    So me and my friends are waiting for Modern Warfare 2, but we need something to hold us over for 2 months. We want either an fps or rts that we can co-op in or at least multiplayer. Relatively good graphics and under $60. Preferably from steam or direct 2 drive. Thanks in advance guys

    Tried the Tale of Valors pack? Is it worth downloading? Company of Heroes, Dawn of War II and Left 4 dead are possible choices right now

    Id try to get the CoH gold edition it can be had for cheap and offers up some great single player campaigns as well, there is also a trilogy with all three but not sure how much it is, theres a short review of the game more focused on the main game and first expansion in my sig, if you can pick up tales of valor cheap its worth a look, otherwise go for the gold edition trilogy.

    Seconding Left 4 Dead.

    With the flood of mostly-good custom campaigns coming out every week, you're not going to get bored.

    the thing is tho that left 4 dead 2 is comming out soon and there has been almost no price drop on l4d so it's a slight rip imo

    I know this has been mentioned before but I really have to agree on Left 4 Dead. It looks sweet and it's really good.
    You should try it out.

    Get the Unreal Deal pack on Steam, which includes every Unreal series game: Unreal Gold, Unreal II: The Awakening, Unreal Tournament GOTY, Unreal Tournament 2004 Editor's Choice, and Unreal Tournament 3 Black, all for $30. It'll keep you plenty busy.

    Failing that, there's also the famous Orange Box, also $30, which includes Half-Life 2, Episodes One and Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2.
