Sven Co-op vs Half-Life (actually) 

I remember this game. I also remember that one dude in the multiplayer server with a Colgate toothpaste playermodel hitting me repeatedly with a crowbar saying that he's taking care of my teeth. Good times.

"To play Sven Co-Op, you need friends" *Well, time to buy the original Half Life then*

I still remember when the entire resonade cascade part is basically unbeatable because of the stuck cart in the test chamber. Took them long enough to realize that

"Sven Co-op is a cooperative game" some dude in the server with high HP start speedrunning and rocket jumping around the map

For the past 15 minutes I’ve been on a quest. A quest to figure out a question that is on everyone’s mind Who is Sven

in sven you can't shoot while reloading, and movement is slightly slower. barnacles stop you from being able to shoot so they completely screw you over if you do sven solo. the ai is way more aggressive and can detect you from further away. shotgunning things causes them to be launched. the aim feels much smoother. when multiple explosions occur it's *extremely* loud, and i love trolling my friends with that in the place where you first get the satchels. anyways these are just a few differences i don't think you covered that i have noticed after having quite a bit of experience with both versions.

you can still bring back normal hl weapons by either 1. Going to the main campaign portal and enabling classic mode or 2. Opening the voting menu and enabling classic mode. Note: not all maps work with classic mode, i say mainly use it for the half life campaign

Shocked you didn’t mention “classic mode”, a toggle you can turn on that seems to default everything back to the original game. If there’s a difference between Sven classic and half life, I can’t find it.

I don't know if you're aware but there is "classic mode" which I always use, it restores the old weapons and changes a bunch of stuff back.

note about playermodels: you can install your own but it only appears on your client unless (i think, not sure about this part) other people have the same model installed otherwise it just shows up as a HEV suit on the server, meaning only the preinstalled models will show up to everybody again don't quote me on "other people need the same model installed to see it" i'm not sure about that, never tested that

The running gag about having no friends made this 100% relatable and better than the first

4:15 In HL1, you can actually manually create the "valve_addon" folder and put maps, models, textures, etc... (except this time its doesnt need to be named before putting stuff in (unlike HL2), you just drop models, maps folder to valve_addon folder and done.) in there, it will also works. Same for CS 1.6 as "cstrike_addon" and so on, this feature was added at some point, but was forgotten by many as the game doesnt pack most of the valve folder as pak or vpk like the retail/WON or HL2 does, so they just simply installing it in old way and have to overwrite anything, and uninstalling requiring to reinstall/verify the whole game, and plus, with the valve_addon, you can enable/disable it in game settings

0:51 The game Counter-Strike Nexon: Studio actually uses GoldSRC still. That game was released in the late 00's, I think, and it still gets updated very frequently. Another interesting thing to mention is that has a dynamic light system, as well as a revamped HUD system (it's nothing like HL1 or 1.6). Especially when the games no longer play/look like HL1 anymore, it's kinda funny to try and see what remnants of HL1 is still present in the later CS games. (Kinda like how CSGO still uses HL2 props). Oh, and it has a (built in) map editor that works disturbingly close to minecraft.

I miss Toonrun. Honestly it was so weird and surreal and I never got to play the whole thing in one run so i had to piece together how it worked from several different runs. It was always an adventure to wind up on that map and very view captured that strange sort of magic of discovery for me.

Definitely digging this "new" video format!

In sven-coop the zombies turn faster and can't just run around, hitting him with the crowbar without stopping Vortigaunts can revive another vortigaunts Opposing force monsters are present The electrical and from Op now explodes and is a temporal items Gauss Rifle has higher cd for charge so when you play Sven-Coop in Deathmatch you can't be flying that much as in Half-Life 1 You can play in third person in Sven-Coop Maps can add different skins to guns (like in Resident-Evil 1 map)

I play Sven Co-op almost daily (except the last few months because of university) and I probably have more hours on Sven then I do on Half-Life. It is so much fun to play with friends or you can make friends even if you don't have any (but make sure you play on regulated servers otherwise you will see all kinds of people there). It also feels different so whenever I play normal Half-Life it feels so odd.

>you need friends Well thats that then

Sven Co-Op is basically a "free version" of Half-Life for those who have no balance on their Steam account. Honestly, SVC looks good tbh. It uses high-poly models although it's made from GoldSrc.

My favorite Sven Co-Op series was Newfz's where two guys played through Afraid of Monsters and the server Admin would occasionally troll and jumpscare them throughout.

