Synergy mod for Half-Life 2

An excellent and innovative idea. Glad to see that Co-Op is getting a lot of creative attention beyond your typical "everyone work together to kill monsters." Along that note, though... Are the monsters going to be powered in the same vein of Sven Co-Op (a lot of HP in order to force players to work together to get kills) or a swarming mentality, or just giving enemies tactical advantages in order to get players to work as a team? Personally, I hate the way Sven Co-Op just turns every monster into a hulking brute. I'd like to see an AI that is quite accurate with all weapons and attacks (not so much of the "spray and pray" and more of the "accurate enough to take more precise shots" so that a small group of NPC's could easily take down a single player, but a group of players would pose a much greater threat. Another interesting addition would be a tactical advantage modifier to the AI's accuracy where flanking, superior positioning, and number of allies vs. number of enemies could all affect how well the AI actually shoots. Of course, the latter of these is actually implemented in Front Line Force to a slightly lesser degree (your accuracy improves as you have more allies around you) but I've always wondered what it could do for a Co-Operative game like this.

The team co-operative gameplay works in which 2 teams at different points in a map need to work together in order to complete the map. Even though at different points in the map, they still technically need to help each other by completing a certain task. The players may see each other throughout the maps at times, but will never actually be together unless on the same team.

whats the diff betwin co-op and co-op teams? does co-op teams have more then one teams or something? so like 2 teams trying to finish the map first, and if they see each other they shot at the other team to eliminate the compatition?

Igziabeher: WTF??? :S

Volunteering to map for you guys, at least a couple of maps. Drop me a line at wompshmack@yahoo.com, and give me any info I would need to map for this mod. It looks pretty promising.
