Collaborate is an upcoming [[Half-Life 2]] multiplayer teamplay mod. Team Red and Blue have both an objective. Both have a commander. Both commanders can spawn NPCs and control them. Both teams want to complete the objective. Both teams want to stop the other. Which team will win?

Both commanders can spawn NPCs but the NPCs will attack every player they see. They need to be spawned at tactical places and times to hinder the other team but not your own team. To win the game and finish the objectives, teamplay is required.
