What is 1918?
Battlefield 1918 is a total conversion modification for Battlefield 1942. This game, made by Electronic Arts and Dice in 2002, is one of the very few first person shooters that manages to put you straight onto a complex battlefield. As a player, you are able to use a broad variety of tactics and situations to your advantage. Next to the typical FPS elements, you are also able to drive vehicles, fly planes or even take the command over a battleship. Because of this, Battlefield 1942 manages to bring the chaos of a real battlefield to life on your computer screen.
Battlefield 1918 takes Battlefield 1942 into a whole new scenario, the first world war. Next to historically correct equipments and vehicles, we try to recreate the atmosphere of these WW1 battlefields as close as we can, keeping in mind the game we're working with. To achieve this, we've drastically changed the gameplay from the original game like so that you must now rely on teamwork, artillery, trenches and slow vehicles.
Battlefield 1918 combines fun with historical correctness, gaming with history, the memory of one of the most terrifying wars mankind has ever known, with fun had by people over the internet. Next to the battles fought on the Western front between mostly the Germans, the British and the French, we'll also cover other scenarios, such as the Turkish battlefields at Gallipoli, or the Eastern front where Germany and Austria-Hungaria fought against Russia. Next to land- and airbattles using historic weapons and vehicles, we're also planning on covering the naval aspect of WW1 in a broad spectrum, as this was the time in which the great battleships still were the absolute rulers of the seas.
Our website has been created using a modern system called Dotlan, which enables us to offer all of the necessary information in three different languages. At the moment, most of the content is available in both German, English and French. Next to all kinds of information regarding the game itself, we also have a quite elaborate history databank filled with articles well worth a read. We keep our community up to date on a nearly daily basis about the progress of the game as well as the history behind it. Our forum reaches about 130 posts per day coming from about 1000 active members. With about 5000 visitors each day, we're now one of the well known sources for WW1 material on the net.
Over 10000 players play Battlefield 1918 per month, a number in which the regular players have a fair share. World War One rages on three official servers and several by clans or privately set up servers. This makes Battlefield 1918 one of the top mods in the scene, but also the currently most played game around the first world war.
With over 40 members, the Battlefield 1918 team is one of the biggest in the modding scene. We work each day to broaden this mod even further, to further improve on the fun and feel of the game. All of this is done on a non commercial basis and is mostly a hobby project. However, we do make use of modern technology in the development of the mod. Next to a CVS system, which enables multiple developers to coordinate their work and work together, we make use of modern 3D programs, graphical programs and the tools made for modding this game by EA and Dice. All developments come from careful planning and a coordinated team.
A large team of betatesters makes sure that the usual high level of quality is preserved. Only those vehicles, weapons, sounds, images, videos and maps that we deem appropriate for the public to see will be published.
We're currently still working hard on Battlefield 1918 and we'd like to express our thanks to EA and Dice for making this great game called Battlefield 1942. Without this, we wouldn't be able to create this mod we're making here.
"These guys take 'total conversation' to a new level. I love how they focus on the little stuff, gives the game a whole new type of environment...not to mention how hard they work and damn there's a daily update on something new.
Great job guys."
"I think this is the most professional mod for BF1942 out there. All the models/skins are of the same quality, the news is informative and well written, it caters to three languages, it listens to its players, its devs are friendly, and the release system is specific and well organised.
Hats off to BF1918!"

1918 - what is it?
the last year the red sox will even dream of winnin the world series
yankees suck
mets rule
1918 was the time when babe ruth's daddy pulled a "beowulf" look it up on this site on the red (sux) sox
What does "1918" mean?
Rebuttal used by moronic sports fans of the New York Yankees when anyone from the city of Boston, be they Red Sox fan or otherwise, expresses anything less than adulation for baseball's most fiscally immodest franchise.
Bahstonian: My, Derek Jeter's batting average is rather low this year, isn't it?
Noo Yawker: Uh, yeah? Well, uh, 1918!!!!!
1918 - what does it mean?
The last time those whiny bastards in Boston ever had anything to cheer about in baseball. Too bad it was 86 years ago.
The Bronx fans cheer "1918" as the Red Sox go off the field following another defeat at the hands of the Yankees.
1918 - meaning
The year that the Curse of Babe Ruth was put into effect, which it still is. The way it works is that the Boston Red Sox will never win the World Series unless an innocent bystander gets fatally shot in the face by the Boston Police with a beanbag full of pepper spray during a riot.
Thus will begin a new custom in Boston where, at the beginning of each season, the townsfolk will bust up the neighborhood surrounding Fenway Park while the police sacrifice a virgin on the pitcher's mound. All in the name of beating the Yankees.
1918 - definition
a year/number that now means absolutely nothing
Yankoff fan: 1918!!!
Sox fan: What the hell are you talking about? Yo John listen to this guy he's yelling random years at me, get a life loser!
1918 - slang
A now obselete insult used by fans of the New York Yankees. Prior to the 2004 World Series, the Red Sox had not won a World Series since 1918. Some say that the Red Sox trading Babe Ruth so that the owner could fund a broadway play was the cause of a curse, which ended the Red Sox dynasty of the early 20th century, and would cause them to lose when they DID reach the World Series. The same people who thought up this 'curse' crap also wear tinfoil hats to protect against government mind control satellites.
Unfortunately for Yankees fans, they will have to think up a more unique insult to cheer at Red Sox-Yankees games at the Stadium, because with the departure of Pedro Martinez, the 'Whos Your Daddy' chant has lost it's meaning.
Yankees Fan: 1918! 1918!
Red Sox Fan: 2004! 2004! The year we won again, and the Yankees performed the biggest choke in the history of sports!
Yankees Fan: DOH! Oh well, you won't win next year since The Boss is going to cake over our multi-million dollar roster with an even MORE multi-million dollar roster, further ruining what little chemistry our all-star team has!
1918
The year that the curse of Babe Ruth was put into effect. Supposedly broken when the Red Sox won in 2004, it was, in fact, only redefined: apparently the way it works is that the Red Sox will only win the World Series every 86 years.
Save your strength, Red Sox fans. Come 2090, you can burn down your city all over again.
1918
The year in which World War I ended. Also the second-to-last time that the Boston Red Sox won the World Series; i.e.: the last time that they won the World Series without an innocent bystander being fatally shot in the face during a post-American League Championship victory riot; i.e.: the last time that they won the World Series without a certain group of their fans having blood on their hands.
Victoria Snelgrove, age 21, died at the hands of Boston riot police after Game 7 of the 2004 American League Championship Series. She was shot in the face with a blunt trauma/pepper spray projectile when a victory celebration outside of Fenway Park soon descended into hooliganism. Red Sox outfielder Trot Nixon said he would have traded back Boston's victory in the ALCS to bring her back.
