Sven Co-op Map Reviews

        Welcome to Cardopoc- Carpacad- Carpocu- to this map, which is mostly Black Mesa themed. There's some story about this map being made specifically for one person then somehow finding its way into the internet's consciousness and then getting unceremoniously dumped in Sven because Sven needs more chaff I guess.

There's some beautiful brushwork, some fun fire fights, and a lot of variety.      First, and most pressingly, let me s...

Apparently this was made in a weekend for the author's dad, awwww.      The map definitely seems like it was largely just dumped into Sven and left to fend for itself. Survival mode i...

       Welcome to the Nuclear Power Plant, a short mod for the original Half-Life from the ancient year of 1999 ported to Sven Co-op in the modern age. As the name implies, it is a nuclear power plant, and since this is a shooting game, we get to fight in the power plant.

There's a bit where a spinning piece of ma...

There are two buttons, one opens the cage for the HEV suit on the right and the other button seems nonfunctional, I could not open the cage on the left. Anyway, we opened the cage on the right, lured in the barney, closed the cage, and I think that alone is going to boost the score for this map.  ...
