[quote]About the Mod
Synergy is the Half-Life 2 cooperative modification that enables you to play with others through Half-Life 2 and it's episodes (Episode 1 and 2), as well as our own levels.
You may also install other third-party mods, such as MINERVA: Metastasis and ROCK 24, to also play them cooperatively with other players.
Synergy tries to maintain the true Half-Life 2 gameplay, while still adding in our own unique ideas.

So, that preety much sums everything about this mod. I really hope this thread will last atleast for 2 days before getting locked.
to be honest, synergy is boring as hell.
Well, I didnt play it before it went orange box, but I think its still a cool game. Atleast it has no anime playermodels, like some other coop mods
It's quite good but it goes wrong a lot and the server crashes
I love it, but recently it's quite abandoned. :(
Every time I play, for some reason I spawn [I]just[/I] as the other people reach the end of the level. Whenever I play on a populated server it becomes a race to the finish and I can't enjoy HL2 as I would simply by playing with friends.
Though watching every single person in the server, including me, fall to their deaths in that big pit at the end of Ravenholm was probably my favorite part of the whole game.
It's an OLD and sucky MOD!
My friend started hosting a 4man server. Bloody well fun if you ask me. Especially when something funny happens ex. accidently ramming the jalopy into your friend and gibbing him. :v:
what did synergy lose with the OB update?
I just got HL:2 and all the episodes, so I would like to play through in co-op. Too bad I hear synergy is buggy as hell :frown:
[QUOTE=Foda;17962836]what did synergy lose with the OB update?[/QUOTE]
Everything.
its kinda fun but theres a few major glitches like, The buggys, they slide like ice. And the scripts ALWAYS fucks up so you have to find a new server like 3 tiems per hour. But its fun to race them newbs
Anyone noticed how if you die or noclip in the scene where Breen says "i was almost certain it was..Gordon freeman" after you teleport that he goes in the most awkard spinal positions
Shit mod...

You can have fun in it, even when it's badly optimized.

Greeman, come in this thread and tell them not to reply to it if they dont like the mod, like you did in the OC thread
[QUOTE=DigitalySane;17986575]Shit mod...[/QUOTE]
Cool, you just insulted the entire HL saga, since it has no custom content and is faithful to the SP experience.

8D
Cube stop being so bitter.
Ya I play the 'Other one' Never played Synergy, though perhaps one day, just to check out those multi passenger vehicles.
Synergy doesnt have multi-passenger vehicles. A new vehile spawns every time the old one is taken
[QUOTE=Hell-met;17991140]Cool, you just insulted the entire HL saga, since it has no custom content and is faithful to the SP experience.[/QUOTE]
No I said mod, I didn't insult the fact that it contains half life 2 SP in it.
[QUOTE=Hell-met;17991140]Cool, you just insulted the entire HL saga, since it has no custom content and is faithful to the SP experience.[/QUOTE]
So if I insult Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, I must be insulting the HL Saga. Seeing as it has no custom content and is faithful to the SP experience since it sticks with the story of rebels fighting combine!
[QUOTE=LoserMan255;18006025]Synergy doesnt have multi-passenger vehicles. A new vehile spawns every time the old one is taken[/QUOTE]
Oh, I thought they had? Are you sure?
And as for Hell-met, he's just a purist (always was), he's alright.
Though I wish he'd get his head around the idea of what optional content is, and the fact that if he dosn't download any, he won't see any.

Half-life isn't saga its Sci-fi
[QUOTE=Keychain;18008066]So if I insult Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, I must be insulting the HL Saga. Seeing as it has no custom content and is faithful to the SP experience since it sticks with the story of rebels fighting combine![/QUOTE]
Yeah, you would.
Point?
No I wouldn't. It's the gameplay that counts. The "HL Saga" reverts around singleplayer strategy and puzzles. Synergy reverts around co-op and puzzles. HL2:DM reverts around deathmatch, maybe co-op when it comes to teams.
Some people don't like Synergy for that. Some people don't prefer to play the original HL Saga in co-op because they prefer it in it's original singleplayer state, so if anything, they're complimenting the saga by disliking Synergy.
I dislike HL2:DM, but I love and have no unkind words for HL2 itself. I dislike DM because it's constant .357 or RPG to the face, it's either easy or extremely hard.
Sure, it's FAITHFUL to the singleplayer experience, but it isn't the singleplayer experience.
First off, it was good until they took out the custom weapons.
Then, when it went OB, it just felt like a somewhat minor mod to HL2DM.
It used to have fancy features and quite a few custom maps, but why they took all that out with OB, I'll never know.
Second, HL2, Ep. 1, and Ep. 2 SP was all you could play with the OB version, last time I checked.
I remember the syn_trials map series from old Synergy.
If the old maps where so cool, why not port them? Did they remove entities or something that makes the maps unplayable? I like the concept but there are no good servers (or so few hard to find).
Hey guys, there's this great new mod! Let me tell you about it!
It's called Sven Coop!
What is this....? Seven coop? I can eat it?
Synergy is pretty fun when you're playing friends, although yeah normally it's boring as fuck.

It's awesome, but again needs cool people to play with. Regular servers are boring at most.
