but you can only host them if you own the originals on Steam. The campaigns run the gamut from realistic military bases to nonsensical dreamscapes like Tetrisland. They even added a sniper rifle and an electrically-charged alt-fire to the crowbar. This is compounded by everybody carrying a medkit that lets you regenerate teammate’s health (or revive a dead teammate assuming their body wasn’t exploded) and the inclusion of Half-Life and Opposing Force weapons, meaning you can pull off mad strats with the Barnacle grappling hook or careen through the air with the Tau Cannon. For one, since Sven Coop is using Gordon Freeman as a base instead of the TFC Civilian, meaning everybody has 100 hp and 100 armor instead of just 50hp, so everybody is a bit less squishy.
The basic gameplay is identical to the fanmade Escape game mode from Team Fortress Classic, with a few changes that make Sven Coop a bit more versatile. It’s basic gameplay is pretty much “multiplayer Half-Life“ you and everyone on the server can play through the original game together, or take on Blue Shift, Opposing Force, or hundreds of fanmade standalone campaigns. But I just installed Sven Coop and discovered that it contains the original Half-Life playable in multiplayer! Completely for free, you can go enjoy Half-Life 1 right now! Create a private server for the intended solo experience, or go online for the PvE insanity!Īpparently Sven Coop joined Steam as a standalone free-to-play download in January 2016, after a long and healthy lifetime as a Half-Life mod since 1999. It was the first game I ever tried to mod (to varying degrees of success, though none of my attempts were ever released to the internet) and its artstyle and gameplay will forever hold a special place in my heart. It’s one of my favorite single-player games of all time, and I have hundreds of hours in in from various playthroughs. Yesterday I realized that I’m never playing the original Half-Life again.
