Coral Sea Map Announced with New Trailer
DICE has announced that a fourth map for Battlefield 1943, Coral Sea, will be made available as part of a worldwide community challenge after the game's release.
In Battlefield 1942, Coral Sea was an ocean map with just a couple of small islands. Each team had a carrier and unlimited aircraft - there were no control points, your only objective was to sink the enemy carrier. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out in BF1943. Check it out:
DICE, today announced that Battlefield 1943 will kick off a worldwide community challenge that, when 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 43M 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, all for $15.
Coral Sea is designed to showcase the intense battle in the skies, offering an all-new Air superiority game mode. The legendary WWII action this map provides will have players dog fighting in this airplanes-only map, proving once again DICE delivers on a first class online vehicle warfare experience better than anyone else! Players will be able to track the progress of their respective console communities at www.battlefield.com/1943.
