As soon as I loaded foxhole I met a dude that spent 40 minutes walking noobs around and telling us the game mechanics. The dude sounded like a general, was very professional and focused on the task. It was incredible. As soon as he was done with our tour, he collected another group of players and did it again. What a legend.
Not gonna lie, I feel a little giddy when I hear people yelling "for the pile" in the distance nowadays :D "May your mercy shine upon my face, as I join the pile in eternal grace"
Legend. Well, he did the facilities thing in the resistance phase after 113.... and now the devs announced that they're adding a facilities section to the home region "tutorial" area :D
What a beautiful review. Thank you for playing and thank you for joining the community. It makes us very happy and energized to continue developing the game for hopefully many more years of desperate battles, being overrun by logi trucks and of course.... more corpses for the pile!
Same for me here, I picked up the game almost four years ago, and the main barrier for me playing was going and talking to people. Because I wanted to play it so badly I managed to work through some of my social anxiety and it’s helped my life out in general because of that. The interactions in foxhole are the kind I can’t get anywhere else.
Same here, I don't know if I would have just become more extroverted with age, but I have no doubt that foxhole accellerated the process. It's fun and since coordination is such a force multiplier it really does push you towards using the vc. Even though I really need to touch grass now, I am very glad that I picked up this game and came out of my shell more because of it.
Ohgod It's the high priest of the pile himself Um um *bows down* *starts collecting more bodies for the pile* May your mercy shine upon may face as I join the pile in eternal grace
So much great footage in this one! It's really impressive how much interaction there is in the game. And this is even more mind-blowing if you consider that all people around you are from different countries.
Yeah. I don't think I have footage of it, but when that Crumb guy was asking people to be pirates, he wanted to ask one guy and the guy next to him said "he only understands spanish, but I can speak english and spanish." We had a TRANSLATOR. And yesterday I was teaching a couple of newbies and when one of them saw the Argenti rifle, he said "I like this name, it sounds italian" then they found out that they were both Italians hahaha
I've been looking for a video to send to my irl buddies to try and convince them to take the plunge on Foxhole and I think I just found it. This is such a great representation, you touched on a lot of different stuff that you can do in the game and the footage is excellent. Only thing I disagree with is switching sides, you filthy traitor ;) Colonials forever o7
I had seen Foxhole on Steam but not really understood what the game was about prior to seeing this video but now I definitely want to play! Wish I had seen a video like this sooner :) Thanks!
2:04 I once saw a player ask a question in world and 4 answers came up in 30s Really like this review, focus on gameplay examples The gameplay role transition is smooth as hell too
Thanks :D now I'm regretting not labeling that clip where a new guy was EXTREMELY excited to learn how to play as the side gunner on a gunboat and the whole crew was extremely supportive hahaha
"This game turned me into an extrovert" For me this brought me back to being an online extrovert. We are all gonna be awkward online - if you *just do it* with "it" being whatever needs to be done but no one is doing trust me folks.... everyone will jump in to help. Yo it's Knight of the Tree tutorial facility! I walked by his place during one Resistance phase and he asked if i could teach some folks while he got some supplies. I taught them AI, setting spawn and how to do infantry well". He was a cool dude even if he's a dirty Colonial loyalist ;)
That's true. That's how I started talking to people- by playing medic. A lot. lmao hahahha Woah, a Warden Taking over a Collies training facility during resistance phase?! Now that's something hahaha :D
Thanks for the review Brother...it does look like a raucous time! =) Another great game that Im currently playing is Chivalry 2, very intense multiplayer medieval melee game.
That was a great review, very funny and very true to the spirit of Foxhole! Some epic moments captured there.... subbed (but not the underwater kind ;) ) - Thanks!
I started playing Foxhole back in December 2018. I don't play now, but I still keep in touch with your videos. Maybe next time you could create a video about your gripes with Foxhole or your suggestions to the devs. I think Bear also made something like that before.
Dude, great vid. Really enjoyed how each talking point had a sensical transition. You've got talent and I look forward to seeing your content on my feed 🫡
I just picked up this game recently. I play a lot of tactical games with tough learning curves, and Foxhole isn't so bad in that regard. It's just the MMO element that still perplexes me. But I really want to learn.
