Sven Co-Op 3.0 Half-Life Mod Released 13
Thanks to the official Sven Co-Op page for their announcement that version 3.0 of their popular Half-Life modification has finally been released. According to the site: "Sporting over two hundred and fifty features and changes ranging from new physics and AI systems to the Improved Cockroach, 3.0 is the largest, most significant update in Sven Co-op's history." The mod is described as "a co-operative modification... you are not fighting against other players - they are your allies, and you need to work with them to overcome large numbers of AI-controlled enemies", and the download page includes multiple mirrors for the 127mb file, which will also "be officially available for download via the Steam network at a later date."

I played most of the day yesterday (the 24th) on both Steam and the regular servers. I found the Steam servers more robust and things like voice comm much clearer on Steam than the regular servers. There were some glitches (to be expected on the first day of a x.0 release) in the single player maps, but I tend to think fixing some of those might be something only Valve can do.
All in all it is well worth donating some money to support this mod. The electric crowbar and gilded uzi *will* get you noticed.
I'm really excited to see what Sven and Co will do with HL2...
