Some changes to the maps will be necessary in order for cooperative play to work smoothly, but we will strive to keep things as true to the original experience as we can (another thing that has been heavily requested). and anyway, this way you'll have something to play while waiting for multi-user vehicles/etc.Ĭooperative support for the Half-Life 2 single-player storyline is something that has been requested by a great many people, and as such, it is one of our priorities. Trying for too much at once would only delay things in the long run.
Features such as new monsters and weapons will be coming, but mostly in subsequent releases. Since the full Source SDK is now available, this might be a good time to let you all in on some of our plans for Sven Co-op 2.įirst of all, I should mention that we'll be focusing on the basics for the first release: Establishing smooth, fun cooperative gameplay, and allowing level designers to start working on co-op maps.
