Fun Fact: My great great grandfather was crushed to death in WW1 when a piece of artillery was rolled over his body, he had been shot and was lying in the ground but it ‘‘twas not the bullet that wound end his life.
Ah just like history books tell WW1: Full of mocking jokes to the opposing nation Memes Cheerful songs in the middle of a battle The one idiot that gets way into the fight and actually makes a difference in the big battle The one that his sacrifice was totally, absolutely (not) worth it
4:44 Officer Pilps valiantly stood his ground as the advancing German forces slowly surround his position, he was awarded the Victoria's Cross for his stalwart 15-Killstreak actions
10:38 That french guy just seeing bullets pass him by like 15cm from his arm and his just like: Ok, i maybe i should move from the fire line. *Jumps like Mario * Also, you made Lewis proud with that tunnel clip
Was always interested in Holdfast because of how interesting the game looked because of the setting of the game and also memes with how people acted ingame but I thought this game was amazing and after seeing this new ww1 update this game got even better. I gotta say that intro was amazing, you're really great at editing Plips and I liked the way you hid those codes, wanted to try the game but those people are rats they were fast to get them lol. Really well made video and I'd love to see you play this game more.
So supposedly, one of the reason most of the european (particularly eastern european) nations had Stick Grenades, and America had Baseball grenades (this was before everyone settled on Pineapple) was because AXE THROWING was a fairly common past time in Europe.
I very much doubt these kinds of stories. They just sound good so people repeat them. At the end of the day, a grenade is a device that has to be thrown while being relatively compact, and there's only so many ways you can do that. While it wouldn't surprise me that militaries would try to make the most of common sports in a given nation, the actual design of the weapon probably doesn't have much to do with any of that. Stick grenades are just a way of getting a bit more range out of a grenade at the expense of making them less space efficient. Thrown axes are also far heavier, thrown at short distances and require the edge to be aligned to the target
5:40 when you were controlling that howitzer, it’s like you had danger close, noobtubing those people scoring multiple multi-kills. That was a beautiful sight to see in WW1! In fact, you controlling the artillery are those part that made me laugh a lot.
To think this would lead to one of the most terrifying conflicts in human history, the first time humanity saw their place as the dominant species being challenge by a smarter, deadlier, faster, horrifying thing, never forget the Emu War.
The first couple days after the DLC launched, every game I played the other players were respectful, not blasting music and taking the game seriously... Then everyone remembered it was holdfast... It felt surprisingly comforting for things to go back to normal...
Hilarious, and those steam keys were very cleverly hidden! Loved the artillery montage, you don’t see a lot of artillery use on this game but you’ve seemed to of perfected it! Also congrats on the sponsor!
I’ve been looking forward to this one! I picked the game up at a recent sale just when the Frontlines dropped and saw you on a server a few times - keep up the good work! Thank you for introducing me to this gem of a game.
Few weeks ago, thanks to your videos, I bought Holdfast and spent many fascinating hours in it. And when I was thinking of taking a little break and playing another game, you fueled my interest again. I don't know what kind of magic you posses, but I definitely like it :D
Plips was like John Wick in the market. Also. No one said it could be done. But Plips did it. He killed 15 people. With a 6-shot Webley Revolver, and a sword.
It truly is a gem! But it finally has been getting the spotlight with this new update! All time high player count, big streamers playing! Its nice to see!!
Ah yes, Verdun, the greatest surrending party of all time! Really happy my ancestors died defending our soil so you can make jokes at them... plus they are so refreshing, so new, totally original.
4:48 This line has made me try to run over so many opponents in Dawn of War 2 with a chimera. While it doesn't work, yet everytime this line get's said I still do it. 🤣

I played it on the day of release! Bets update ever! And don't mention it, glad you enjoy the videos, hope you enjoyed this one just as much!
You are back with more!!!
Congrats with the sponsor! Based
@@Broseph_Weed yes.
"Set in a moment of horrific history, one we should never forget."
Meanwhile, I am laughing maniacally as I launch mustard gas at the enemy.
Haha 😂
@@Pilps There is a strange satisfaction in watching the enemy trapped in their trenches choking on chemical warfare.
@@Fire_of756 man i just think you're a psychopath
wait when did they add mustard gas?
And then the wind turns back
The way you use those artillery is very unexpected,and it just perfect
I'm addicted to the artillery in this game!

The true holdfast experience
That basicly what ww1 was. No joke.

Haha 😂 and ide like to think so!
When the enemy starts wheeling out their artillery to counter bombard you specifically, you know you've done a good job.
Damm straight, at many points of this video, especially on the map Foxhole, all match it was just artillery vs artillery
*nods in Simo Hayha*
@@Pilps Sniper duel but its artillery v artillery instead

Any frontlines clans about?!?!

