Sven Co-op Released

Steam now offers the promised release of the new version of Sven Co-op, a standalone co-op Half-Life game, that's completely free, including a free co-op Half-Life campaign. This post has the news, and here's a complete description:
Sven Co-op is a co-operative game originally based around Valve Software's Half-Life. In this game players must work together against computer controlled enemies and solve puzzles as a team.

While Sven Co-op is similar to Half-Life with similar weapons, monsters, and characters, the difficulty has been increased to suit team play.

Sven Co-op's levels are set as missions and are generally separate from each other. Many missions span several maps and some are collected together in a series. The aim of most levels is to reach the end or to achieve an objective -- obtaining a high score is not essential to beat a level, it's just part of the fun.

You can play through the original Half-Life campaign in Sven Co-op even if you don't own Half-Life. Half-Life: Uplink is included, too. You can also install support for Opposing Force or Blue Shift if you own the original games, though the team is working on a better install method for the Steam version.

Over 1000 custom maps, many of which are basically small mods in themselves (competitive maps, tower defence maps, cartoon maps etc.), are also available.
Thanks for the info and work on this mod. I'll take the meaning "in Sven Co-op" as being a Coop game, unless told otherwise. Lighter

Strange, I don't see any mention of the original campaign. When I read the FAQ, it did mention Sven will never work with Source. That seems strange, but whatever it's his software.

What do you mean by original campaign?
As far as I know this is the original HL mod just able to run standalone without HL with Valve's blessing.
Another words start a Coop game of the original Half-Life campaign. Afaik, the way this works is, they have made several custom maps which run on Sven.

Edit: At least that's how it reads on their FAQ.