There are some places full of bushes to hide in, I think it's in my "guess I'll be a pirate" video. We hid like 12 guys in bushes while waiting for a poor soul to pass by
Yes! I mentioned this the other day. Though I was in favor of thick forests, as jungles would be muddy and I hate mud in this game. But yeah, we need terrain that can accommodate a decent fight and is difficult for armor to penetrate. Give the inf more responsibility / opportunity. Especially late game
You put very well the feeling of the game by saying "being pulled into random adventures". Random interactions with random people are what make the best moments in the game. And I also am not very talkative in person, lol. 10 shirts out of 10. Would recommend.
@@BlueLaminate It's always some clan dude in an armored car + a cargo truck full of HE grenades + a mortar who is like "I need volunteers!" just moving around the world trying to take out a relic base we ended up running into a brand new flanking Bunker Base and a buuunnnccchhh of defenses, we started HEing the defenses and the commanded went back for more HE's, by the the time he returned the area was cleared of defenses and we were under intense fire from 2 machine guns + a tank. He called his clan and they sent 3 tanks over, splashed that tank and our group (now 10-12 people + 3 tanks + 1 mortar) rolled over the enemy all the way to their relic base. This drew enemies from the main fight and within 2 hours the main fight had destroyed 2 Bunker Bases and were linked up with us sieging the relic base. That 2 hour fight trying to tie up Collies was so epic. Barely any supplies, just pure teamwork. By the end of the 2 hours we were down to pistols + HE grenades and a handful of rifles (the tanks had to leave because of the AT fire). When our teams logistics finally broke through it was so so so nice. Really felt like we were being relieved after a desperate Stalingrad style battle.
Great review! You really showed the thing I love most about Foxhole. What sets it apart from every other MMO is that there are no quests or missions or set roles, the game doesn't *tell* you what your objective should be or how to win the war, you just figure it out yourself. Like you said, the roles all tie in to each other and every one is essential. The whole game is about players creating stories for other players, rather than having the developers decide the plot.
Now you got me thinking that I should've showcased a battlefield problem, the limited supplies we had, and people discussing how best to use those supplies to solve the problem hahhaha
I tried the game out a few days ago but refunded it because it felt too complicated to try learning it for 2 hours only to find out I don't actually like it. Today, I decided to buy it again because of your channel. Hoping to learn and help the war effort.
Well, foxhole isn't for everyone, but like I said in the video there's soooo many complicated mechanics but you don't have to do them all at once. (I still don't know how to build most of the big things hahaha) I hope you find a role in the game that you actually enjoy :)
@@BlueLaminate I'm actually quite willing to actually try this time, so much so that I might leave the game running in the main menu for 2 hours so I haven't got a choice. I like these types of games, but never played one this... complex. And I am willing to learn so I can have le epic funny war moments.
Ace here again. Let me know the next time you go Warden I’m always done for an adventure. Very good review really new player friendly and should get people to want and buy the game!
Well, I'll probably run into you anyway the next time I go Warden. I haven't actually played too much this was (114), I feel like i'm missing out on being a collie as it is though😅
@@BlueLaminate same I’ve only put a few hours in and its all been medic to do something different. Got quite a few days off coming up so probably back to logi during that.
