Good PC Multiplayer games?

I'm trying to find a game to play with a friend of mine. We currently play Warhammer Online together, but starting to get burned out on it since it's all we play.
Can people suggest some games that still have activity and have good coop action in them?

Are you just looking for PC games? Or are there consoles that you both own?
EDIT: http://co-optimus.com/ is all you need for all of your co-op needs, regardless.
Though, if you're going to play vs, you might want to try to find another two friends since dealing with vs pubs can be hair-ripping-out-bad.
Not all the time, but often enough.
Not much selection I am afraid.
It's either
1) MMOs (WoW, War)
2) FPS (L4D)
3) RTS (DoW2 or Demigod)
It comes in The Orange Box with four other games, it's relatively cheap, PA has an active community and Valve are always adding new shit to the PC version.
What about the Battlefield games?
Gears of War PC is an obvious choice for Co-op
Sins of a Solar Empire
SupCom
Demigod
Edit: Synergy is the other one.

It's a really awesome game, and not like your standard FPS at all. The emphasis is on being slow and methodical. You need to work together with your team mates because a single person going Rambo can easily get the entire squad killed.
In terms of gameplay it's a tactical FPS, with a heavy emphasis on the fact that it's a police sim. That means you are not allowed to use lethal force on sight, even if they've got a gun, or even if the suspect's fleeing. You are only allowed to fire in the defence of life (which means they have to have previously shot their weapon, or have to be pointing it at someone). Wherever possible you also have to shout compliance first in order to give them the opportunity to surrender.
This ends up making the game much more tense, and every room is a potential deathtrap since you can never really predict what's going to happen, and the suspects and civilians can be pretty unpredictable at times. You need to take your time and follow procedure where you can. The best thing I can say about this game is that I played it through on hard difficulty, and died loads of times, probably dozens on some missions. BUT, every time it happened, I knew it was always because I had tried to rush things, cut some corner, not do things properly. It's one of the few games where I died so frequently and yet that didn't feel cheap or frustrating because I knew I was the one that screwed up.
EDIT: Oh, and I also want to add in Shotgun Sunrise, which is a mod in progress by a bunch of people from the forums. It's a zombie western mod, and it's really good fun for messing about in. You can find the thread here:

I also feel like I should echo the suggestions for Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead, valve's teamplay games are the best I've ever played.
It's my understanding that the complete box just comes with some DLC but I seem to remember reading that the included DLC was actually free to download, so I could just buy the original version used and save some scratch? Can anyone clarify for me?
