Help me find an old Sven Co-op campaign/mod from the early 2000s

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to identify an old Half-Life / Sven Co-op mod or campaign that I played more than 20 years ago, and I'm hoping someone here remembers it.

What I remember:

- It was a cooperative first-person mod.
- It had a sci-fi setting, not medieval or fantasy.
- At the start of the game, you could choose from several passive abilities/perks (its not Desert Crisis).
-You could also choose different weapons.
- One of the melee weapons was a large hammer that could create a shockwave when hitting the ground. Another weapon was a pair of dual chainsaws (one in each hand).
- There were long green monsters that would chase players, my friends use to call them "green fingers".

This was probably around 2002–2005, I've been trying to find it for years without success. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Was it a Sven Co-op campaign, a standalone Half-Life mod, or maybe a custom server with unique weapons?

The dual chainsaws and the shockwave hammer are the details I remember most clearly... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

To me it sounds like Syndicate Black Ops.

I'm not sure but I think it was made by the same people who did E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy for the source engine later.

I love you, man, I just love you.

How can you remember something from 20 years ago with such a vague description? Amazing!

That game has been on my mind for years, and I could never find it by Googling it! I'm forever grateful, I swear.
