Sven Co-op

Overview

Sven Co-op offers the unique gameplay of single player Half-Life... but you can bring your friends with you. Together you can play the original missions or choose from over 200 custom maps & missions created specifically for SC. The current version 3.0 at one time allowed playing through most of the Half-Life single player (HLSP) maps. Many thanks to guardian for editing the single player maps. Recent Steam updates have affected the ability to do this. Some of the maps are buggy and others no longer automatically change to the next level. In September 2006, a 1Mb fix was released the SC3_HLSP_enabler. This fix allows a choice of easy or hard monsters, like the original svencoop30_hlsp_update (easy) and svencoop30full with HLSP support (hard). Although not an official fix. It is the best thing available today. With over 575 downloads in the first couple months. All those people cannot be completely wrong.

Comments by your evil twin at planethalflife refer to Sven Co-op as if it were the de facto standard of Half-Life cooperative multiplayer gaming article

An article by Norman Porter describes "true cooperative multiplayer" article

The single player maps are hot, people love the idea of replaying half-life with a friend.

It is ironic that the lead programmer says: “In general, we provide basic support for Single Player Co-op ...” Sniper