Guardsman is great to tank with. Dude once got so pissed at the enemy tank line that he got a public Bardiche like 2 or 3 hexes away, drove it up to the front lines and kept daring the wardens to kill it while I struggled to gun hahaha It was glorious. I should find a way to get that incident into a video hahaha
Same. I've tanked with him a couple of times. Once he got so pissed at the enemy tank line, that out of pure determination and sheer forking will, he pulled a public bardiche 3 hexes away and drove it to the front line to yell at the wardens saying "IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT?! THIS IS A BARDICHE." I should've looked for that clip and stuck it in this review hahaha
I played for about 2 hours yesterday. I'm still a new player but I'm enjoying playing. Held a bridge on the Briar River for an hour b4 one of the factions blew it up. We kept going to the enemy side and hiding in their trenches. All the time I was trying to figure out how VC worked and how I'd know if I was talking.( still have no idea BTW XD)
I was at 0:29 [MP宪兵队][银魂] So glad we were in a landing craft...DEATH! If we joinedgame on last November, we will be the same group of players Didn't expect you recorded me then, thank you ,with our glorious assault bro ✊
I only played a little bit because my PC is aging to hell and back but I love shit like this I hope Siege Engine does well with the medieval game they're making cause good lord, if Foxhole is anything to go off of, shit like this is always a gem
I really hope Anvil Empires does well without taking too much from Foxholes playerbase :D I've been trying to get in the Alpha tests for Anvil Empires, but I haven't won the RNG lottery for a test invite code yet hahahhaa
I wasn't finished modeling barges yet when I made that (I used the barges dropping off toy soldiers for other videos later on) so I just said screw it, benchy will do 😆 I almost put a gun on a benchy to show a gunboat too lol
Say love your vid and do hope to see you in the battlefield either as a friendly or enemy, but I think you missed an underrated role which be combat engineer Description: helps build Frontline fortifications like wt and pillboxes and repairs tanks to reduce repair time and risk. And loots the battlefield for handy items like cutlers or lunairs
Cardinal rule of Foxhole should be ABH: Always Be Helpful. You see someone building, digging, bleeding, hauling...pitch in for 5-10 minutes. People severely underestimate how powerful simple teamwork and community can be.
Just picked the game up today and I would love for them to add some sort of airfocrce to the game for the start one type of fighter, attack aircraft and bomber etc and when you would get shot down you could be able to bail out and land behind enemy lines then maybe try to get back to friendly lines or if not so luck get picked up by the enemy
Believe me, we'd all love that, it's become a bit of a meme lately to have the "they should add planes to the game" talk lol. Devs said they have big plans for 2025, so fingers crossed. The community has discussed how it could be implemented and the whole assortment of issues that would need to be solved at length hahaha
@@BlueLaminate I really hope they add planes in the near future it would add an amazing new depth to the game bringing to the table with it new sick ways to fight battles and as of whole new tactics plus new weapons because planes = anti aircraft weaponry etc imagine how cool would it would be to be able to be apart of a 4-5 people bomber crew or a solo fighter ace striking fear in the hearts of enemies with just your name… in that one video of yours where you were trapped on the small island what if there was an airbase there so you could do an airlift evacuation it would be like Stalingrad 2.0… PLEASE DEVS GIVE US PLANES if we get them mark my words I’ll be one of the first to gain recognition up in the sky amongst the clouds
I tried it out after watching the vid, and had a wonderful time. The first 30 mins to an hour was a lot of reading, highlighting the depth of the gameplay. Afterwards, met some new players looking for others to hold a bridge for logi trucks. Pure chaos for the next hour 😂 felt like a headless chicken
You had fun... on a bridge fight? Are you okay? Just kidding HAHAHAHA most people don't like bridge fights of any kind, but I'm glad you had some fun hahahha
@@BlueLaminate lol the bridge really forces you to communicate with others. I learned to build/repair stuff, heal others, and a mix of combat roles from others during that session. I'm going to try some mid-line logi or naval today. See you on the battlefield.
Only game that is like foxhole would be specific servers for arma 3 liberation. Logistics are necessary and are all handled by real players. Artillery is operated by actual people and being called in over radio by actual people. Getting inserted to an AO or battle is done by ground or air logistics units.
Well... I do only cover a niche indie game for now hahaha On the furries bit, I probably should've put context on the steam review shown in the video, that's just a running gag in the community. If you see the foxhole art on reddit or the discord though, you will find a good number of furries tbh lol
@@BlueLaminate oh i know very mush what you mean no need for context XD tho it's maybe a niche game but i think the most important is the person play it, i don't play foxhole but still watch video cause i like the youtubers that do videos on it
I am learning russian due to foxhole, so I can tank with russian, friod = forward, nazat= backward, daway= go or lets go kill them bastards Also about teams just being friendly to eachother, I got healed by a colonial medic as a warden three times before finally getting killed.
Actually I've been trying to not have so much Island LARP videos - because I found out that that was most of my content lmao Though I did have an um.... "Navy-ish" video in the works. Not sure if I'll post that one though
That's true, that's around when peak time is for me too. I don't think I could play this game the way I do if my working hours weren't so... strange. Regardless though, a little bit of the fun stuff does happen on our "normal" time, it's just A LOT rarer. The battle of Sagitta happened over the course of several days, and ended at around 2am PDT, which was probably around 5 or 6pm for you. Lots of Americans stayed up LATE for that one hahaha. The first 2 silver videos basically happened all day. Some naval invasions happened at off-peak hours to capitalize on low pop.
