I just installed Steam's Supreme Commander 2 (FWIW) just to mess
around with it. Not really impressed by the fact that you cannot
chew buildings without paying for them ahead of time, and the lack
of building templates, but... 

In the Steam "my games" tab, under "Not Installed", it says "Call
of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - multiplayer" with "2.6 days left".
Thanks to a fast Internet connection and the fact that they do not
have my credit card number, it might just be a waste of time and
bandwidth. It sells for $50 US on GoGamer. The Steam version says
"multiplayer"so apparently it is not exactly the same thing as the
$50 version. Anybody know the details?

It's a free trial weekend.  Full game for a limited time.

Thanks, that answered my next question. So it is not just a limited 
time to install it, it is also a limited time to play it.
