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.
It is one of the best community I played war 100 and i hope coming again soon There is a lot again to lurn Even the toxic players are fun and yall can get PTSD too in this game😂😂
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!
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"
I literally just started playing Foxhole today, like 4 hours ago. It was just 40 minutes before a war started, so we're fooling around at the home world. The complexity of everything was such a shock to me. I watched like an hour worth of TH-cam videos about the game but I was still unprepared. I went to the obstacle course & shooting range to practice the bare minimum. Then I noticed that there's a guy in public chat calling out for people who's interested in doing logi. I'm not even familiar with the combat system so I joined his logi squad to get familiar with this game. This guy gave very detailed & well thought out tutorials on how to gather & build & transport all the necessary resources, as if he had taught this lesson 100 times. The first 40 minutes of the game felt like taking a class back in middle school. And this logi guy has a whole squad of logi dudes & what they do 70% of the game was just logi stuff - hammering stuff, building stuff, trucking stuff. I felt like I'm playing a blue collar worker simulator. After a couple of hours, I bid farewell to the squad & deployed to the front. The front line was as chaotic as the best war movie you could imagine. I don't even know what button to press in many situations. However, every time when I'm frozen in place due to my noob nature, people around me will instantly notice & tell me what to do. I tried not to get in people's way & help pick up the wounded as much as I can. I don't know how to effectively push forward, so I lay down suppressing fire while I observe how people play. No one blames anyone for mistakes or not playing the game "correctly". Everyone is here to help each other & more importantly, to have fun. I'm glad I finally get my hands on this game. This is a gaming experience I've never had.
One moment your doing logi. The next everyone is sending you regi invites cause you spent an hour helping everyone build/maintain the Frontlines. Now. Your sending 120mm down on the wardens
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
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
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
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
"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
I don't know why this video was recommended to me, and this is the first time I've even heard about this game, but the concept is super cool, and it's hard to believe that it has a huge and consistent enough playerbase to make this work. I'm definitely going to check this out!
As a warden, I will confirm you will love the game as a Collie. All the Collies are furries, it is true, it is genetic. Do not listen to their claims that all Wardens are femboys, that is Colonial propaganda. No, that is not a dress in my closet
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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 ✊
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
Logi is my jam. Especially front line deliveries, man, so much fun! If you can get in a squad that has some infantry alliances it makes for an eventful evening!
More than a decade ago on an old account . I used to play ruse whit my friends . Unfortunately I don’t own that game anymore , and don’t have it in library . I always was found of ruse . This seems similar to, yet different . I came across the videos , and was curios right away . Wanted to try and play so bad , I just bought it and currently installing . Surprised it was so cheap , which does make me happy as well . I hope to have a good and fun experience like I have bin missing since the old days . I know I probley am consider a new noob , but still hope on understanding and other players kindness .
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
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.
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)
well, it's been a year since the whole "The Pile" incident, so I don't hear it as much anymore :( but the first 2 battle of silver videos on my channel kind of illustrate how that whole "the pile" thing went down lol Praise be to the pile!
@@BlueLaminate Haha, yeah don't worry I'm not expecting it to have become a staple of the game. It's the idea that something like that can emerge more so than the event itself. I will look at your videos though! Praise be the pile!
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
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.
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.
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
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
0:55 "Teamwork is incredible important" as a Widow gets stuck in between two BIKES. And yes, this actually works, and due to the way infantry-carried AT works, bikes are an absolute priority threat to tanks. If one gets behind you and blocks off your mobility, you're dead.
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
Compared to a couple years ago all this is a 2 out of 10. It used to be absolutely incredible. Full boot camps at new player spawns where people got judged and placed into squads and so much more. I try now but it’s just not the same anymore.
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.
I played this game a lot around 2016 till 2018.....you have no idea how I easily spend 8-12 hours playing in a day while thinking that I haven't been playing the game that long...even when I dies a lot, time feels so fast...
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.
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
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 tried it once and couldn't figure out how to really do much. I have no interest in the front line stuff, so I wanted to hang back and help with the supply chain stuff. However, there was nobody back there with me so I had to try figuring things out on my own. Eventually I just gave up and refunded it. I like the idea of it, but that experience just doesn't make me want to try it again anytime soon.
Honestly, I can't blame you if it was at a really off-peak time, that almost happened to me too (i came in half a year after the last major update) :( Foxhole just ain't right if you're alone :(
Logistic is best done in group/regiment, you can try again with T-3C LOGI in colonial or FMAT in warden, the squads are open so just find the squad in squad list and join, and press T to talk and say you are new, I am sure they will teach you or let you help with something It's on yearly discord 38% and an update war just started so it's good time to try out again
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.
