And who fired the lucky forty-three-millionth shot? That would be one "James" (gamertag: jkasapi) from Peterborough, England. With no small amount of irony involved, EA is gifting the obviously subterranean James with a pair of 1943 sunglasses, a 1943 t-shirt, and custom Battlefield sneakers, for when he goes "outside."

Wow, that's a pretty craptacular prize for a 1 in 43 million kill. If I was that guy and it wasn't for ebay, I wouldn't even have bothered responding with my address for EA to ship that junk to.

hmmm...
i was gonna try to 200/200 this before it was unlocked but i only got into a game for the first time last night and i bought it day 1.
imagine how fast we would have done it if everyone could play from the beggining

If you can not connect, Download the Fight Night Round 4 Demo, when it is downloaded launch it and click on the connect to EA. This will tie your gamertag into an EA account, you will then be able to connect to bf 1943. I tried for 3 days to connect untill I found this nugget of info on the EA forums, worked like a charm!

I still haven't picked this up. Maybe I'll hop on PSN tonight and help the PS3 users out :)

Ever stop to wonder if it was your connection? Not the servers?
I haven't had a single connection issue in the last several days.
Also, I haven't experience much if at all any lag on this game, none on Air Superiority either.
So go open up your nat, or buy a new router.
Otherwise go play COD, we won't miss you.

I love BF as much as the next guy but face it, if EA didn't require dice to use their shitty servers (as opposed to the awesome MS ones used by cod) we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Why you gotta make fun of the guy chris? It's not like he got the other 43 million kills, it could even have been his first kill! It's not like he got Seriously 2.0 in a day

So basically EA made everyone take a poll with out there own knowledge. I say this because EA is going to use these numbers to say "Oh look 360 has sold more compared to PS3 and now we know who to concentrate on providing better servers." I wish no one logged on to the game and see the dumb faces on the EA suits.

The only good thing about Coral sea is that all the plane retards will hopefully go there and stop hogging my air taxis.

Great, but it really shows that the xbox is the FPS gamers console of choice.

HAHAHA yeah sure judge that 43 mil kills with skill, just means you xbox people died a whole lot, i wouldnt be surprised if you even had other accounts that just sat there and boosted the kills. So comparing a total number of kills aka deaths (over a whole community) is just retarded.
