bout timeTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 03:45 PM
Damn, that was fast, i thought it'd take months.. I think i contributed 1 of those kills before i realised the game was no different to BF:BC. Also, Elie Monkey fails. :PTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 03:46 PM
dang . i didnt think it would happen this fastTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 03:47 PM
Damn, that was hella fast. Inb4 people making fanboyish comments.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 03:47 PM
I'm responsible for a few hundred of those :P Anyone know if this is in rotation or a separate option now?Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 03:49 PM
Fuck Coral Sea, fix the Best Squad achievementTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 03:50 PM
DAMN!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 03:53 PM
A couple hundred of those kills are from me. @#12 The Best Squad chieve is glitched, but several of my friends got it when they weren't in a squad. I played about 10 matches not in a squad and it popped for me. Try that.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 03:57 PM
200-300 where ofcourse me dying.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:00 PM
It's too bad that the Air "Superiority" game mode sucks, or Coral Sea would have been a good map.... They should really consider importing the Control/auto lock-on system from BF1942 and BF2.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:01 PM
oh jeez, lol. There was alot of underestimation for their own game methinks.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:05 PM
I wanna get this game is it any good?Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:05 PM
About time! I contributed about 600 kills.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:11 PM
Glad I could helpTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:17 PM
oh yes! less than a week, and the PS3's kill counter is only up to 23mill!!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:19 PM
Jeez! I bet they're really suprised with that result! I wonder how fast it would have been unlocked if they had enough server capacity in the first few days. I reckon the next battlefield will have a similar challenge with a vastly increased kill tally.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:21 PM
I think it's safe to assume EA and DICE didn't expect the kills to be racked up this fast either.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:20 PM
@9 its not glitched and i hope they keep working on the serversTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:23 PM
i got 383 kills in 2 days!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:22 PM
I think I contributed to about 1000 kills. 300 were mine. 700 were others killing me... unfortunately. :PTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:30 PM
nice work everyone! shows how awesome our community really isTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:33 PM
i know and i kick ass!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:28 PM
I got 200 kills in just one day...and you can too with just one easy installment of 1200 MP. But you have to call in the next 20 minutes, this great deal won't last forever. Please call our 800-number now. Operators will be standing by...Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:31 PM
@19 lets go for every 1 billion kills we get a new map or game mode in Bad Company 2!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:40 PM
That was extremely fast.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:47 PM
way to fastTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:43 PM
@4 1943 is way better than bad company. 3 well balanced classes other than 5 health regenerates while in bc health does not 1943 has a samurai sword, bayonets, m1 garand rifle grenades fighter jets, and a wrench to whack people with.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:49 PM
I helped :DTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:50 PM
That was quick.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:50 PM
Really, the Best Squad achieve is glitched. Unlocked fine for me. I hope this is a good map, and am pretty sure there will be a few more via DLC.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:47 PM
wat? 43 million noobs dying? I think DICE just blew hitler's record away......shame on themTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:43 PM
Brilliant! A new map should be fun. My only gripe with this game is I wish they included better 'in game' unlockables. Postcards and stamps?? wtf? At least let us unlock concept art or other cool stuff. Otherwise...I love this game. Well worth the dosh.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 04:52 PM
430 million kills unlocks nuke gogogogogo!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 05:01 PM
games kinda lacking to me since I play bf2 and bad company a lot put whatever.aren't any unlockablez not much reason to keep playing this at all they should have done a Vietnam XBLA version since not many people play the other Vietnam one that would have been better in my opinionTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 05:11 PM
coral sea is an amzing map particularly if you love being apilot like i do!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 05:12 PM
Im playing on PS3 we just hit 30mill.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 05:15 PM
Excelent map! Just got 200 :)Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 05:22 PM
dude i cant believe that we did it so fast. i love this game so much and i just love flying those planes so i cant wait for the new game variant thats all about flying!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 05:21 PM
That seems pretty quick. Nice.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 05:23 PM
oh and #39 xbox kicked ps3s ass on this one were waaay better!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 05:27 PM

the thing is tho if you are poo in an airplane then coral sea is defo not for you like i am :( need a new challangeTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 05:31 PM
@39 you just hit 23 million kills on PS3, lol I'd lie if I played a PS3 too. www.battlefield1943.com has the official kill counters.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 05:47 PM
