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."

There are twenty-four new screens in all that were added.
EA has recently released their 2009 Q4 and 2010 Q1 fiscal reports and the information provided has made Battlefield 1943 the best selling download only game on consoles to date.
... and I still play it every time I have the chance :)
Instead of BF1944, they should just release more maps for Battlefield 1943. It's my favourite game on XBL. I would hate to see more and more people leave it.
i was also thinking.. what about another BF game that has nothing to do with bad company.
battlefield 3.. oh my this should get awesome.. if they manage to expand on the usual gameplay.
Well deserved. the orginal PC series 1942/DC/Vietnam etc ate years away for me and this was pretty good as well.
Forget 1944 i'd take BF:Vietnam over any 194x series.
That Dice focuses more on the BC and regular Battlefield series on the PC. Loved 1943, but loved BC2 and BF2142 much more.
New maps are what I need. This game is a beast and totally deserves the achievement.
Good to see their success.
But I found it interesting that it said:
"...along with EA becoming the #1 publisher on every platform except for Nintendo platforms. EA is the #1 third party publisher on those platforms however."
I guess that means that they took back the spot from activision? I guess thats good as Dead Space made me like EA enough, and Im not a big fan of activision lately. Take that KOtic.
EA has Skate and Battlefield / Activision has Tony Hawk and Call of Duty. My preference the last few years has been EA for these reasons. Everything else doesn't really bother me with these 2 companies. the rest of the games i play come from other publishers.
Well done EA and DICE for this great achievement. 1943 is the perfect companion to the Bad Company series. perfect for those times where you just don't have the energy required to play either bad company 1 or 2. absolutely love it.
kinda stopped playing after i picked up bad company 2. maybe i should hop back on if people are still playing.
Here's a very good video (if we do say so ourselves) showing off what I believe to be the 10 best games on the PlayStation Store at the moment. Enjoy!
