I've been burned often enough, buying games based on how the publicist and developers rave about it, to learn that it's best to get the community's feel for the game before I buy it, but never get to play it coz no one else bothers.
Games like Frontlines, Crysis online, Splinter Cell online come to mind.

It seems this 'small group co-op' idea has taken off... there are a few titles on the horizon using this principle (L4D2, Borderlands, Interstellar Marines, Aliens vs. Predator: something-or-other, etc.).
Even Dawn of War 2 could be played co-op, but that wasn't so great coz Live voice comms is FUBAR...

How does that work Lee?

I am sort of in favour... but i REALLY want the box set. I would imagine that it eliminates then?

Yep, it eliminates the box set. You are getting a Steam version of the game i.e downloaded copy.

However, there is one BIG advantage to this. As we have discovered playing L4D and Titan Quest, the steam community functions and friends list make it very easy to get an adhoc game going at any time.

The normal version will most liely be a stand alone install, and therefore won't link in to Steam at all. Easy to get missed off game invites that way...

You can add non-Steam games to the Steam list...