@@BlueLaminate yea interesting things for us happens rarer, i remember i first time feeled a REAL war, there was a hundred people and we returned our territory it was so fun. Sad that this happened for me only once but that one time was exctremly fun i played 1.5 hours but i feeled like 20 min
Steam sale just ended and the game just updated so I'm not sure if it'll go on sale any time soon :( The update this war is some quality of life stuff, a couple of new boats, weather stuff and rivers can freeze over. Oh and trenches can flood now, the trench foot update hahaha
In my opinion, Foxhole is absolutely worth the full pricetag, but if you are not sure if it'll be your thing, I'd wait for a sale. 30 bucks are still 30 bucks after all
I'll stick to the propaganda, thanks hahaha On a more serious note, as far as I know in the lore, collies are either seen as the invaders or liberators. Guess the lore's covered in a bit of the fog of war as well lol I do play wardens every 5 wars or so, the last time being War 111. Oh no. I have to make a decision soon hahaha
Because of the lack of good new player tutorials i think new players opinions of foxhole replies extremely heavily on the first few hours you play and the first few groups you run into. While most of the community is very good, if you run into the not good ones while youre still feeling the game out, itll completely turn you off of it
Can confirm. In my first war I played Warden, met some nice people there and met almost no nice colonials, even outside of the game (in fact a guy i had friended on steam refused to give me a tutorial lest I switch to collie). I kept playing because of those first nice people and turned Warden loyalist after my experiences failed to improve and am now at ~2k hours. Had anything in the first few wars been different, I don't know how much would be different now.
Well... depends on what you count as "normal". Sometimes people play seriously, and other times people LARP very hard. Probably also depends on the timezone. Though if you're referring to the player counts right now, we're waiting for the next war to start so nobody is really playing now, in the in between war period.
I cant stand this game. I played it for a month, in a stalemate. Any team I joined would not push. Enemy team would not push. It was just never ending taking turns dying for days, weeks, month.
Well nowadays wars last for about a month but before I played the game, there was a war that they called "the forever war" the fight lasted 3+months and everyone was absolutely exhausted. So If you were in that one, I can't fault your sentiment. It sounded very slow. I too dislike frontlines that don't move (unless I just want to talk to people), so the solution is well... there's a website called foxholestats that can tell you how many deaths there are per side in a region. If a lot of people are dying in an area, it's almost never a static front where nobody is trying to push :)
I play Warden occasionally :( Honestly, after my first war I thought I'd be a warden loyalist, but I played goblin on my second war just to see the other side. I've played Warden 2 times ever since (note that I got foxhole just last year)
It's actually kind of funny, that is what made me pick Warden. I saw a review of the game and was intrigued, but everybody appeared to be playing Collie, I barely saw any Warden content at all. So I got curious about what that side looked and played like, signed up and met some nice Wardens and some unironically rude Colonials in my first couple wars. Whilst I have now found nice and horrible people from both sides, it was those initial experiences that made me stay. I've never switched off Warden since and it is doubtful I ever will.
Yeah the community is great!... Bigger clans (On the same side/team as yourself) that will get out of their way and own effeciency to kill any solo logi player that dares running to close to a field they apperantly "Claimed". This is a great way to make people quit entirely. At its current stage the game is terrible for solo logi players
That's sad to hear, maybe I should engage in logi a bit more :( Now that I think of it, on the few times that I do solo logi, I do it at very, very off peak hours (mostly for... social reasons like I said in the video) or in less active areas like in Stema. Maybe I should try solo logi at peak times, though that's in the really early hours of the morning for me.
As someone who does Solo Logi, I have never had an issue with clans when it comes to gathering resources. Tankers getting cranky when you accidentally block them sure but I never had someone tell me to stop scrooping.
