quick question for steam noob

IvoryTower

My bro and I were playing rome tw last night using steam. what can we use so that we can chat through headsets while we play? Will we also be able to hear the game music etc?

He likes the classic rts games like warcraft 2 etc, can any of them still be played online? (preferable through steam, unless it's just as easy to set up)

IvoryTower

teamspeak is a separate program. Ive only ever connected to somebody ts so i dont know how you set it up but works well,

Just get skype. When we not using Vent, we use skype. Great free alternative and with great voice quality.