As a hardcore Sven fan, no need to worry about knocking the interpretation of the HL1 campaign in our eyes. REAL Svenheads know the game isn't about HL1 co-op, it's about sc_tetris, afrikacorps, osprey, project guilty and other great community maps. HL1 is just the dressing on top :) Tor eat now.

Dude I'm so addicted to your channel, your videos are so funny! 😅 Keep up the good work!

The hallways are sometimes longer so parts of the connected levels don't overlap, since Valve made them separately.

really well edited video, keep 'em comin'

I've played Sven Co-op with friends like, twice, it was very fun.

Mapping for Sven also has far more options for making cool things, is more stable, and supports mp3 files for sounds in game.

I love your humour and montage, especially made me laugh at friends part :D

This actually popped in my recommendations about a week ago and since then I can't stop playing this game, I've been always a huge fan of big servers and chaos going around like the Left 4 Dead 2 20 people co-op servers and stuff, and this is truly a gold mine. The maps are amazing and incredibly well made, and people are so fun and welcoming, thank you very much for this :D

4:39 B O I

I like the part that he pauses the screen when the screen is paused

In the early 2000s it had a huge playerbase. It's not as popular as it used to be but they're doing some great stuff with Goldsrc engine. I hope Valve gives them full access to Op4 and Blue-shift as well to (the maps loading every 5 secs because you can finish them really fast with other people is not a fun thing to do, with HL they stitched entire chapters together due to higher engine limits)

This is a certified high-quality video (and editing)

Holy shit this was so entertaining to watch, keep up the dank work

I'm surprised this only has like 2k views, I honestly thought this was the usual top-tier stuff before I noticed it when you mentioned 100k views being alot.

This is everything without changing things in the game files: - Different HUD - Different HUD color - Can't save games (need to respawn / restart the entire level) - There's the survival on/off thing. That also appears on the screen, which takes away the seriousness of Half-Life - Your HEV points recharge faster - If you press J you get thirdperson and you can be a bunch of people, which takes away the seriousness of Half-Life - If you press C you get a lot of options, which takes away the seriousness of Half-Life - If you press X you'll screem "MEDIC!", which takes away the seriousness of Half-Life - Weapons and Ammo just stay in place and respawn, which takes away the seriousness of Half-Life - There is no text on the beginning of the game saying who you are and where you are There are surely a lot more that i forgot. The thing is, this doesn't make Sven Coop not great. It's really cool. But i don't think anyone should play Half-Life for the first time through Sven Coop. If you want to play Half-Life, play Half-Life...

Hella underrated lol, really like the content!

The editing and transitions are funny af man lmao

Personally, I recommend both Half-Life Vanilla and Sven Co-Op. They're both different takes on the same levels.

0:15 *this is a certified hood classic*

Bruh i love this guy. Subbed

At least I can see my server on this video ahaha Very good video too, I like it.

And youuuuu've just earned another subscriber

Best video on the channel so far.👏👏👏

To be honest, that old sven coop video you made was what introduced me to your channel, so i guess it did something.

Finally after 1 month new video

Oh man i love your video you make me laugh some times

4:29 Tome señora tome!!

lol bro ur so funny the yes+no=yo and the friends lopp which i dont have i laughed hard as hell keep up the good work tho ngl a very good and entertaining video

Almost 400k views on the video, good job

I love this new format

Very good video! :o

holy crap your production has really amped up in these videos lately

I saw a guy one while playing this game and his name was just "chad" and the only weapon that he used was the gold Uzi and if he didn't have it he wouldn't do shit....I still miss him sometimes

Nice video :D

The absolute best thing about this game for me is speedrunning it with friends. Been doing that on and off for more than 4 years now!)

damn B, I remember when your channel was so small... and now you are making views, and you're talking in the videos too... I really love the progress you made with the channel, hope you will reach 100k+ subscribers and more in the future :D

What I Like About The Sven Co op This Is The Mp5 Weapon That Has A Zoomable Scope Like The SG552 In Counter Strike, And Doesn't Have A Grenade Launcher Unlike In Half Life

damn nice video bro

This made me subscribe

lmao more videos like this please!

Nice comparison

The spirit of this man just made me want to speedrun life

makes me want to go back to sven coop, haven't played in years

Fact : sven coop developers are still updating the game and they shares the updates on discord

This game is dope. Should have thousands playing, at least; not hundreds. Good memories. I recall Toonrun; great aesthetic. Anyway, good video. Also, at 1:27, you had a typo. It's supposed to be "its" when making it possessive.