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
Well some people use star wars mods, like lasers instead of tracers and clone troopers instead of soldiers. Pretty sure that he 501st clan does this, pretty sure they even have a guy named Rex with the rank of captain now
This game sounds interesting. I heard you mention "spotter" when talking about the artillery. That position is called the forward observer. I'm curious how deep the gameplay is for that role. Are you calling in grid coordinates? Clicking a spot to direct the artillery? How does that work?
Well, I think we just say spotter because it's quicker hahaha Usually the spotter has binoculars and are in squad chat with the artillery crew. For shorter ranges (like mortars) the spotter just sits next to the artillery guy and says a distance & azimuth direction (whatever the binoculars say), that's why you'll occasionally see 6 mortar guys sticking to a guy with binoculars. Adjust for wind after you see the shells land. For longer distances though.... there is some math, though I'm pretty sure that there's a website for it, for foxhole lol. If the target, spotter, and artillery piece are in line with each other, it's a lot easier.
You direct fire by bearing and range, wind adjustments required, Binoculars give you bearing and range relative to where you're standing and then must adjust to give instructions relative to guns position.
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
This game really intrigues me. Is this a game that I could find a lot of enjoyment in while only being able a play a couple hours each night? Or does this game require more of a time investment?
Still worth playing? I get turned off of older competitive games due to the skill floor being significantly developed. I usually have to jump on early while everyone is still learning in order to be competitive
Well.... I'm a filthy casual in this game, that's for sure. I don't know building metas too well, I can't "shadowdance" (The zigzag while shooting technique you occasionally see here) and I don't play in a clan (Not that all clans are sweaty, of course). And I'm having a pretty good time :) You don't need to know every aspect of the game to play, it's easy to just focus on one bit at a time- I'm 1000+ hours in and I've never built a facility hahaha
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
It is one of the best community
I played war 100 and i hope coming again soon
There is a lot again to lurn
Even the toxic players are fun and yall can get PTSD too in this game😂😂
what a legend
bro took the responsibily of being a tutorial
Dudes character build is a Drill Sargent. That's legendary lol
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!
Thank you for making such an amazing game. :)
Edit: Praise be to the pile
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.

I have been living under a rock! WTF!!!, I didn't know such a great game existed
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.
great video it really covers why we stick to the game
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
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 🫡
o7 Thank you for watching :D
Hey that's me commanding the lines! Long love the pile
7:13. That sounded so much like the HOI4 Naval invasion sound. My inner HOI4 player instinct kicked in and it scared me a little haha.
Well.... in foxhole, we do refer to "surrounding the enemy" as HOI4-ing them more often than not. It's a verb over here hahaha
@@BlueLaminate AHAHAHAHHA. Thats actually so funny. Encircling massive enemy divisions is every HOI4 player's dream.
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 ✊
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
@@BlueLaminate Great topic for your next video!
Logi is my jam. Especially front line deliveries, man, so much fun! If you can get in a squad that has some infantry alliances it makes for an eventful evening!
4:44 rest in peace my friend 😂
I recently tried to find a good video which explained the joy of the game for my friends. I think THIS is by far one of the best

*The outro is so adorable!
More than a decade ago on an old account . I used to play ruse whit my friends . Unfortunately I don’t own that game anymore , and don’t have it in library . I always was found of ruse . This seems similar to, yet different . I came across the videos , and was curios right away . Wanted to try and play so bad , I just bought it and currently installing . Surprised it was so cheap , which does make me happy as well . I hope to have a good and fun experience like I have bin missing since the old days . I know I probley am consider a new noob , but still hope on understanding and other players kindness .
Watched the whole thing wow great review
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
Never heard of thisngame until right now. It seems exactly what I was hoping Running With Rifles was.
Played in 2018 the last time but about to give it another go again! Looks like its come a super long way since then
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.
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)
The High Priest of the Pile bit just might make me take the jump. LOL!
well, it's been a year since the whole "The Pile" incident, so I don't hear it as much anymore :( but the first 2 battle of silver videos on my channel kind of illustrate how that whole "the pile" thing went down lol
Praise be to the pile!
@@BlueLaminate Haha, yeah don't worry I'm not expecting it to have become a staple of the game. It's the idea that something like that can emerge more so than the event itself. I will look at your videos though! Praise be the pile!
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 :)
Man bus driver at 2:07 Neon Tango is a war hero! o7
There isnt enough jungles Guerilla Warfare
I really wanna see more jungles as jungles are a really fun place to fight Almost like the vietnam war
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
@@BlueLaminate RIP warden logi O7
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
The baths is basically Vietnam
thank you, i never knew this game existed. i cant wait.
Planetside 2 back in its glory days was more hands on and epic feeling especially when each army had a tank column roaming around the map
Reminds me of battle bit a little how people don’t take it too seriously and just try to have fun.
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.
Hmmmm I'll be honest, I'm slightly afraid of deviating from my usual content, this video is as far as I got from that I think hahaha
@@BlueLaminate That's alright. No pressure. Just do what you do best. Cheers!
Great video!! It’s made me purchase the game.
