Game too hard?

[WildChild]

I have beaten Half-Life 2 and all episodes on hard difficulity and now started to play coop with a friend because he never finished the game. Synergy is so hard we cant beat it. More enemies spawn and kill me in 3-4 shots, it takes 2 mags of smg to kill 1 npc like wtf?? Half life 2 on hard is easier than Synergy on easy. Idk if this is a bug but its impossible. NPC's are rushing too much, deal too much dmg and dont take any, revolver takes 4 hits in torso...

It has become significally hard after some steampipe update, but still beatable. You might want to adjust body part hits/damage values in skill_mod.cfg.

can i find like a guide or something about this?

Most of cvars starting with sk_ here (with brief description). Rest of them are available by typing "find sk_" in the game console. It should be self explanatory.

Add the ones you think that are need to be changed into skill_mod.cfg and restart your server.

Synergy was designed with 4+ players at a time in mind, it's extremely difficult with only 2 or so players because of it. I mean I can (sometimes) manage to play through some levels solo, but it is quite difficult.

I will say certain servers have maps that are virtually impossible to defeat with anything less than 4 players BUT there are servers who have provided additional weapons, increased ammo capacity and even (like on our server) custom weapons options that you can vote to turn on to help equal the odds for a smaller team.

On The Hive Clan Server it's "Pistol Explosions" you can vote for. This vote turns wimpy pistol rounds into high damage rounds the equivalent of say an RPG or smg grenade.

Play your campain on The Hive Clan Server, vote by saying !votes in text, choose "Pistol Explosions On? from the list and watch your 2 man team get buffed big time!

There's a difference between "too hard" and "too easy".

Those pistol explosions make it waay too easy. I think people would prefer a balance over things.

Thats why it's a votable option.

Admins on The Hive Clan Server agree with this statement, some months back we began eliminating certain vote options on maps, like pistols, gravity and double jump. Also put a serious limit on pistol round damage to Boss's, Antlion Guards, Heli's, combine ships etc....

So yea, not as easy now....