Oh god I still have PTSD from the one man army noobtube days of MW2! Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video
You are just pure evil.
I love it, because I’d play the same way
Haha thank you! :D
4:58 I don't know how they pretend this game is balanced when they make Sergeant York a playable character
Heh heh

First game i joined i had someone on top of a table VOIP'ing a Hitler speech :')
Did you find any of the steam keys?? 👀There is three in total throughout the video to get Holdfast for FREE, keep your eyes peeled!
Wait what?? Also imagine hearting your own comments, I'm just kidding.
Yim yum
@@wealthybone2990 Theres three snuck in this video, keep your eyes peeled!

Small world! Glad you're enjoying the game and the videos! :D
Absolute menace with artillery
Damm this update slaps! Amazing video as always, your artillery montages were spectacular! Congrats on the sponsor too, making gains!
Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video! :)
Pilps: *use pistol*
Enemy: I sleep
Pilps: *use artillery*
Enemy: kalm
Pilps: *use artillery like a fucking rifle*
Enemy: panik!
I do love me some Artillery!

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video
this is the channel I've been searching for over 2 years now
The reason Pilps got so many kills was because he is the God of Gunpowder.
PRAAAAAAAAAISE BEEEEEEEEEEEEE TO GUNPOWDERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Plips was like John Wick in the market. Also.
No one said it could be done. But Plips did it. He killed 15 people. With a 6-shot Webley Revolver, and a sword.
I would of used john wick music if it wasn't copyrighted aha
From what I see, the game only needs two things to be perfect:
1. Some gore
2. More powerful gun sounds
TANKS!!
A Large cannon in holdfast: *exists*
Pilps:
I WANT TO FIRE THAT THING NOW!
This holdfast game is such an underrated game, never heard of it until you play it
It truly is a gem! But it finally has been getting the spotlight with this new update! All time high player count, big streamers playing! Its nice to see!!
That clip with the machine gun all memes aside kinda show how horrific such weapon’s could be
Definitely, especially when the other sides tactic was "throw more men at it until they have no bullets"
for some reason the artillery montage makes me want to go on dawn of war: dark crusade and play the imperial guard...
SHATTER THEIR SKY!
@@Pilps love the basilisks, especially when i can afford to have three spamming earthshaker rounds
You can warp Holdfast's setting ahead about a century. Buuut it's still distinctly holdfast. love this game's community dearly.
So true! Love this game :D
@@Pilps And now I know that if I ever catch a 14 pounder shell to the face across the map, whom would be to blame.
@@potentiallyunfunnyguy9716 Heh heh, yes!
Yea another Pilps video!
Hell yeah brother!
I do love this game, haven't played in a while. Glad to see you have as much fun as I do when playing.
Definitely play, the games community & playerbase is the largest it's ever been!
Great Video! one of my favorite TH-camrs out there.
Appreciate that! Thank you
4:49 Drive me closer, I want to hit the like button after that reference.
Sweet sweet melee!
it's rainbows and sunshine behind the artillery but on the other end of the barrel it's a living hell 😂😭
There's something quite ever so satisfying firing a very big gun from very far away and killing a shit tonne of people with it!
Love how well you use artillery and that scene with the machine gun in the tunnel is one for the records!
Ah yes, the war of camping suicidal charges and artillery that never stops
Gotta love it!
@@Pilps *loads trench gun with malicious intent*
Dang, i might just have to get this game now.
PLEASE DO!!!
This dude is too good at long range. Can't get him without getting closer
Plips speaks.....interesting.
From the howitzer to the HMG,...
PLIPS IS A FIEND ON THE BATTLEFIELD!!
Great video as always
Glad you enjoyed!
3:40 grenade still has safety pin on it...
proceeds to still explode
what kind of Warhammer 40k Orc belief magic is this?
3:24 they really shot the whole cartridge. It hurts.
Pilps with a handgun is more acurate and deadlier than Olympic shooters. HOLY GOD!
The pin and spoon being left on a thrown grenade that then explodes destroys me
YOOOOOO CONGRATS ON THE BIG 100K!
Thank you man i really appreciate the kind words! :D
I need more of this in my life
More holdfast is planned for the channel don't worry :D
Pilps playing the point and click adventure version of this game.
I see enemies, I shoot!
Best WW1 game, and also best Imperial Guard Simulator
You mean the Korps of Krieg!
Can’t help but laugh when I get watch these
This update so needs to add tanks and mustard gas/gas masks!
