Just moments ago the ticker on the official Battlefield 1943 website rolled over the forty-three million kills needed to unlock the newest map in the fastest growing sensation to hit the downloadable title market.

Xbox 360 fans united together and achieved what some are considering a record of sorts. Not only did the Microsoftites bog down the servers, have over five million kills the first day, but broke forty-three million kills first!

Playstation 3 owners are over halfway there, and will likely reach their goal by the end of the week! Gamers, give yourself a handclap and hope that there will be another map to unlock sometime in the future.

We’d highly reccomend you follow the official Battlefield 1943 twitter for more information as it breaks!
