Well, that was fast!

In a little over four days, the Xbox 360 community tallied over 43,000,000 kills, un-locking both the Coral Sea map and the Air Superiority mode for the console.

Coral Sea is accessed from the Air Superiority icon on the main menu. Air Superiority differs from the Conquest mode found on other maps by eliminating flag points in favor of an all-out, aerial deathmatch!

We're in the process of determining who executed the final 43,000,000th kill, so check back soon!

Congratulations to the Xbox 360 community for winning the challenge and come on PS3 fans! Don't let 360 players have all the fun!

the fact that you have to tell everyone here that you were indicates you were most likely in your room jerking it the whole time.

it doesn't indicate anything, what I said is a fact. I wonder why its so hard for you to believe that...

GameTrailers Battlefield 1943 Review

Team Xbox Coral Sea Impressions
Our friends over at Team Xbox posted a short write up on the new Coral Sea map, which was unlocked yesterday for Xbox 360 users.

Getting a gift for free is always great, but there’s something a little more special about earning it. Xbox 360 gamers definitely earned the gift that Electronic Arts and developer DICE were giving out to the online community that could be the first to reach 43 (get it?) million kills online with their new downloadable remake of a PC gaming classic, Battlefield 1943. It pitted the gamers on Xbox Live versus those on the PlayStation Network. Fanboy vs. Fanboy. And in a surprise to no one (at least no one ’round these parts), the Xbox 360 gamers got their first, accomplishing the feat in only five days (basically racking up kills at a rate twice that of the “other” community). That’s a lot of people playing Battlefield 1943 online since the Coral Sea kill counter started tracking player dispatches this past Friday.

The prize for this accomplishment is not only a new map added to the game, but a new gameplay mode, with both immediately available to everyone who has bought the game. The map is called Coral Sea and the mode is called Air Superiority. If you haven’t played the new content yet, rest assured that it’s a lot different from the type of game you’ve come to expect from Battlefield 1943 so far. Read the rest...

Didn't BF1942 release a day early on Xbox? Kind of an unfair advantage when one side gets a full 24 hour head-start.
