Battlefield 1943's 'Coral Sea' Map Unlocked for Xbox 360
by Nick Breckon, Jul 14, 2009 1:30pm PDTThe air-centric map "Coral Sea" has been unlocked for play in the Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 1943 after the game's running kill-count surpassed 43 million today.
Developer DICE's "Coral Sea Challenge" promised the map to each platform's community after reaching the milestone, which was achieved six days after the game's rocky release.
The PlayStation 3 count stands at 22 million, indicating PS3 owners are still in for a bit of a wait.

I'm almost convinced there is something wrong with my DSL connection...
Every time to try to do a quickmatch with the demo, it constantly responds back with "Cannot connect to EA" or something along those lines. Over and over again.
:(
Oh well, at least BF:H is giving me my fix...

I think i'm just fine with the 3 maps that are currently out considering it's been out for less than a week. Once that map drops within the next few days it'll be nice but to be honest the infantry portion of the game is my favorite part, so I'm not sure this map will do much for me. What I'd like to see in the future is some more land-based, town-type settings for more infantry combat. Guadalcanal is a great one, albeit not a "city map" it is still more infantry-based. More guns, more maps and I'm happy. Just make the guns unlockable through ranking progression.

I still think it's a great value at $15. I'd love to see more games going this route.

Coral Sea features a new game mode called Air Superiority. Much like it’s cousin, Conquest, the goal of Air Superiority is to exhaust all of your enemies tickets by shooting down the opposing fighters. A tightly connected formation between a few allied planes will earn you a fearsome reputation and the title “Ace of the Pacific!”
Tip: In Air Superiority mode, a team can capture an area much like a flag. They need to fend off enemy fights and rule the sky alone for a few moments to capture the area.
