Players tried to declare a ceasefire during the Christmas days in Battlefield 1. But this shot back fired.
The developers of Battlefield 1 organized a Christmas event for the players, which includes a special medal. This medal is associated by the players with the Christmas truce of 1914, during which there was a spontaneous ceasefire between German and British soldiers over Christmas.
Players suspected that the Battlefield 1 developers would plan a special event for this occasion. After there was no information about an official planning, but the medal was simply “given away” for logging in, players wanted to organize a ceasefire on their own.
Negative reactions to the temporary peace
The planning went so far that players designed plans for what times on which days a ceasefire should happen. Instead of the usual battles, there should be air shows with planes or horse races. The following draft was uploaded by Imgur user SaracsticShark13.
While a few players from the Battlefield 1 community liked this idea, other players were not convinced at all by the planned ceasefire. Reddit user burks21 wrote that he bought a WAR game to kill people.
Presumably, it would have been difficult for the developers to convince the community of a ceasefire given these reactions. Thus, the medal was gifted to every player who logged into Battlefield 1 during the Christmas event. At least it reminded of the Christmas truce of 1914. Even though this peace was not implemented in the game, it was at least remembered.
