Christmas truce
I read the battlefield community organised a Christmas truce one year. This is awesome and would like to see it in play. What’s the chances of this happening tomorrow.

Not very likely. It was done in Battlefield 1 to commemorate the Christmas truce of 1914. I doubt Dice Sweden would have anything organised. They didn't even bother commemorating the 100 year anniversary of the end of WW1 while Battlefield 1 was still the current Battlefield game.
- @Noodlesocks Why would they commemorate a real life event where millions were slaughtered in a video game where players run around tee bagging people?
- @mickey921 Can't see it happening this year myself.

Sorry @mickey921 ,
Such events were from the good old days in Battlefield!
While those of us encouraging such 'community happenings' are relegated to be called names instead these days, as being old out-of-date silly legacy romantic BF buggers. ;o)
We had frequently various community events of various kinds in 'the good ol' BF days. But the key word here is 'community'. And that is what I consider totally missing these days in the BF environment. There is no common care to getting together about certain aspects of the gaming together. There is no place for a community to gather and have fun together and organize shared events beyond the online gaming activity itself. There are no clans with members socializing with each other and hosting fun adventures in custom setup servers for doing things together and making/having those 'only in Battlefield moments and experiences'.
Essentially the things that made Battlefield legendary !
The ego centered Battle Royal-inspired narcistic hero shooter we have today is very far away from what I desire in a Battlefield game.
And we desperately miss all the community functionalities (both in the game and online battlelog/forum) to make players feel they 'belong' and have desire to come back for more and more of it!

As an old timer I agree with everything you said, it is becoming very difficult just to bring myself to play this game. @CyberDyme yeah the chat in game is full of people raging at the lower levelled players. A lot of name calling Can see a lot of people being put off by it. I personally just ignore it. It’s kind of self defeating because the more players leave the less players reach a high skill level which means less competition for the people raging. I’m a new player and I have received a welcoming response from the community on here. I was actually surprised by it but it’s like anything there’s a mix of good and the bad.
