Obsidian Conflict
Basics
Obsidian Conflict is, simply put, a Sven Co-op for Half-Life 2. You connect to a server and cooperate with often 6 or 8 other people to finish one of the many custom made levels. Well, that's the goal most of the time anyways, but there are often special maps with unique goals and features. For example, in one of these maps you go fishing on a large dock for random prizes in the ocean, and in another you place bets on two teams of NPCs and watch to see who wins. Obsidian adds many features and lots of content to go with the co-op setting, and even some weapons, such as the Tau Cannon from Half-Life 1 and a portable medkit used to heal teammates.

These are just random shots I got from around the forums.
  
  
The team
- Skidz: Mod leader, coder, and does many other jobs.
- Hyperjag: Coder and a couple other things.
OC could really use a modeler or texture artist that can UV map. Post on our forums if you're interested. Mapping is a community job, don't apply to be team mapper.