7:55 bruh i thought you had no friends

I love the enthusiasm in this alpha male voice, really good video

cool new redesign for your channel icon! I like the white backround more but its still good.

I actually never knew about this game, i was planning on playing co op with a modded version of half life, thank you.

my favorite channel took you long enough.

Ok, this dude has another energy of jokes, like he is completely depressed but still has the power to make us laugh. the thing is this is another type of comedy and it's wonderful. hey, man, I hope you're good. I'm a new subscriber here and I wish you all good :)

dude actually, this is man is underrated

not gonna lie toon run holds some pretty good memories for me, I'm pretty certain it's one of the first coop campaigns I played outside the original half life campaign and it's expansions.

First thing that comes to my mind when thinking of Sven Co-op? - PINGAS! Love this Mod since its release, can't believe it is that long ago they went standalone... I think knowing and loving Half Life is essential for most players to get used to Sven Co-op. The amount of maps and game modes is huge and it takes some time to find out which ones you like and which ones to quit asap... Whenever I come back there's new crazy s*** going on, making me laugh out loud in RL, that is for sure!

there's a classic mode in sven, where all the weapons, npcs and mechanics are the same as the original half life

Your humor is funny :D

I like this video. Minimalistic, but somehow managed to gave me a good laugh.

Sven: Half-Life but Multiplayer chaos.

0:48 this aged like milk Valve actually updated the engine in half life 1 LOL

good video man, not many people can pull through with making different videos from their ""normal"" content, you're nailing it!

7:05 Just two more things 1. One battery now gives you 25 suit armor 2. When you tab the game you can hear an echo behind it (I was really scared when that happend to me for the first time tbh)

4:32 that hallway can be explained I found this issue out myself when porting the half life source maps for a left 4 dead 2 campaign The sewage pipes in the map previous to the giant elevator overlap the giant elevator itself, so the only way you're going to hide the sewage pipes, sticking out of the wall, was to do a lot of brush trimming (like it did) or extend the hallway (like the sven devs did)

I didn't expect a peruvian server to appear so hearing "Habla potoroto" in the beginning made me spit out my water in front of my class XD

Nice vid

Well i think i will download this game just because you can play half-life campaign for free :) P.s your voice is so good

On the GoldSrc bit, Valve themselves last updated it in August 2020 which is a absolutely demential for such an old engine.thats what I love with companies like that, they make their products travel through time because legends never die. Also toonrun is my favorite sven coop campaign it was so funny we did it with a friend we were like wtf during the entire thing, and some enemies had hilarious names like the minigun dude called "Captain Ahab" wtf

There's one thing that makes a big difference... In Half-Life you can save.

HEY MAN, THAT AUDIO FROM THE BEGGINING IS IN SPANISH HAHAH. HABLA POTO ROTO!!

i only played sven about 3 times with the same person on the original campaign (it prob wont happen again since i left him to die to that alien grunt inside the glass in questionable ethics i didnt know they were so fast i swear)

Me gusto tu vídeo, esta piola

As far as the creating server aspect goes, that's true for every goldsrc, source and even quake game. They all are just running a local one player only server. You can see that in the console when the map is loading

Well thank you for that comparison. Very useful. Also can you do a video with Jolly Wangcore to confuse everyone.

this video made my day 😂

hey my man, i am loving ur videos about valve games, very unique stuff 👍🏼 can u please make some videos playing counter-strike conditiom zero deleted scenes? hugs from brazil

He really forgot to mention the best player model, th_gangster

On some servers the bouton to throw the crowbar also let's you either do the double shot or autoshots depending on which one already is on mouse, there's something going on under the hood with that shotgun.

you forgot about the Barnacles, which don't let you fire in Sven because that's how Barnacles are supposed to work (they dont let grunts shoot so it didnt make sense they let gordon shoot) and to accommodate this, changed secrets which required this mechanic

Pe le Tongue 0:00 - 04:29 it's the most fun with their music and their screams that's why he didn't stop playing sven coop

i remember playing a map in sven coop that was inside the original half life. It had a machine that generated and gibbed scientists with a chainsaw thingy. it also had a weird purple frog thing called "the beast" with like hundreds of thousands of health that took rockets like a champ.
