BF1918 Fall of the Wall Event 2023

November 9th is the 34th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and there is hardly a major media outlet that has not already dealt with the topic in detail. Of course, the gaming scene should not be left out here, so I suggest to hold a Battlefield 1918 (BF1918) "Fall of the Wall" event. The game will be played on Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 8 p.m. on a specially created map. What we need is a BF1918 server that lists this map and players who agree to be there on this day?
We can also play the map with the current version of BF1918 v3.3.
As stated in the description of the map from 2006, capitalist and socialist forces are separated by the Berlin Wall. Control of Checkpoint Alpha is the key to victory, but it also requires team play, as barriers and gates can block the way. These are controlled in the guard's house by A and D or the arrow keys. In the following years, the map was revised again and provided with nice details. Screenshots, which Cicero has thankfully created, give a first insight.

Day of Event:  8th.November and 9th.Novermber

Time: 8pm CET

Server: ? We need one who Host the Mauerfall Map

Battlefield 1918 v3.3: Download

Mauerfall Map: Download

Am 9. November ist es soweit: der Fall der Mauer jährt sich zum 34. Mal und es gibt kaum ein großes Medium, das sich nicht bereits ausführlich mit dem Thema beschäftigt hat. Die Gaming-Szene darf sich hier natürlich nicht lumpen lassen, deshalb schlage ich vor ein Battlefield 1918 (BF1918)  "Mauerfall" Event durchzuführen. Gespielt werden soll am Mittwoch- und Donnerstagabend ab 20 Uhr auf einer eigens dafür erstellen Map. Was wir dafür brauchen, ist ein BF1918 Server der diese Map Listet und Spieler, welche sich bereit erklären an diesem Tag dabei zu sein?
Dabei können wir die map auch mit der aktuellen Version von BF1918 v3.3 spielen.
Wie es in der Beschreibung der Karte aus dem Jahr 2006 heißt, sind kapitalistische und sozialistische Kräfte durch die Berliner Mauer getrennt. Die Kontrolle über den Checkpoint Alpha ist der Schlüssel zum Sieg, erfordert aber auch Teamplay da Schranken und Tore den Weg versperren können. Diese werden im Wärterhäuschen durch A und D bzw. die Pfeiltasten kontrolliert. In den Folgejahren wurde die Karte noch einmal überarbeitet und mit netten Details versehen. Screenshots, die Cicero dankenswerterweise erstellt hat, geben einen ersten Einblick.

Hello ridgeraiser! I am Bubu from FHSW Europe and registered on Simple forum just to reply to this post
I would like to offer a BF1918 server for this opportunity. It is based in Germany and is stable as long as the maps are stable. Please, let me know if you accept our server and I will install the required map as well as share the IP/Port information in PM with you.

Hi Bubu, thank you for your feedback. Sure, it's no problem that your (FHSW-Europe) provides the server for the event. If you want, can you make a flyer about it? We can design this event as a pre-event before the normal FHSW event starts? Or as a whole BF1918 Fall of the Wall evening event? The Fall of the Wall Map is to be included in the official BF1918 inventory in the future. But probably only for the future, as the release of the current v3.4 version is just around the corner.

Hi Bubu, vielen Dank für deine Rückmeldung. Sicher, es ist kein Problem, dass Ihr (FHSW-Europe) den Server für das Event stellt. Wenn ihr wollt könnt ihr einen Flyer dazu machen? Wir können dieses Event, als vor Event gestalten, bevor dann das normale FHSW Event startet? Oder als ganzes BF1918 Mauerfall Abend Event? Die Mauerfall Map soll zukünftig in den offiziellen BF1918 bestand aufgenommen werden. Wahrscheinlich aber erst für die Zukunft, da der Release von der aktuellen v3.4 Version vor der Türe steht.