You shouldn't normally have problems like these. The only thing I can think of is clans building facilities on a resource field but even in that situation, you should normally always be able to gather resources from the field still. Maybe coal and oil are different stories though, but components, scrap, and sulfur, what you're describing is very looked down upon by the vet community
reading these replies, i must've been very unlucky in my encounters.. Maybe i've judged to soon, thanks folks for the replies that this infact is not the norm, wich i believed it was after having it happen multiple times
Gotta love all the CFR✚ videos! Those were really good times that I remember fondly. Even funnier to be featured during the artillery section despite us being a medical regiment xD Sure took a lot of patience to organize those ops but I was damn happy people were enjoying themselves
As soon as I loaded foxhole I met a dude that spent 40 minutes walking noobs around and telling us the game mechanics. The dude sounded like a general, was very professional and focused on the task. It was incredible. As soon as he was done with our tour, he collected another group of players and did it again. What a legend.
omg, this sounds so cool man
The glorious pile should always live on. It is lived on for many years now and I’m still so happy to see it here still.

Praise the pile
PRAISE THE PILE, LONG LIVE SILVER

The guy teaching facilities at 1:50 is in the same regiment as me and taught me how to build them to
Legend. Well, he did the facilities thing in the resistance phase after 113.... and now the devs announced that they're adding a facilities section to the home region "tutorial" area :D
Yeah he is mostly a medic now and is taking a break from foxhole

@@BlueLaminate I'm actually quite willing to actually try this time, so much so that I might leave the game running in the main menu for 2 hours so I haven't got a choice.
I like these types of games, but never played one this... complex.
And I am willing to learn so I can have le epic funny war moments.
Holy shit, how have I never heard of this game?
Ace here again. Let me know the next time you go Warden I’m always done for an adventure. Very good review really new player friendly and should get people to want and buy the game!
Well, I'll probably run into you anyway the next time I go Warden.
I haven't actually played too much this was (114), I feel like i'm missing out on being a collie as it is though😅
@@BlueLaminate same I’ve only put a few hours in and its all been medic to do something different. Got quite a few days off coming up so probably back to logi during that.
To show people the level you get to with people... I love Guardsman 6:30 Guy is so great to tank with!
Guardsman is great to tank with. Dude once got so pissed at the enemy tank line that he got a public Bardiche like 2 or 3 hexes away, drove it up to the front lines and kept daring the wardens to kill it while I struggled to gun hahaha
It was glorious. I should find a way to get that incident into a video hahaha
Guardsman is my favorite person to tank with. I love him.
Same. I've tanked with him a couple of times. Once he got so pissed at the enemy tank line, that out of pure determination and sheer forking will, he pulled a public bardiche 3 hexes away and drove it to the front line to yell at the wardens saying "IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT?! THIS IS A BARDICHE." I should've looked for that clip and stuck it in this review hahaha
I played for about 2 hours yesterday. I'm still a new player but I'm enjoying playing. Held a bridge on the Briar River for an hour b4 one of the factions blew it up. We kept going to the enemy side and hiding in their trenches. All the time I was trying to figure out how VC worked and how I'd know if I was talking.( still have no idea BTW XD)
6:16 'tanking requires two or three people' actively shows a multi-boxer
6:27 Literally frenchie from the boys
I was at 0:29 [MP宪兵队][银魂] So glad we were in a landing craft...DEATH! If we joinedgame on last November, we will be the same group of players
Didn't expect you recorded me then, thank you ,with our glorious assault bro ✊
This is the best ad for foxhole
Thanks, Siege camp pls hire me hahaha jk XD
So..... when I replied to that comment, I didn't know that you we're a foxhole dev. Oops o.o
Thanks for the game :)
9:03 "Some people switch factions every war, and that is fine."
- Spoken like a casual Warden
Well, I am a casual warden on my warden wars so you're right I guess hahahha
I only played a little bit because my PC is aging to hell and back but I love shit like this
I hope Siege Engine does well with the medieval game they're making cause good lord, if Foxhole is anything to go off of, shit like this is always a gem
I really hope Anvil Empires does well without taking too much from Foxholes playerbase :D
I've been trying to get in the Alpha tests for Anvil Empires, but I haven't won the RNG lottery for a test invite code yet hahahhaa
3:18 Hahaha, I wasn't expecting to see 3D Benchies as game pieces 🤣
I wasn't finished modeling barges yet when I made that (I used the barges dropping off toy soldiers for other videos later on) so I just said screw it, benchy will do 😆
I almost put a gun on a benchy to show a gunboat too lol
I forgot about the corpse pile, good memories.
