The community has slowly dwindled over the years, but Sven Co-op still remains one of the mods with most custom content. Most notable is the They Hunger Coop project, which will be released some time after Silver. The Sven Co-op team has worked together with many HL1:SP mod developers to convert their maps to Sven Co-op. Sven Co-op also has a busy modeling and model conversion scene, and a group of these once went out to form the Half-Life Improvement Team, dedicated to improving models for all Half-Life games. Sven Co-op has a very active Mapping and Modeling community, as evidenced by the recently released map pack, The Big One 490 map ppack. There is also a small secret weapon included. Sven Co-op also includes some original weapons, namely a Medkit, Single and Akimbo Uzis and a Minigun. The new weapons included are the Barnacle, Pipewrench and M40a1 Sniper Rifle, from Half-Life: Opposing Force. The last two were originally supposed to be included in Half-Life, but were cut. Sven Co-op also includes three other monsters, namely the Baby Gargantua, the Robo Grunt and the Heavy Weapons Grunt. The new monsters included in the game are: The Pit Drone, Shock Trooper, Shockroach, Barney and Soldier Zombie, Baby and normal Voltigore, Gonome, Male Assassin including the Osprey, Otis, Cleansuit Scientist and the new Grunts, all from Half-Life: Opposing Force. Most of these come from the Half-Life Expansion Half-Life: Opposing Force, but have all been coded from scratch. Sven Co-op includes several new monsters and weapons. A medkit weapon that heals other players and allies.The ability for mappers to change the models and sounds of each monster and weapon.The ability for mappers to create friendly monsters and let players issue orders to them.In-Game Monster/Player Info System, that displays info about the monster or player you are looking at.Some of the most major features of the mod include: Map scenarios include settings set in Black Mesa, cartoony worlds, World War 2 in Africa, Fantasy-like maps and modern urban warfare set in the Middle East. The aim of most levels is to reach the end or to achieve an objective - obtaining a high score is not essential to beat a level, its just part of the fun.

Many missions span several maps, and some are collected together in a series. SC levels are set as missions and are generally separate from each other. The single-player campaign of Half-Life 1 is supported by Sven Co-op, but in a slightly altered form to create more challenge for multiplayer games.

Since Sven Co-op is heavily based on the original Half-Life, it is essential that you are at least familiar with Half-Life and its controls, and it is recommended that you have completed Half-Life's Hazard Course.
