Reviews - Obsidian Conflict Mod for Half-Life 2

Nov 20th, 2010 6 people agree 0 people don't

This mod is the best coop mod for Half-Life on the planet.
If this would have SteamWorks (Cloud, Achievements,...) and more updates (like more maps, bug fixes, updates,...) it would be better than a 10/10, then it would deserve a 100/10.

Nice option, almost perfect co-op mod and with a lot more options than Synergy. You should try it. :D

So I played Obsidian Conflict...
Well, I expected a coop-mod and that's what I've got, but didn't expect it to be THIS good.
My first impression was bad, because there was no server with a good ping back then. However, as soon as there was one I played it for hours...and hours...and hours.
Gameplay: Great. I got what I expected and even more.
Maps: This mod got them all. The realistic ones, the funny ones, the strange ones and the ones you already know from other games. (My personal favourite is called "oc_manor").

However, this mod is by no means perfect.
The two mayor aspects that let me down were these:
1. The quality of the content is everything but constant. You have high-quality contents, medium-quality contents and low-quality contents. The point is that this applies to literally everything in this mod (maps, weapons, skins, models,...). Sometimes you have different "levels of quality" in one map. This should really be adressed for the Steam-release. I think they should overhaul the maps, what wouldn't be much work for the small, fun-maps but a hell lot of work for the bigger ones.
2. The player-models. I think it's OK to let players choose as who they play, but as long as there is the possibility to choose whatever you want there always be people that will choose strange player-models. All I want to say is this: When you play a realisticly-styled map it just plain sucks to see some animie-fan's ruining the atmosphere. I don't want the dev's to restrict it, but why not making it like this:
The mappers add the models to their maps and the player can choose from one of these. This way you would have fitting models to the map, e.g. play as Star Wars character on a Star Wars map, play as Halo character on a Halo map, play as animie character on an animie map,...

To sum it up:
Just give it a try. Go play and have fun!
But, don't forget to install and mount the other games that are supported in the mods options.

best coop mod for half life 2 in my opinion the only big problem is that it lack servers right now it got around 15 servers online...i guess the lack of servers is due to the fact that not many people know about this mod since when you search for hl2 coop mods the first mod you will find is synergy,i am not saying synergy is bad i am just saying that i think obsidian conflict is better for many reasons so i give OC a 10/10 score!!! hope the devs make a official steam version soon

Obsidian conflict in my opinion is a beatiful mod, full of heart-racing action, beautiful cinematics, friendly players, and kick-*** maps. This game deserves an 11/10, for it's massive amount of re-playability, innovative map design, and it's quickly growing content.

The idea behind this mod is nice, as it brings the awesome gameplay of Sven-Coop to the source engine. The only prblems are, that the netcode seems to be bad, as there are often lags, the player are worse than rude. Also the number of servers is mostly >6, and the number of players is rough the double size of this. The levels also often lack a clear level design, sometimes out of the boringness of not knowing what to do player leave/being kicked for amusement.

+ many maps
+ different gameplay

-netcode
-number of servers/players
-bugs
-bad behaviour
