Description
Resident Evil: Covert Operations (RE:CO or RECO), is an indirect follow-up to Resident Evil: The Awakening. Expect even more spine-chilling zombie-whacking action, story-centric gameplay, and creative use of monster-replacement. Plenty of in-game cut-scenes, too.
You are members of HCF's elite retrieval squadron. Your mission? To break into rival corporations, steal their research, and eliminate any witnesses.
A more detailed background story is displayed at the start of the map.
Additional info
- quakis has written a detailed walkthrough and review of RECO.
- This is a total conversion, meaning pretty much everything (weapons, npcs, textures, sounds) is fully customized for an authentic RE experience—the map even comes with 26 custom RE player models to choose from!
- RECO was the most downloaded map at Sven Co-op Central before the site closed, totaling 87,000+ downloads as of September 2011.
- Preceded by Resident Evil: The Awakening.
- Also available in the Resident Evil Map Pack.

In SC4.8 now, the square stone carving/statue that must be pushed up the wooden wedge onto a low plinth now gets stuck *in* the wedge and won't make it up onto the plinth, totally breaking the map.
It can be lifted onto the plinth with EntMod but otherwise it completely kills the map. Seen it on two different dedicated SC4.8 servers.
Also as pointed out in the walkthrough, the two "small goddess statues" (headcrabs) don't always trigger properly when 'placed', also breaking the map.
It may work properly in SC5, idk about that.
*Update 18/12/2016"*
I'm completing a mammoth ripent to fix all the problems encountered so far, plus a new small variation on the ending (as I can change only entities without the sources, and I have received no response from MrFranswa to date).
I will point out though that SCXPM totally breaks this map - the whole premise of the map is to discover and carefully manage your weapon and ammo resources; since SCXPM merrily dishes out free ammo every few seconds, half the map is destroyed and it just becomes an object-hunt for the items. Also SCXPM makes the combat ridiculously easy, so no strategy is required. This makes it great for noobs but ultimately unsatisfying. I'm building SCXPM difficulty balancing into my ripent currently, but really it's much better if you just play the map as intended on a vanilla non-xpm server.
did you ever finish the ripent?
Yes I did, all the previous bugs are fixed, tons of cleanup, coop/survival style ending, extra thingy to help defeat Archvile, some added env_sounds, a few airtanks in the drowning section, a way to kill the huge red gorger Ichy (that eats everyone).. and a dynamic variable skill system that sc5 made totally redundant. I asked the devs about the current sc5 skill system, but they either didn't know or didn't want to answer so it's needing some balancing still. Oh and it plays nicely with no xpm, the difficulty increases dramatically with xpm (otherwise it's stupidly easy). The ending is polished up a bit, as well. Remember it's just a ripent, no world-item or lighting changes, just entities. Entity count more than doubled from orig. map.
I'll get around to finishing it off (busy with work currently) then I'll post it as an alternate d/l.
I cannot wait until your fix is released. Thanks for taking the time and fixing RECO!

There are bug with gold emblem and identificator in sven coop 4.8 so please repair it. Bug - there aren't everywhere golden emblem I searching , and doing map with walkthrought and also in webs I search no only me have this bug, so waiting for fix :) Also I love this map ^^
I'm guessing that those resources weren't cached for some reason (bad RES edit?) as I've seen a similar thing on a public server where various items were missing from the map (pile of bodies, red ammo chest, stickygib for the wedge) which were all visible on my dedicated server when I installed the map correctly. <—- WRONG
*new info*
R4to0 pointed out an issue identified by Kalo where the bounding boxes for these items clashed with the wall geometry causing them to sink to the bottom of the map. R4to0 said that he applied the necessary fixes and updated the map link above.
I don't know if its just me and my brother, but we both on our machines have not working music!
As press the start button there should be a intro music, but we just hear crickets all the time, the whole map long.
I tried several things, but I came to the conclusion that this map's audio is broken in SC4.5.
Hope dies last, anyone there who has a working music?
Please update this so that the file ZOMBIE ATTACK! has no space…it should be changed to ZOMBIE_ATTACK! so that server admins can successfully add this to their server…because if you dont…then no user will be able to receive that file properly hence the user will never be able to load/connect to the map/server…so this is a MUST HAVE FIX!
is it possible to put quotes around that line in the .res file? Greysnake has the same issue with some turret model, but it's in an official pack so it's not as big a deal.
No…I tried using the double quotes " but those didnt work then I tried the single quotes ' and those dont work either…so the issue is that the space is there…and it must be closed by either adding an underscore or by taking it out completely…
Try putting a \ in front of the space.
so try putting ZOMBIE\ ATTACK!?
If that is the case I doubt that will work…and well yea…