"The pile is eternal" - Some guy at Plankhouse last war
Genuinely, how ON EARTH does like EVERY new content creator end up playing bloody collie xD GLORY TO CALLAHAN.
Well, there is Bambam..... and I started as a Warden but um... oops. lol
Hey that's me commanding the lines! Long love the pile
2:00 so it was you
🤭
Bro is happy he’s have social interaction.
Say love your vid and do hope to see you in the battlefield either as a friendly or enemy, but I think you missed an underrated role which be combat engineer
Description: helps build Frontline fortifications like wt and pillboxes and repairs tanks to reduce repair time and risk. And loots the battlefield for handy items like cutlers or lunairs
True. I even had a combat engineer clip in the vid where I got flattened by an HTD lmao
Also probably should've put in loot goblin/scavenger HAHAHAHA
introvert in irl extrovert in games
“high priest of the Pile” 😅😅😅
Cardinal rule of Foxhole should be ABH: Always Be Helpful. You see someone building, digging, bleeding, hauling...pitch in for 5-10 minutes.
People severely underestimate how powerful simple teamwork and community can be.
Force multiplication is not well studied by most people.
Based take, you can make people very happy with very minimal effort
Just picked the game up today and I would love for them to add some sort of airfocrce to the game for the start one type of fighter, attack aircraft and bomber etc and when you would get shot down you could be able to bail out and land behind enemy lines then maybe try to get back to friendly lines or if not so luck get picked up by the enemy
Believe me, we'd all love that, it's become a bit of a meme lately to have the "they should add planes to the game" talk lol. Devs said they have big plans for 2025, so fingers crossed. The community has discussed how it could be implemented and the whole assortment of issues that would need to be solved at length hahaha
@@BlueLaminate I really hope they add planes in the near future it would add an amazing new depth to the game bringing to the table with it new sick ways to fight battles and as of whole new tactics plus new weapons because planes = anti aircraft weaponry etc imagine how cool would it would be to be able to be apart of a 4-5 people bomber crew or a solo fighter ace striking fear in the hearts of enemies with just your name… in that one video of yours where you were trapped on the small island what if there was an airbase there so you could do an airlift evacuation it would be like Stalingrad 2.0… PLEASE DEVS GIVE US PLANES if we get them mark my words I’ll be one of the first to gain recognition up in the sky amongst the clouds
this video made me buy the game and its awesome
1:02 I WAS THERE!!! :D (off-screen , but i was there)
I tried it out after watching the vid, and had a wonderful time. The first 30 mins to an hour was a lot of reading, highlighting the depth of the gameplay. Afterwards, met some new players looking for others to hold a bridge for logi trucks. Pure chaos for the next hour 😂 felt like a headless chicken
You had fun... on a bridge fight? Are you okay? Just kidding HAHAHAHA most people don't like bridge fights of any kind, but I'm glad you had some fun hahahha
@@BlueLaminate lol the bridge really forces you to communicate with others. I learned to build/repair stuff, heal others, and a mix of combat roles from others during that session. I'm going to try some mid-line logi or naval today. See you on the battlefield.
Ya sold me on it. I just got Foxhole on the summer sale. ^^
I hope I'm not a bad influence, hope you have fun hahaha
@@BlueLaminate We'll see XD Right now Im looking into the videos you suggested to see how to play >x
The fact i know a lot of these players make me happy
Only game that is like foxhole would be specific servers for arma 3 liberation. Logistics are necessary and are all handled by real players. Artillery is operated by actual people and being called in over radio by actual people. Getting inserted to an AO or battle is done by ground or air logistics units.
