The Tom Clancy franchise is enormously popular, and deservedly so.  It is also famous for having great co-op play, as several Clancy titles in our database would suggest.  Later this fall, a new take on the series will debut, this time with a focus on air combat, as detailed at CVG.  Tom Clancy's HAWX pulls away from the ground based warfare of previous Clancy titles to take the series to new heights (how's that for an extended metaphor).  Intense dogfighting action is promised.  Besides the standard single player campaign, HAWX will support up to 16 players in online dogfights.  Co-op details are sparse, but promising:

The solo campaign features four-player jump-in co-op, which includes its own particular set of challenges.

At this time, it is unknown what these particular challenges will be, whether specific objectives, or just the same old single player with the added challenge of coordinating with others.  Also unknown is whether the co-op will be online or local, or both.  Given the bad news we've reported as of late regarding co-op in upcoming games, we certainly hope HAWX maintains the high co-op standards of other games in the Clancy universe.
