The
Sven Co-op Website has the promised
details about plans for their upcoming cooperative multiplayer modification for
Half-Life 2. They describe how the initial releases will concentrate on the
basics of getting multiplayer running on Half-Life 2, with new monsters,
weapons, and maps to wait for subsequent releases. They also go into a bit of
detail about how player counts will be limited for the single-player maps, an
optional mapper-defined class system, and a new flexible lives system that will
add more of a challenge than the original Sven Co-op.