hahaha I knew Xbox live would win! We did get the game before ps3 did but i'm sure a lot of us couldn't play it at all on release day.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 05:51 PM
hah guess my 150 kills contributed^^Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 05:58 PM
lol #3 be proud!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 06:00 PM
damnit.. knew i should have chucked a sickie today and stayed home.....Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 06:08 PM
@47 the challenge didn't start when it was released on July 8th. The challenge was started on July 10th when it was available to both 360 and PS3.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 06:06 PM
they should do another one were we get a map with only melee thatd be funTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 05:59 PM
#30 Well when u unlock those postcards u get higher score :) I think thats a great bonus. But yeah, they should make more and better unlockables^^Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 06:28 PM
Ohhhhhhhhh SHI- Already/??? Wow, well done guys!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 06:32 PM
Its Good To Know That Dying Contributes To The Rewards : DTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 06:43 PM
i wish it was good but th coral sea map isnt very good, i wouldve preferred another normal map...Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 06:55 PM
I hawent got the map 1 time!!!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 07:10 PM
Awesome that it already is out.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 07:22 PM
@29 I agreed with that till you said Heath Regeneration was a good thing...Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 07:46 PM
Holy shit that's impressive. lolTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 07:49 PM
I can't believe that 360 got it this fast either. That is pretty crazy but too bad I'll be playing Oblivion for a while so I can try and 100% that game.Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 07:44 PM
wow too bad i suck at flying. I wish they had a better progression system like in Bad Company. More guns maybe? The shotgun has gone missing. I hope they keep doing more challenges! More maps please!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 08:15 PM
@ #6 thats what she saidTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 08:32 PM
cool bout 200 were mine lol more like 100Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 08:54 PM
999 were bout mine damu sniperTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 08:58 PM
i wonder how the wankers on the playstation network are doing lolTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 09:04 PM
Damn if i owned it 25% of that would have been just me alone! lol jpTuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 09:29 PM
i kind of figured it was going to happen this fast for the 360!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 09:43 PM
Coral sea is amazing if you are a pilot, and it's an easy way to get some "stamps".Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 10:06 PM
@#9 I got mine while i wasn't even in a squad. Very good news, can't wait to try it! What wasn't mentioned in the post is that its only avaiable when playing Air Superiority which is pretty much deathmatch in the air :)Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 10:36 PM
ive been in the best squad on each map multiple times! wheres my achievement!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 11:46 PM
Lol, it was only 2 million a little over 24 hours ago. At least according to the in-game ticker...which was probably not up to date anyway if DICE wrote the code for it.Wednesday, July 15, 2009 @ 12:31 AM
Lol. Talk about fast. So how far back was PS3?Wednesday, July 15, 2009 @ 02:06 AM
we won because we die quicker lolWednesday, July 15, 2009 @ 02:28 AM
@Gamers who are whining about achievements not unlocking, I don't know what you are talking about, I've got all of the achievements without any problems...Wednesday, July 15, 2009 @ 03:00 AM
Wow, that's impressive. All you guys playing this are killing machines.Wednesday, July 15, 2009 @ 03:30 AM
Sweet gona play this as soon as i get home!!Wednesday, July 15, 2009 @ 03:39 AM
About 500 from me! Love this game and I think admiring matches in Coral Sea is more fun that participating.. So epic.Wednesday, July 15, 2009 @ 06:14 AM
I'd like to think that my sniping on iwo sima contributed to this. Great game!Wednesday, July 15, 2009 @ 09:19 AM
WOW thats crazy cant believe it only took a week haha nice job guysWednesday, July 15, 2009 @ 06:08 PM
ok first off....damn that was fast and also a great idea to get kids to play...i hope there will be more community challenges like this so players can unlock free maps...even if the developer holds back a map to unlock... great idea...gotta give propsThursday, July 16, 2009 @ 07:47 AM
i suck at flying but its nice to get a reward :D.... a jeep race track as the next unlockable level? :PSaturday, July 18, 2009 @ 11:47 AM
Coral Sea is all right, but why don't you get points when you kill enemies on their own carrier? I've had about 20 kills from bombing a carrier, but got no reward; you should at least get half-points. :-(Tuesday, July 21, 2009 @ 07:33 AM
coral sea sounds like a great map and i look forward to playing on it, im amazed it unlocked as quickly as it did. looking forward to the next unlockable map. I agree with #82 a race track would be quite cool, but maybe a map that has no vehicles which would make it more challenging for some as i have noticed that a lot of people spend a lot of time in a tank or a planeTuesday, July 21, 2009 @ 01:39 PM
Wow, I wasn't expecting the community to reach 43 million until at least mid-August. 7,000+ kills per minute! Wow!
Tuesday, July 14, 2009
When EA and DICE announced the Coral Sea Challenge way back in May, we were huge fans from the off. Despite being huge fans, we never in a million month of Sundays thought that 43 million kills would have been racked up in the game's first week! Yes, first week!
Literally as of a few minutes ago, Battlefield 1943 players racked up the 43 million Xbox Live kills needed to unlock the game's fourth map, Coral Sea. The 43 million target was hit in a little over 4 days - say 100 hours - so that equates to 430,000 kills an hour, and 7,167 kills a minute! Not bad huh?
Good jobs folks. That's some impressive killing ... now go and enjoy your reward.