Re: BF1918 Fall of the Wall Event 2023

Hello all, I also registered to chip in to this topic: I would like to promote the event in my Discord server - Lost-Soldiers BF2 Community - as an "allied event" (we promote all sorts of Vietnam, 1942, 2 & 2142 events), as I would like to attend myself too; but I would prefer if server details, but also a precise time of the day, can be shared (oh and a flier too, I guess it would be as easy as overlaying title/server details/time on one of the pictures in post #1?), so that the promotional post is not ambiguous. I am fairly sure other server owners also feel that way technically we're still in summer time by the way (CEST)

S_h_a_r_k_93 said.: "Hallo zusammen, ich habe mich auch registriert, um mich in dieses Thema einzubringen: Ich möchte das Event auf meinem Discord-Server - Lost-Soldiers BF2 Community - als "alliiertes Event" bewerben (wir promoten alle Arten von Vietnam, 1942, 2 & 2142 Events), da ich selbst auch gerne teilnehmen würde; aber ich würde es vorziehen, wenn Serverdetails, aber auch eine genaue Tageszeit, geteilt werden können (oh und ein Flyer auch, ich denke, es wäre so einfach wie das Überlagern von Titel/Serverdetails/Uhrzeit auf einem der Bilder in Beitrag #1?), damit der Werbebeitrag nicht mehrdeutig ist. Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass es anderen Serverbesitzern auch so geht, technisch gesehen sind wir übrigens noch im Sommer (MESZ)"

As histroy start we play, we think this date works, "Day of Event":  8th.November and 9th.Novermber

Time for start is : 8pm CET

But at the moment, we have no Server, to during this.
For the event it would be welcome, to have balanced teams. But if it isnt impossible, you write the history yourself into, "the Berlin Wall wasnt fall"." Thats the thing about history. We would be support it, if its possible to the german parameters during. Because its a celbrate to East Germany (Ex DDR) going together with (Bundesrepublik Deutschland West) to the Deutschland/Germany from today we know.

Well @bubu expressed that he would be able and willing to lend one of his FHSW servers, to install the modification and the additional map. In various Discord servers, I have read that a new version of the modification is also going to be available very soon; but still v3.3 + Mauerfall map is all that will be required to join the event, is that correct?

1. How many players are you expecting to join this event? I speak from experience in hosting Battlefield 2
   modded events (Pirates/Zombies): it's challenging (difficult) to have people install modifications + maps

   
   

2. Did you manage to get in touch with @bubu by private message?

   
   

3. I have created a rough Forum flier for the event, is it good to share around?

Re: BF1918 Fall of the Wall Event 2023

Hello, I installed the map on the server - 176.9.19.239:14568. It should be visible in the server browser (provided you have the new master-server patch).

I suggest using 11th November (Saturday) for this event because if we had organized this during week, many won't be able to join resulting in low player base.

Thanks Shark for the flyer!

p.s. I'm sorry - I had to re-register as bubu2 as I couldn't find my password for my original account and when I tried to reset it, the reset email wasn't coming.

Re: BF1918 Fall of the Wall Event 2023

Yeah I am on the same page: a weekend time would be much better! I understand you want to make it historically-accurate but, I redirect you my question #1 in previous post: during the week people have work to do?

But I guess this kind of event is already very limited in audience so... but a Saturday or Friday nights are much better than Tuesday/Wednesday nights, that's for sure. Also can you make it so I can edit my posts, pretty please? URLs would be cool too but, I can live without them; but if you can upgrade my user to "verified" or something, I would appreciate it. Thanks

edit: wait, now I can edit, and I can give reputation points too - yaaay!!

Re: BF1918 Fall of the Wall Event 2023

Hello, the event is due in a couple of weeks; at the same time the new 3.4 version has released - with some bugs to iron out - and it already includes the map that we are supposed to be playing for the event. Though I wonder, are we going to play that map over, and over, again?

Anyway I just wanted to know if there's some progress uhm.. Bubu has already hosted the 3.4 release event server and it counted as high as 55 players? It was really awesome to see such interest. I believe they are gearing up for a second run also in the same time frame so, we need to figure something out, together!

Re: BF1918 Fall of the Wall Event 2023

@bubu2 @S_h_a_r_k_93 Lets make it. We will see how much like, we can start 8pm CET. We can play the Fall of the Wall map in change to regular BF1918 Maps you like? Fall of the Wall next Map Berlin, Fall of the Wall, after then Priesterwald and so on. Also all have the chance to play this Map, to this event. ANd the guys dont get boring too fast, because only one Map is playing. What do you think? You dont have to seperate download the map. Its included to the v3.4 BF1918.
