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 :)
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.
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!
GG good fight for Spearhead, I was part of the defense of the island even jumping in a gunboat to screw with your incoming logi. I believe we ended up sinking that big gun of yours when you tried to retreat it back across the water, all and all a good fight all around and can't wait to see you in War 115. WN forever!!
I think while this was happening, the Wardens were doing their own goofy invasion on the seaport on terminus. Was pretty crazy stuff but we did a good job repealing them 👍
I think I was trying to pick which front to join because of that hahaha they even invaded the fingers at around this time too, but I spent way too long in stema in 112 to let it go hahaha
This was in 112, and there were... a couple of Naval invasions at the Fingers but they were really quick. I do recall the Wardens bringing a longhook with 30 cutlers on deck lol
I've played on the Warden side for many wars now but I've never heard anyone saying that collies would eat babies like you said at the beginning of the video. I'm not trying to claim that Wardens are better people or anything, but simply that I've never seen it happen there.
Maybe it's the crowd in the timezone I played in. It's in my Vagrant Bastion video, when I switched to warden for a war. I replied to someone by saying that the collies are humans too, then got sent to the firing squad for calling baby eaters people hahahaha the LARP is strong Good times, would warden again eventually.
Yes, yes it is. :D We used rapturas to kill concrete in the Fingers in 113, while I'm not sure if I'll make a video on that, it was succeeding where a couple of Ballista rushes failed- as long as we had like 10 guys repairing it while it was getting shot at by concrete defenses.
In war 114? Yeah usually collies do well early game (Thank you Bomastones & early game players) and the Wardens come back late game, a lot of their players log on once tanks are teched. At least we won 2 Wars before this one 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
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.
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.
