Fourth map unlockable in Battlefield 1943

Players to gain access to Coral Sea map once community reaches 43 million kills.

DICE has announced that Battlefield 1943 will kick off a worldwide community challenge that, once achieved, will reward players by unlocking a fourth map called Coral Sea.

The WWII Coral Sea map will be unlocked when the multiplayer community achieves 43 million kills on Xbox LIVE and the same number on PlayStation Network. When it ships this summer, Battlefield 1943 will include three maps (Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, and Wake Island) plus this fourth bonus map.

Coral Sea has been designed to showcase the intense battle in the skies, offering an all-new Air superiority game mode - aeroplanes-only.

Players will be able to track the progress of their respective console communities at battlefield.com.

Battlefield 1943 will be available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace (1200 MS Points) and PlayStation Store ($14.99) this summer. The PC version will follow in September.