Hope you enjoy, just remember to take breaks sometimes if you... really get into it hahaha :D
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.
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
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
Learning how to tank from Aquilea should be considered a masterclass.
I hope this games community stays healthy
And now Anvil Empires is comming, same thing but medieval war
0:55 "Teamwork is incredible important" as a Widow gets stuck in between two BIKES. And yes, this actually works, and due to the way infantry-carried AT works, bikes are an absolute priority threat to tanks. If one gets behind you and blocks off your mobility, you're dead.
This is why they don't let us MPF pallets of bikes.
The bike anti-tank meta would be too powerful. :D
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
Compared to a couple years ago all this is a 2 out of 10. It used to be absolutely incredible. Full boot camps at new player spawns where people got judged and placed into squads and so much more. I try now but it’s just not the same anymore.
The fact i know a lot of these players make me happy
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
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.
Curious fact, they are working on a medieval version of this game. GONNA BE EPIC.
Yeah.
Siegecamp, please let me get through the alpha testing lottery hahaha
@@BlueLaminate hahahaha 100% this!!! man you made me want to come back to Foxhole! cya in the battlefield!
I played this game a lot around 2016 till 2018.....you have no idea how I easily spend 8-12 hours playing in a day while thinking that I haven't been playing the game that long...even when I dies a lot, time feels so fast...
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 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! 😊
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
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
first video that got me interested in this game. I took it out of my wishlist cause i heard the people in it suck.
This looks like alot fun!
I do every role from infantry to tanker to artillery, to builder and logi but maybe soon navy
I tried it once and couldn't figure out how to really do much. I have no interest in the front line stuff, so I wanted to hang back and help with the supply chain stuff. However, there was nobody back there with me so I had to try figuring things out on my own. Eventually I just gave up and refunded it. I like the idea of it, but that experience just doesn't make me want to try it again anytime soon.
Honestly, I can't blame you if it was at a really off-peak time, that almost happened to me too (i came in half a year after the last major update) :(
Foxhole just ain't right if you're alone :(
Logistic is best done in group/regiment, you can try again with T-3C LOGI in colonial or FMAT in warden, the squads are open so just find the squad in squad list and join, and press T to talk and say you are new, I am sure they will teach you or let you help with something
It's on yearly discord 38% and an update war just started so it's good time to try out again
1:02 I WAS THERE!!! :D (off-screen , but i was there)
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 *
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 would love a Star Wars game like this
Well some people use star wars mods, like lasers instead of tracers and clone troopers instead of soldiers.
Pretty sure that he 501st clan does this, pretty sure they even have a guy named Rex with the rank of captain now
I forgot about the corpse pile, good memories.
"The pile is eternal" - Some guy at Plankhouse last war
This game is a job
Bro is happy he’s have social interaction.
This game sounds interesting. I heard you mention "spotter" when talking about the artillery. That position is called the forward observer. I'm curious how deep the gameplay is for that role. Are you calling in grid coordinates? Clicking a spot to direct the artillery? How does that work?
Well, I think we just say spotter because it's quicker hahaha
Usually the spotter has binoculars and are in squad chat with the artillery crew. For shorter ranges (like mortars) the spotter just sits next to the artillery guy and says a distance & azimuth direction (whatever the binoculars say), that's why you'll occasionally see 6 mortar guys sticking to a guy with binoculars. Adjust for wind after you see the shells land.
For longer distances though.... there is some math, though I'm pretty sure that there's a website for it, for foxhole lol. If the target, spotter, and artillery piece are in line with each other, it's a lot easier.
You direct fire by bearing and range, wind adjustments required, Binoculars give you bearing and range relative to where you're standing and then must adjust to give instructions relative to guns position.
I love this game I got like 5 years ago or so, but to difficult for me to much grind
Holy shit, how have I never heard of this game?
6:27 Literally frenchie from the boys
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
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
Great video
this video made me buy the game and its awesome
This game really intrigues me. Is this a game that I could find a lot of enjoyment in while only being able a play a couple hours each night? Or does this game require more of a time investment?
great review

How does he do it?
i once spent 3 6 hour sessions in a row just repairing the same bunker complex during a siege. We did a lot of singing.; LOL
Still worth playing? I get turned off of older competitive games due to the skill floor being significantly developed. I usually have to jump on early while everyone is still learning in order to be competitive
Well.... I'm a filthy casual in this game, that's for sure. I don't know building metas too well, I can't "shadowdance" (The zigzag while shooting technique you occasionally see here) and I don't play in a clan (Not that all clans are sweaty, of course).
And I'm having a pretty good time :)
You don't need to know every aspect of the game to play, it's easy to just focus on one bit at a time-
I'm 1000+ hours in and I've never built a facility hahaha
You don't need skill to bleed on the battlefield. ;)
It's not an issue.
I wanted to get into it but i feel like i really sucked or my internet couldnt handle it