Definitely!
Nice artillery hits. I can’t get hits to save my life with the mortar.
The mortar is definitely harder than the howitzers!
So funny and crazy as always, missed you mate :D
Glad you enjoyed it man, thank you! :D
gotta love how "serious" holdfast is
I like being a medic in this mode, I also have a fairly appropriate name for the mode.
All i'm thinking of is all the classes in TF2 screaming medic aha
loving the music choices
Who knew mg down a tunnel was the equivalent to fish in a barrel
Especially when you're shooting at their main spawn!
BABE WAKE UP PILPS UPLOAD HIS VID AGAIN
Aaaaaaaaaayeeeee
I like how Swanson is in every one of these videos. What a legend.
The stash just fits so well!
" Don't shoot me I'm french is my job to surrender" 🤣 choked to 💀
Haha 😂
Atleast the french part is accurate.
Haha 😂
Ah yes, Verdun, the greatest surrending party of all time! Really happy my ancestors died defending our soil so you can make jokes at them... plus they are so refreshing, so new, totally original.
Me when the DISCHARGED bullet in the trailer still has a primer
Really got on the artillery and said " Now watch this drive. "
I love my big guns!
Lmao. When I saw the face you used on the video's screen shot all my mind did was " A dragon! A dragon! I swear I saw a dragon!"
I don't understand this reference sorry
I love the mini details of the video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
4:48 This line has made me try to run over so many opponents in Dawn of War 2 with a chimera.
While it doesn't work, yet everytime this line get's said I still do it. 🤣
I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY SWORD
@@Pilps DRIVE ME CLOSER!
So all this video proves is that in another life Pilps would've been an Artillery Officer
That's some nice Counter Battery skills right there
Thank you! 😎
Ah, Artillery, sweet goddess of war
that fucking grenade and flute scene sent me flying
My Heritage icon looks like a Nuclear Blast ....... Something to look forward to huh ?
man your killing spree at 4:40 was impressive!
Every thumbnail you make cracks me up.
Haha thank you! I do try :')
GREAT WAR
THE BATTLE
VICTORY
Hell yeah brother!
10:10
"The bravest of the brave could never match the Maxim Gun"
IF GOD HAD WANTED YOU TO LIVE, WE WOULD NOT OF CREATED ME!
I was fully expecting IH (Internet Historian) to be in this video.
Then I realized he probably doesn't play FPS games.
Imagine if Pilps got to be on one of his In The Field videos? I would love that so much
Would love to play games with that man
The HRE experience: (I invade Poland at the same time as Russia)
Other factions are planned
@@Pilps good. Very excited to see the funny Byzantine getting Jihaded and Crusaded at the same time
And that’s why they called it the *great* war. More of this please.
Because it was fun! I mean awful! Don't worry, more frontlines and holdfast is planned!
12:27 Shall i remind of how Dunkirk went. The French sacrified themselves to let the British flee
Yup, it’s called a joke
@@Pilps I know but i like to point it out
"im french is my job to surender" me a french doubt x)
Heh heh
that tryhard moment was nuts
I went sicko mode! Didn’t know what came over me 😅
amazing!!
Thank you 😎
At long last, Pilps gets his very own Big Gun
Artillery go BRRRRRRRRR
still think that initial killstreak with the officer was one of the better ones I've seen...
I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY SWORD
Ive been waiting months for this
Pilp see heavy arms: Yeah boi!
FIRE ALL THE ARTILLERY
A machine gun in a tunnel…*moans* so good!
They had no chance!
10/10 very realistic french gameplay
Haha you know i had to throw it in there!
Went full Mad Jack at the start there, went fuck it and clapped them with sword
They were completely oblivious!
total war three kingdoms lookin prime n redy for the pilps experience boss
Nope! Anything after Atilla i have no interest in playing apart from maybe Britannia. Creative Assembly fell off
We need tanks in this game. Pilps needs more target practice for his artillery battery 😂
OH DEFINETLY!
Yes , let's ignore the pile of bodies at the base of this ladder. Nothing to see here
I know right?!
i found you through listening to HOME Resonance
France's loss during WW1 : 1 301 k (25% of infantry). WW2 : 221 k. BTW, have you heard of Siege of Kut ?
Ooft! And yea I have
Jolly good time at the front, home for christmas
Not with me as artillery!
@@Pilps A bit late but, I got noticed by senpai.
On the invasion map you can use your field Arty to blow up the ship guns happened to me yesterday
I know i've damaged them before but they take a few shots!
10:14 the real fun begins
The Jerma memes were a nice touch
Gotta through in the goat!
