Furthermore, a healthy modding scene has helped keep Sven Co-ops maps and missions fresh.Game – S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of PripyatBilled as a “free-play sandbox mod” for Call of Pripyat, the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl mod features 32 maps, some reworked level design, improved AI and customisable weather. Familiar Half-Life weapons, character and monsters star, however the difficulty has been ramped up to suit team play. In 2016, 17 years since inception – with hundreds of updates, tweaks and tinkerings along the way – Sven Co-op finally landed on Steam and has since accrued over 1.5 million players.Expect co-operative play where players band together against AI NPCs, and collectively solve puzzles as a team. In 1999 Sven Co-op shipped its first version 1.0 and while Fearon didn’t expect it to be played by anyone besides him and his mates, the Half-Life community celebrated its release. A number of entertaining game modes, loyal player-base and cartoon-like aesthetic keep things fresh, though, all of which has helped MTA operate for more than a decade with little sign of slowing down.Game – Half-LifeWhen Valve’s flagship sci-fi FPS Half-Life failed to ship with default cooperative support, Dan Fearon – otherwise known as Sven Viking – set about crafting his own co-op experience. While also supporting 2002’s GTA: Vice City, MTA’s popularity was cemented by its support for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – the game which Multi-Theft Auto is still based upon today.As, Multi-Theft Auto – rather strangely – appears to be getting more popular with each passing year, even against the acclaim of Grand Theft Auto 5’s far more sophisticated GTA: Online. You’ll spend long spells of DayZ hiding away away in the wilderness, safer, and all the better for it.Īrma 2’s DayZ mod proved so popular that it went standalone in 2013.Game – Grand Theft Auto: San AndreasMulti-Theft Auto began life as an online multiplayer component for 2001’s Grand Theft Auto 3, then named GTA 3: Alternative Multiplayer. Sure, the infected want nothing more than to tear you limb from limb and feast on your festering insides, but a heavy drought, harsh famine, and an ever-dwindling amount of resources means cohabiting hostile human survivors present as much danger as the mindless monsters do. Be it finely-tuned strategy or guns-blazing first-person shooting, and everything in between, you’re sure to find something that tickles your modification fancies here.Game – Arma 2A child of Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, DayZ is a brutal post-apocalyptic zombie survival mod that’s as much about isolation and solitude as it is about fighting hordes of the undead. I’ve gathered my favourites below, including a number of honourable mentions after the core lineup, which cover a wide range of genres. Due to their often exceptional standard, pulling this list together was a daunting task. Be it superficial tweaks, or highly ambitious overhauls, the work of creative hobbyists is often wonderful – and anything which is capable of breathing new life into our most treasured games is surely worth celebrating.Total conversion mods are arguably the most impressive of this remarkable bunch.
