Co-op Campaign - Shooting things together on PC

Me and my housemates are all avid gamers, and have been trying to find games we can all play together over LAN. We've had our fill of things like Civilization 4 and Command & Conquer, and now really want to play co-op FPS or Third Person Shooter games. We just got Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, and are really enjoying playing through that, so we would like more games in that kind of vein. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is Rainbow Six Vegas (1 and/or 2) any good? Any other games on the horizon? Thanks!!!

Doesnt make it any less fucking incredible. Vegas is a great franchise.
Actually, you can play the Vegas 1 story with 4 player co-op. None of the cut scenes have audio so you don't get the story, but you can definitely play 4 player co-op.
Been a while. Vegas 2 MP is just better in every way.
If you get the expansion pack then there's up to 10 player-co-op. Some useful additions too, like the grenade launcher.
It's a really awesome game, very tactical. I will warn you though, it's not easy, there's no rebounding health, and rushing things, or just one player trying to go Rambo, can easily get the entire squad killed. It's fundamentally a police sim as opposed to an action game or a military game. The key difference this makes is that it's very important to follow procedure, and your ultimate objectives are to save lives, even those of the suspects where you can.
Meanwhile, not in the tactical shooter area, but Serious Sam has Seriously good co-op (see what I did there?). Lots of brainless blasting of waves and waves of enemies.
I played the demo of the newest Serious Sam and I thought it seriously sucked balls, is the full game better? has it been patched or anything since then?
I don't know much about the Live for Windows service though.

I was referring more to the first one (haven't really played the second). On its own it's nothing really special (although I felt it gets better as the game goes on), but co-op is still plenty of fun.
Left 4 Dead is comming to PC and 360 in November.
I actually came into this thread just to mention that L4D looks like it's going to be a great co-op game.
Bet you didn't see that one coming.

Well if you've only had it on the 360 then now should be the time to try Gears of War on the PC. You'll experience the new content for the first time and still not feel like you wasted some money before 2 comes out.

Neverwinter Nights is a perfect for the group, if you're looking for an RPG. The game is long, and you'll genuinely benefit from having a well balanced three or more player group (I think the max is 5).

Not necessarily co-op, but obviously 2-player hotseat/local. So far Katamari and Rock Band are the things that hold her interest. That, and she wants games with really over-the-top and varied killing, but she is bored by many of them because her attention span is 3 seconds.
Hm. Are there any good fighting games on the 360 yet?
Virtua Fighter 5
Yeah its 3 atleast.
So hey, any action games that basically require no learning about combos/key presses/instructions at all in order to get right into the flying limbs? Like, Serious Sam but 3rd person action. Is the new Ninja Gaiden like that on super-easy?
You and your comrades standing back to back, shotguns and black powder cannons ablaze, as endless hordes of headless screaming people carrying bombs pour over the hills and toothy alien brainy things on metal legs scorch the air around you with lasers...
this is best in life.
Also look back at Rainbow Six Raven Shield Athena Sword and that other third free pack I keep forgetting the name of. It may be older, but it is still a very solid series and the spot before the whole series became consolified.
