How many console gamers does it take to unlock a map? That's going to be the question people ask as EA and Battlefield series maker DICE reveal what has to be the world's most participation-contingent unlockable in the history of gaming.

Simply put, the fourth map of the game - Coral Sea - will be unlocked when Xbox Live and PlayStation network gamers rack up 43 million kills. The official wording:

The WWII Coral Sea map will be unlocked when the multiplayer community achieves 43M kills on Xbox Live and the same number on PlayStationŽNetwork.


The wording is a trifle ambiguous, so we're trying to get an indication from EA as to whether both platforms need to reach 43 million before the map is available, or if one community can "beat" the other to the score and play earlier.

And what can you expect from the fourth map, assuming console players can manage that total? A non-infantry, flight-only map. Hmm:

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!


Quite a bold undertaking from EA and DICE. Unless there's a "mass genocide" style button it's hard to imagine the PSN crew in particular hitting 43 million kills in a hurry, unless its grown a hefty amount recently.

We'll update when we get a response.

EDIT: EA has gotten back to us. Yes, it is 43 million kills for each platform, and yes it's a race between platforms to see who gets the unlock first. OH IT'S ON.


Personally 43 mil seems a bit much, seeing as by myself in bad comp i only have about 8000 kills and that's when i was playing it non stop (2 - 3 months?)...

But i'm definitely gonna be helping