* realizes that I bought Arma 3 but never installed it *
How is it possible that you don't have more subscribers ? i've just find your channel and i already love it ( all furries are not wierdos tho TwT)
Well... I do only cover a niche indie game for now hahaha
On the furries bit, I probably should've put context on the steam review shown in the video, that's just a running gag in the community. If you see the foxhole art on reddit or the discord though, you will find a good number of furries tbh lol
@@BlueLaminate oh i know very mush what you mean no need for context XD tho it's maybe a niche game but i think the most important is the person play it, i don't play foxhole but still watch video cause i like the youtubers that do videos on it
I am learning russian due to foxhole, so I can tank with russian, friod = forward, nazat= backward, daway= go or lets go kill them bastards
Also about teams just being friendly to eachother, I got healed by a colonial medic as a warden three times before finally getting killed.
* writes those russian words down *
Poyekhali! Let's GO! 😊
Foxhole is a game that is impossible to explain to someone. They just have to try it xD
Hell Let Loose God Mode
I wanted to get into it but i feel like i really sucked or my internet couldnt handle it
5:10 its me :D
This game is brilliant!
it is :D
Yo it nozza. Front line scroopin
Thank you, my brother in scroop. We stayed true to the scroop till the end o7

How does he do it?
btw I hope we get a navy video
Actually I've been trying to not have so much Island LARP videos - because I found out that that was most of my content lmao
Though I did have an um.... "Navy-ish" video in the works. Not sure if I'll post that one though
@@BlueLaminate ok cool. for some reason I keep thinking you are from Singapore I HAVE NO CLUE why.
This game is amazing but i live in another time zone and all fun is happening when its 3:00-4:00 for me and bc i cant feel all the fun😭
That's true, that's around when peak time is for me too. I don't think I could play this game the way I do if my working hours weren't so... strange.
Regardless though, a little bit of the fun stuff does happen on our "normal" time, it's just A LOT rarer.
The battle of Sagitta happened over the course of several days, and ended at around 2am PDT, which was probably around 5 or 6pm for you. Lots of Americans stayed up LATE for that one hahaha. The first 2 silver videos basically happened all day. Some naval invasions happened at off-peak hours to capitalize on low pop.
@@BlueLaminate yea interesting things for us happens rarer, i remember i first time feeled a REAL war, there was a hundred people and we returned our territory it was so fun. Sad that this happened for me only once but that one time was exctremly fun i played 1.5 hours but i feeled like 20 min
nice
Not gonna lie, It's actually look fun to me. Should I wait for a discount or just buy it straight away ?
Steam sale just ended and the game just updated so I'm not sure if it'll go on sale any time soon :(
The update this war is some quality of life stuff, a couple of new boats, weather stuff and rivers can freeze over.
Oh and trenches can flood now, the trench foot update hahaha
In my opinion, Foxhole is absolutely worth the full pricetag, but if you are not sure if it'll be your thing, I'd wait for a sale. 30 bucks are still 30 bucks after all
Hold on, can someone be a spy and sabotage your team by feeding information to the other team?
That's very much against the rules. You can't even have 2 people in the same household on opposite teams in the same war or you'll be IP banned iirc.
the only thing stoping me from buying is the negative reviews on steam
Well I can say that as long as you're nice & have a mic, there are way more nice players than toxic players here :)
I miss being a LCpl but at least I'm still chrispy
I was surprised to see that you were like, WO2 already when I saw you again hahaha :D
Dude I'm a Lt
@BlueLaminate bro I'm an Lt with my own regi now
*wipes tear* wow guess you really liked foxhole hahahhaha :)
@@BlueLaminate yep. Do you still play.
Try Hell Let Loose, it is somewhat similar social experience
....I actually JUST bought Hell Let Loose 😅
You just got me to spend $32.73
another reason why I need to trade my PS5 for a gaming P.C...
Just don't give up when you transition to mouse and keyboard, that shit is hard when first starting out
bro it's not fox hole that u can talk to everyone, u can talk to boyzzz
Do you want to win for once join the wardens today we are the good guys as the collies are the evil invaders
I'll stick to the propaganda, thanks hahaha
On a more serious note, as far as I know in the lore, collies are either seen as the invaders or liberators. Guess the lore's covered in a bit of the fog of war as well lol
I do play wardens every 5 wars or so, the last time being War 111. Oh no. I have to make a decision soon hahaha
онлайн маловат в этой игре, очень жаль
Because of the lack of good new player tutorials i think new players opinions of foxhole replies extremely heavily on the first few hours you play and the first few groups you run into. While most of the community is very good, if you run into the not good ones while youre still feeling the game out, itll completely turn you off of it
Can confirm. In my first war I played Warden, met some nice people there and met almost no nice colonials, even outside of the game (in fact a guy i had friended on steam refused to give me a tutorial lest I switch to collie). I kept playing because of those first nice people and turned Warden loyalist after my experiences failed to improve and am now at ~2k hours. Had anything in the first few wars been different, I don't know how much would be different now.
