EA DICE's acclaimed online shooter Battlefield 1943 has broken the record for the fastest game to reach 1 million downloads on the Xbox LIVE Arcade service, according to the official Battlefield 1943 blog.

At a price of 1200MSP per download, that means a quick 1200 000 000 MSP in the bank for those involved. Don't ask me what that means in real money terms, but I'm sure it's plenty dollars.

Although EA DICE currently has "no plans" for any further Battlefield 1943 DLC, we may see a similar XBLA title in the future, according to a recent Joystiq interview with producer Gordon Van Dyke:

The success of [1943] has given it an existence within our lineup, in our thoughts. You could possibly see another type of 1943 in the future. But it doesn't mean it's going to be based on 1942.
