you can still bring back normal hl weapons by either 1. Going to the main campaign portal and enabling classic mode or 2. Opening the voting menu and enabling classic mode. Note: not all maps work with classic mode, i say mainly use it for the half life campaign

[@ninshu9073]

in sven you can't shoot while reloading, and movement is slightly slower. barnacles stop you from being able to shoot so they completely screw you over if you do sven solo. the ai is way more aggressive and can detect you from further away. shotgunning things causes them to be launched. the aim feels much smoother. when multiple explosions occur it's *extremely* loud, and i love trolling my friends with that in the place where you first get the satchels. anyways these are just a few differences i don't think you covered that i have noticed after having quite a bit of experience with both versions.

0:51 The game Counter-Strike Nexon: Studio actually uses GoldSRC still. That game was released in the late 00's, I think, and it still gets updated very frequently. Another interesting thing to mention is that has a dynamic light system, as well as a revamped HUD system (it's nothing like HL1 or 1.6). Especially when the games no longer play/look like HL1 anymore, it's kinda funny to try and see what remnants of HL1 is still present in the later CS games. (Kinda like how CSGO still uses HL2 props). Oh, and it has a (built in) map editor that works disturbingly close to minecraft.

4:15 In HL1, you can actually manually create the "valve_addon" folder and put maps, models, textures, etc... (except this time its doesnt need to be named before putting stuff in (unlike HL2), you just drop models, maps folder to valve_addon folder and done.) in there, it will also works. Same for CS 1.6 as "cstrike_addon" and so on, this feature was added at some point, but was forgotten by many as the game doesnt pack most of the valve folder as pak or vpk like the retail/WON or HL2 does, so they just simply installing it in old way and have to overwrite anything, and uninstalling requiring to reinstall/verify the whole game, and plus, with the valve_addon, you can enable/disable it in game settings

[@TMHedgehog]

I miss Toonrun. Honestly it was so weird and surreal and I never got to play the whole thing in one run so i had to piece together how it worked from several different runs. It was always an adventure to wind up on that map and very view captured that strange sort of magic of discovery for me.

[@doctornotprofessor]

note about playermodels: you can install your own but it only appears on your client unless (i think, not sure about this part) other people have the same model installed otherwise it just shows up as a HEV suit on the server, meaning only the preinstalled models will show up to everybody again don't quote me on "other people need the same model installed to see it" i'm not sure about that, never tested that

[@eternalabyss2343]

You are right, the only ones who can see your player model are the ones that have it installed as well.

[@GothPanda]

Can confirm. I played through with a few friends as a Vortigaunt in an HEV suit doing that.

[@mehmettekeli5706]

I play Sven Co-op almost daily (except the last few months because of university) and I probably have more hours on Sven then I do on Half-Life. It is so much fun to play with friends or you can make friends even if you don't have any (but make sure you play on regulated servers otherwise you will see all kinds of people there). It also feels different so whenever I play normal Half-Life it feels so odd.

[@SuperRaynet]

In sven-coop the zombies turn faster and can't just run around, hitting him with the crowbar without stopping Vortigaunts can revive another vortigaunts Opposing force monsters are present The electrical and from Op now explodes and is a temporal items Gauss Rifle has higher cd for charge so when you play Sven-Coop in Deathmatch you can't be flying that much as in Half-Life 1 You can play in third person in Sven-Coop Maps can add different skins to guns (like in Resident-Evil 1 map)

[@OMGWTFBBQ1902]

Sven Co-Op is basically a "free version" of Half-Life for those who have no balance on their Steam account. Honestly, SVC looks good tbh. It uses high-poly models although it's made from GoldSrc.

[@penguingalorigin6341]

The hallways are sometimes longer so parts of the connected levels don't overlap, since Valve made them separately.

[@franessjoestar2793]

Mapping for Sven also has far more options for making cool things, is more stable, and supports mp3 files for sounds in game.

[@CaptPatrick01]

My favorite Sven Co-Op series was Newfz's where two guys played through Afraid of Monsters and the server Admin would occasionally troll and jumpscare them throughout.

[@KingPBJames]

There was a person named Cocyx who hosted an AOM server and would use his admin powers the same way. Even with 10+ players in the map we could still be scared. I managed to get a genuine scream of terror out of someone myself. I still laugh at the memory

[@aruan7sp]

In the early 2000s it had a huge playerbase. It's not as popular as it used to be but they're doing some great stuff with Goldsrc engine. I hope Valve gives them full access to Op4 and Blue-shift as well to (the maps loading every 5 secs because you can finish them really fast with other people is not a fun thing to do, with HL they stitched entire chapters together due to higher engine limits)

[@SVBOY]

opfor and bshift is actually owned by gearbox, sven team tried to reach them by emailing them with the requests of .rmf source maps but then well, it was just silence

As a hardcore Sven fan, no need to worry about knocking the interpretation of the HL1 campaign in our eyes. REAL Svenheads know the game isn't about HL1 co-op, it's about sc_tetris, afrikacorps, osprey, project guilty and other great community maps. HL1 is just the dressing on top :) Tor eat now.

This is everything without changing things in the game files: - Different HUD - Different HUD color - Can't save games (need to respawn / restart the entire level) - There's the survival on/off thing. That also appears on the screen, which takes away the seriousness of Half-Life - Your HEV points recharge faster - If you press J you get thirdperson and you can be a bunch of people, which takes away the seriousness of Half-Life - If you press C you get a lot of options, which takes away the seriousness of Half-Life - If you press X you'll screem "MEDIC!", which takes away the seriousness of Half-Life - Weapons and Ammo just stay in place and respawn, which takes away the seriousness of Half-Life - There is no text on the beginning of the game saying who you are and where you are There are surely a lot more that i forgot. The thing is, this doesn't make Sven Coop not great. It's really cool. But i don't think anyone should play Half-Life for the first time through Sven Coop. If you want to play Half-Life, play Half-Life...

First thing that comes to my mind when thinking of Sven Co-op? - PINGAS! Love this Mod since its release, can't believe it is that long ago they went standalone... I think knowing and loving Half Life is essential for most players to get used to Sven Co-op. The amount of maps and game modes is huge and it takes some time to find out which ones you like and which ones to quit asap... Whenever I come back there's new crazy s*** going on, making me laugh out loud in RL, that is for sure!

4:32 that hallway can be explained I found this issue out myself when porting the half life source maps for a left 4 dead 2 campaign The sewage pipes in the map previous to the giant elevator overlap the giant elevator itself, so the only way you're going to hide the sewage pipes, sticking out of the wall, was to do a lot of brush trimming (like it did) or extend the hallway (like the sven devs did)
