Half Life 2: Episode 1/2 Co-Op mods?

[Unwritten Calender]

My brother and I are looking to play some coop mods for Half Life 2: Episode 1/2. (He doesn't have Half Life 2)
Any suggestions for us?

Obsidian Conflict or Synergy, take your pick

Id go with Synergy

Notice how I said Half Life 2: Episode 1/2 mods, not Half Life 2.

(He doesn't have Half Life 2)

Synergy works with the episodes. Wait what is he doing with the episodes in the first place if he doesn't even have hl2?

Um




Still Syngery or Obsidian Conflict

...wait what?  That's a pretty odd case to have Ep 1/2 and not HL2... but if they can't run without HL2 at all then I guess you're out of luck because those are the two most widely supported coop mods.  Or maybe the only ones.

Synergy works with the episodes.

Doesn't Synergy play through Half Life 2?
if he doesn't have HL2, can he still play it?

I'm not 100% sure if it will work, I can't give a definitive answer.  But it's worth trying.

Just because you can play HL2 on it, doesn't mean you can't play the Episodes as well

I guess so.
Do you just play through the Half Life 2 campaign, but cooperatively?
also, he only has ep 1 and 2 because I bought it for him during the sale, but didn't have enough for HL2.

It's basically like the whole game just coop modded.

Pretty much

but there's custom maps on both mods you can play as well, more so on Obsidian Conflict

Seems like you'd need HL2.
But we'll try.

They work on both HL2 and the episodes.  You can selectively enable/disable individual games in Synergy.