Is fox hole worth buying today?
For the right person, yeah hahaha
In foxhole normal online or no?
Well... depends on what you count as "normal". Sometimes people play seriously, and other times people LARP very hard. Probably also depends on the timezone. Though if you're referring to the player counts right now, we're waiting for the next war to start so nobody is really playing now, in the in between war period.
You are called bluelaminate and then play as a goblin 😂
Well..... I did play warden first 😂
today is 2024, not 2017. I feel like I should do my duty by saying "Shit Game"
I cant stand this game. I played it for a month, in a stalemate. Any team I joined would not push. Enemy team would not push. It was just never ending taking turns dying for days, weeks, month.
Well nowadays wars last for about a month but before I played the game, there was a war that they called "the forever war" the fight lasted 3+months and everyone was absolutely exhausted. So If you were in that one, I can't fault your sentiment. It sounded very slow.
I too dislike frontlines that don't move (unless I just want to talk to people), so the solution is well... there's a website called foxholestats that can tell you how many deaths there are per side in a region.
If a lot of people are dying in an area, it's almost never a static front where nobody is trying to push :)
Why did you have to be a goblin? Ur in the wrong trench line 😢
I play Warden occasionally :(
Honestly, after my first war I thought I'd be a warden loyalist, but I played goblin on my second war just to see the other side. I've played Warden 2 times ever since (note that I got foxhole just last year)
even thought i cant afford to buy the game so i just watch it, this game has made me racist to the people against green
(joke)
Ah yes, the propaganda is working >:D
@@BlueLaminate im a proud collie supporter
youtubers always pick colonials, this is why colonials lose so much
It's actually kind of funny, that is what made me pick Warden. I saw a review of the game and was intrigued, but everybody appeared to be playing Collie, I barely saw any Warden content at all. So I got curious about what that side looked and played like, signed up and met some nice Wardens and some unironically rude Colonials in my first couple wars. Whilst I have now found nice and horrible people from both sides, it was those initial experiences that made me stay. I've never switched off Warden since and it is doubtful I ever will.
Nice
Also first
I feel like I've made it as a yOuTuBeR now, someone put "FIRST" in my comments section HAHAHA :D
Yes you have (: yer a pretty funny Tuber
Yeah the community is great!... Bigger clans (On the same side/team as yourself) that will get out of their way and own effeciency to kill any solo logi player that dares running to close to a field they apperantly "Claimed". This is a great way to make people quit entirely. At its current stage the game is terrible for solo logi players
That's sad to hear, maybe I should engage in logi a bit more :(
Now that I think of it, on the few times that I do solo logi, I do it at very, very off peak hours (mostly for... social reasons like I said in the video) or in less active areas like in Stema. Maybe I should try solo logi at peak times, though that's in the really early hours of the morning for me.
As someone who does Solo Logi, I have never had an issue with clans when it comes to gathering resources.
Tankers getting cranky when you accidentally block them sure but I never had someone tell me to stop scrooping.
You shouldn't normally have problems like these. The only thing I can think of is clans building facilities on a resource field but even in that situation, you should normally always be able to gather resources from the field still. Maybe coal and oil are different stories though, but components, scrap, and sulfur, what you're describing is very looked down upon by the vet community
reading these replies, i must've been very unlucky in my encounters.. Maybe i've judged to soon, thanks folks for the replies that this infact is not the norm, wich i believed it was after having it happen multiple times
Me neither, I'm sure it'll happen eventually but it can't be all that common
Gotta love all the CFR✚ videos! Those were really good times that I remember fondly. Even funnier to be featured during the artillery section despite us being a medical regiment xD Sure took a lot of patience to organize those ops but I was damn happy people were enjoying themselves
The medic artillery battery was too good to not put in hahahaha
This video had me pulling clips from all of my hard drives, it was very nostalgic XD
