One Big Cooperative Effort -- Battlefield 1943
Awesome image chosen by Colony of Gamers
As I type this, I'm filing it in the back of my mind for a future Battlefield Report. While it's not an intimiate battleground tactic, DICE has implemented a feature in the upcoming Battlefield 1943 that is cooperative in nature: a "community unlockable map".
In addition to re-tooled iterations of the original Battlefield 1942 maps Wake Island, Guadalcanal, and Iwo Jima, each console version will automatically unlock a third map -- Coral Sea -- when 43 million kills are reached by its respective community.
Granted, players really don't have to do anything except play the game, but the prospect of having a universal goal and subsequent reward for all players is the heart of co-op. Everyone plays, everyone wins.
Thanks to our friends at Colony of Gamers for digging this up.

I completely forgot about Vietnam man that had a killer soundtrack, good times reliving Apocalypse Now flying around in the choppers.
i always felt like a sitting duck in the choppers and i always flew the jets into the ground or off the map... dunno what it was about flying in that game, i just never got it. i dominated in tanks though
but anyway, yeah this game should be fun even if its not vietnam
Trying to finish it and I can't help but think KILL THE AI TEAMMATES!
Seriously, it's moments like being blasted by a tank and only I can chose between shooting at the tank in vain or repairing my tank to shoot the tank.
If there was a game that screamed co-op as much as Far Cry 2...it is this game.
This is also the first Battlefield game I am actually enjoying. Most I find are just clusters of spawns everywhere. This seems to have a more laxed approach.
Of course I haven't played MP at all.
Going to keep an eye out for Vietnam, thanks for the heads up.
I recently got hooked on Battlefield: BC after hating it for awhile. For some reason, I must have found my element or something. It's a lot of fun. I just wish it had a way to practice on the maps, because I can never get into a helo to practice flying.
