Are you even able to get the Steam dialogue with the message, "Preparing to launch Obsidian Conflict 1.35"?

Things you should check:
1) Is Source SDK Base 2007 (not 2006) installed? If not installed, or you have no idea what it is, download and install it from Steam's Tools tab (click on the All Games ▼ button underneath the large Library button and select Tools). You do not have to install Source SDK (that's for developers), but you do have to install Source SDK Base 2007.
2) Have you downloaded and installed Half-Life 2 (or either of its two episodes), AND launched those at least once? Playing through the game is not necessary, simply quit the game after you get to the menu - the launch triggers Steam to decrypt the respective GCFs, allowing mods such as OC to mount their content.
Apparently, Valve can't make games beyond the number 2.
I think the only time we'll get a Source SDK code update is when it starts having purchasable hats integrated, i.e. hatconomy.

Please do not make assumptions you are not knowledgeable enough to make - that just backfires on yourself.
Tick me off, and I'll be sure to give you the golden treatment. Haven't you heard? Silence is golden.
