Yes i do believe it was an April Fools joke :)
3.5 is well under way, and we have a lot in store for players once we release. In addition to the new game types, updated AI, and Team Deathmatch modes (now you can have clan play with monsters!), we have two unique weapons which were originally planned for Sven Co-op Half-Life 2:
Portable Headcrab
Suprise your teammates and friendly units with this portable Headcrab. Provides hours of fun, sneak up on them and give them a suprise! Side effects may include lacerations, blood loss and zombification.

Otis Summoning Device
Short on backup? Need some friendly units, fast? Pull out an Otis Summoning Device and watch those friendlys appear! Likely places to find Summoning Devices include- Cafeterias, Lockers, Lunchboxes, Security checkpoints.

In addition to Tor (The character that helps you in the svencoop maps - see below), another new monster is also making an appearance in version 3.5. Think you are safe indoors? Think again! First there was the baby garg, now there's a Miniature Apache! It might look like a remote control helicopter but it packs a sting! Usually flies in groups, can be found resting at night on powerlines. It uses complex AI routines to navigate the world and stays hidden when sneaking up on prey by checking for occlusion hulls in the world.

Well, have fun with 3.0 for now while we continue to work on 3.5. Sven has been away on holiday for the past 2 months in the Bahamas, using the donation money to pay his way. Sven Viking sends his thanks! If you would like to help us pay for more vacations, Click Here to support the mod!
