EA DICE took the stage at gamescom earlier today to talk about Battlefield: Bad Company 2. But before they discussed the sequel, the download-only Battlefield 1943 was brought up for a brief moment.
Based on leaderboards for the game alongside the launch server issues caused by too many people trying to play, we knew Battlefield 1943 was performing well already. According to its developer, the game has achieved 1 million downloads so far. Impressive!
It wasn't specified if this number was a combined total for both versions of the game, but I assume that it was. With so many sales, I can't help but wonder why there's been no talk of downloadable content yet. The user base is there, so why not give us a few more maps to fool around with? Just go easy on the pricing.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

But, I am glad the game is doing well. It is a really well made game, and a blast to play.
