Battlefield 1943's dogfighting map 'Coral Sea' has been unlocked for PlayStation 3 players, triggered on Saturday evening by reaching the milestone of 43 million total kills.

The map was the subject of a community challenge which saw Xbox 360 and PS3 players shelling, bombing and shooting their way to the trigger figure. Xbox 360 troops managed to hit their target first, on July 14--a mere four days after the challenge began.

Imo, the PS3'ers haven't missed a thing. Its a pretty awful map.

The rest of bf1943's maps are awesome but this one is claustrophobic, too compact and too chaotic. I dislike how you can't land or jump on any of the islands like you used to in 1942 :(

I hope they bring more old maps back tho, such as El Alamein and Bocage! I'd gladly pay for more of 'em

Coral Sea was a POS map in 1942 because the planes sucked so fucking bad in the game. I mean they were ok I guess when considered part of the whole planes + tanks + infantry experience, but there was never enough depth to their flight/combat model to be any fun as the only vehicle on a map. It was just lame.

Yea I played it over the weekend on PS3 a bit. The air map is boring after about 2 rounds, I totally wish they put a regular map in the game with ground infantry and just made planes more viable in it because its a boring addition to the game at least for me. If i wanted *good* air combat mixed in with ground and vehicles I would go back to playing Warhawk.

Yeah, its a fun diversion, but its staying power is suspect.

Considering how cheap the game was, I would gladly pony up some more cash for additional maps. But I won't turn down any free content (even more air superiority maps).
