Something we haven't mentioned before is the flexible lives system we have planned. one group defending a position, and the other attempting to rescue them before it's too late). This (optional) functionality will allow mapmakers to set up anything from simple player model or spawnpoint selectors to full TFC-like class systems (there might be a Hacker class who could break into enemy computer systems, for example) or whole game modes (such as an escort-the-VIP map, or maybe a map where the players are split into two groups. One of the features we mentioned last year is our mapper-defined class system. Higher player counts will be supported for cooperative maps. Partly in the interests of this - and also due to performance issues, balancing issues, and the fact that the maps were simply not designed with large player counts in mind - the maximum player count for HL2SP maps will likely be fairly low. 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.
