    I know about the fourth map that will come once the PS3 slackers make it to 43 million (right?) kills but do you think they'll update it with more in the future? Will it be an update, a DLC to an XBLA game (is that possible) or a whole new game?

    I'm sure they're already working on something new, but for now, I'd say I'm still enjoying the maps at the moment (minus that Iwo-Jimmywotsit boring shit).

    I hope they release new maps. The ones available are fine (not a fan of Iwo-Jima) but I would like some more in the future.

    Seeing as 1943 has been downloaded somewhere around 600,000 times I think additional maps and content are a forgone conclusion. I personally would like to see something from the European front in the next packet of maps.

    it's not unheard of for there to be dlc for an arcade game (castle crashers and the maw come to mind), so it's entirely possible they will get you some new maps shortly.

    The 3 maps are enough, it's the lack of gadgets and weapons I'm worried about.

    I doubt they would, though that would be cool.  They'd just take a few other 1942 maps and put them into 1043

    I'm sure they will release more after seeing some dedicated weekly numbers of people playing. Sure hope they do.

    Iwo Jima is trash and we made to the fourth map a long time ago. Anyways to my knowledge the next maps will probably be paid DLC.

    To your knowledge? You mean, "I have no knowledge whatsoever on the subject and am just speculating like everybody else"

    Iwo Jima isn't trash either, it's a pretty good map. In all probability, there is a good chance we will not see any new maps, the game was not even originally intended to be a release, it was a project that got started for fun and ended up being too good not to release. There is a high chance the devteam will continue as normal onto their next project.

    However stranger things have happened, the games obviously been very succesful and it wouldn't surprise me if they decided to get working on some DLC to capitalise on that success.

    I hope they add more maps soon. I'm already burnt out from this game and when fall rolls in I'll be playing bigger and badder things.

    I think they will probably be more concerned with working on Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3. Of course I could be wrong but think that they want to finalize and perfect their full retail products rather than their $15 downloadable title

    They did say that it only takes like 3 or 4 guys a few hours to pump out some maps, so it really wouldn't be that much trouble for them though. I would think that it's pretty likely.

    If they do something in Europe and add in a few maps this game will be complete.


    EDIT: I also have to say that Iwo Jima is my favorite map, anyone who doesn't like it doesn't make sense.

    That or just release them at the same time on both platforms (for free) but that's wishful thinking in this day and age.  Maybe they could compromise and offer players the opportunity to pay to unlock them but unlock them for everyone once certain conditions are met.

    And what's with all the Iwo Jima hate here?  I think it's my favorite map, it's nice that all of the points are different and easy to remember on that map.  Wake Island on the other hand...

    They arn't going to release them for free. Battlefield 1943 is currently #5 on the XBL activity charts. Not just the XBLA game activity the full retail game charts.  They are almost definitely going to come out with more maps and most definitely charge for them.

    I think it was Coral Sea that was a side project that got added in. I never heard anything about the whole game being a "for-fun project", but you may be right. Also, DICE said that depending on sales they would add DLC, and it's broken all sorts of records. Even if it did start just for fun, if it's selling and they can make money, why wouldn't they capitalize on that?

    Also, some people are mentioning paying map by map, but I don't think they'd ever do that. They'll probably release 2-3 at a time and sell them as a pack. Selling them piece-meal would segment the base too much. Besides, pack in a poor map with a great one and people have no choice but to pay. :)

    I would love to see some new maps, and I would pay a tidy sum to play them. After my trip, I am behind at the moment in 1943 playing, so an announcement regarding maps or modes would surely pull me back in.

    A) I like Iwo Jima
     
    2) I really liked some of the Western Maps back in BF1942, and would like to see a map incorporating the urban warfare of BF1942 in Russia.  
     
    Nuff Said.  I'll pay for extras also.
