Foxhole: The Game With Massive Wars That Never End

IMPORTANT: My main channel is now @TheRatmothy UPDATE: New Foxhole video is out!!! Hey hey, thank you for the recommendations to try out this game that made this video possible! If you have any other games you want me to try out please let me know. I can't make any promises that there will be a video on it, but I DO read and write down your recommendations and keep them in mind to check out down the line.

Fun fact: the war also ends

[@Mikalent]

Even more fun fact, since he joined after the Manacle fell, the first grenade that killed him was a Wadern (his team's) grenade, looted from the Manacle Armories. How do I know this? Because I am a Colonial (the green guys) and 3 days ago we were losing territory because so many people where waiting to "open the lootbox" of Manacle after it fell rapidly 2 days prior (5 from when this clip was uploaded) and now we Colonials get to use stolen Warden equipment for a while. Edit: Also second fun fact, there is a uniform that let's you TK without being reported (You can still be temp banned for excessive TK though) and yes, both Colonial and Warden LARP regiments will(sometimes) shoot people who retreat.

[@void1593]

@@Ratmothy yeah it really hurts.

[@ColonelZoren]

Yeah... it's true that you are just a cog in the machine. But Foxhole reward you with... "those moments". I remeber been in the middle of an absolute meatgrinder. I jump in a trench with a few random friendly pinned down by a bunch of enemy soldiers. I cought my antagonist by surprise and mow down a number of them with my Dusk machine gun. Then we hold the trench for some time but we had to retreat. During the retreat i got hit and i was about to bleed out. One of the random firendly turn back, pick me up, carry me to a medic and simply say to the Doc "Take good care of him". I felt like an hero for one hour.😭

[@Bengettinit]

not even talking about the game anymore, how bout the one you're in right now

[@blazeburner303]

For aiming at a guy, the white line represents bullet travel, the dot is where it lands, if you go outside the white line you get low accuracy and low damage, and if you see a red line it means the bullet is obstructed by something, with a yellow line off the dot showing the height of the current dot location, so if you are shooting a guy at the same elevation as you and see a yellow line, you are not aiming at him as something is obstructing your vision, such as 11:45 ish where you started shooting a fuel tower instead of him due to your camera angle having that be where your cursor aims when looking that way

[@Ratmothy]

Noted :D

[@blazeburner303]

@@Ratmothy also if you do make a logi video or any video related to larger parts of the map...or even use the map in general, it's frowned upon to show current war footage of such things as people often scour it for intel to use against the other faction otherwise, enjoy the long war we have going on!

Some tips: middle mouse button to rotate camera, H to mark spots, the white line on the rifle is your effective range, past that does 1/10th of base damage, and cook grenades by holding mouse button for a couple seconds before throwing O yeah if you have more questions feel free to ask the world chat (press enter, then tab until you get to it).

[@seekersrepublic4731]

Quick tips: The shooting in this game is hit scan (the tracers are just there for pretty visuals) so you don't need to lead your target (Unless they are Australian in which case aim three to six miles ahead of them to account for the upside down ping) When fighting in open barren fields, grenades become fairly useless. Literally everywhere else they are the emperors of the battlefield. When in doubt, grenade it out! Tanks have an extremely difficult time looking anywhere but in front of them. When night falls, grab some AT and ruin their day! While there are a lot of high-strung players, many of the tank drivers are fairly chill. If it looks like they have an extra seat (usually the machine gun), just ask if you can hop in. More often then not they will be happy to have a little extra help! I write this comment just after the end of war 115 (suck it Wardens!) as a Colonial anti-tank infantry focus. I hope these tips find you well and increase your odds of making a meaningful impact on the battlefield...

[@kgregorius8550]

For anyone who is new here are 2 things I can tell you about that will make your life a lot better 1. Press the windows key-> go to mouse setting-> go to additional mouse options-> click on the check box that says "Click Lock" then press okay. This will make so if your holding down left click it will hold it for you after doing it for a few seconds, really good for repairing or build or gathering from fields. Note make sure to turn it off in front lines when your fighting. 2. Press Enter key-> press the Ctrl key and W key in the chat box-> then press the Enter key once more. This will make you auto run, and drive which makes it a lot better the having to hold W key when doing long travels, think of it like cruise control. Keep in mind this is also true in revers (S key). Note to get out of cruise control just press the W key once and you will stop.

[@Ratmothy]

Good advice! I'll do that

[@thegreaseman404]

Cruise control is great, but I don't like doing it like that, so I have a nut on a bolt that's heavy enough to depress my W key when I need cruise control lol

It's a whole mechanic as well called devastation, it's not just visual, structures built on devastated ground have less health and such. So gameplay and visuals can be heavily affected by long arty bombardments.

[@NationalDevin]

I am a veteran since war 80, and i can tell you I've seen a lot. There's a lot of consistent experiences with some of the bridges, but I think my most memorable moment was single handedly holding down a flank in one of the 90's wars, I think it was 93 or 98, I forget. This war was your typical horizontal split for this game, and we had managed to begin a pincer maneuver with our flanks and we had really stretched thin. We went up through the fingers, took the Endless shore, then pushed all the way up to the tempest island bases, taking all but a couple smaller ones on the opposite sides of their bridges. Problem was, while we had a lesser garrison holding those islands, I noticed that we only had a couple of trucks coming to us. Then one, then he retired. We made some calls out to Logistics, but they were ignoring us, talking about how they have more important priorities in the center and they couldn't send supplies to us that far out, since the trip time would take to long. So, after realizing that we weren't going to push beyond this base, our medical supplies dwindled, and I got tired of scrapping things from the line back, I decided to take a truck and go do logistics. It was great that I did too, as it turned out that I was the only truck willing to make the drive inland, but it didn't start that way. At first I did test runs to other bases, grabbing some of their stocked supplies from the sunk in war prior, and established a good foundation for us to have gear to last for awhile. Packing in medical supplies, grenades, guns, ammo, whatever. Then I started to run those as dry as I felt comfortable with given the fact we may collapse tonight. Long story short, eventually I began to find crates at the harbors and factories and was the lone logistics for HOURS that night, eventually taking on all of the active fronts and having to drive all the way to base to get crates. Had I not been there to decide to do that, the whole eastern front would have no doubt collapsed that night. People were praising me with every delivery, and when I checked in the next day, we had pushed them back further north. It was great.
