What is SBO?

Syndicate Black Ops is a Half-Life 1 modification made by early Streum On Studio that shares the universe with E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy! It's a co-op/pvp cyberpunk mod, known for its brutal difficulty and extreme levels of fun acquired in spite of it!

Want to see/hear more about it? Need more of an audio-visual aid? That's just a-OK! Here's a great video showing off Syndicate Black Ops by one and only Telopots!

What do I need to play SBO?

You'll need a few things!

• Copy of Half-Life (25th Anniversary edition)
• Syndicate Black Ops mod (also available on ModDB)
• Mr. Calvin's MOTD crash fix (also available on Gamebanana)
• Mr. Calvin's Zombie Grunt Crash fix (not essential but prevents certain crashes)

Here's a short introduction in a video form! It's a little outdated due to the patches above not being mentioned but it covers the installation and basics for the gameplay (plus setup for the editor if you'd be interested in making maps for SBO :D!)
