Battlefield 1943 : Best Xbox Live Arcade Game of 2009?

I certainly think Battlefield 1943 is worthy of this title. 1200MSP is bargain for the 14 hours that I have played!

Battlefield 1943 : Community Challenge

43,000,000 kills and it opens a fourth map. The developers expected this to take a month! How wrong were they, current the XBOX 360 total stands at 28,000,000. I think less than two days and the map will be unlocked!

Battlefield 1943 : Milkrun & Parachutist

Milkrun

Fly a plane for 10 minutes; this is total time across all online matches and cannot be gained in the tutorial.

Parachutist

Use the parachute once (2 seconds); bizarrely, like most people, I could not work out how to open the parachute, but its actually quite easy after exiting the plane with B, then tap A to open the chute. The tap is to ensures its open, but an icon does appear in the bottom of the screen to confirm its open.
