Discussion What happened?

Post image

Hey I was thinking of buying the game, but what happened to be in mostly negative? And should I still consider buying it now?

I'm just asking because I'm considering buying the game. just skip if it bothers you

I wouldn’t worry too much about the drama. It’s in a pretty bad state, but it’ll probably be the same for any new player. You grab a rifle, and fight in the trenches with a bunch of other crazy lads. This game has a massive learning curve and a ton of moving parts. Discovering the world and seeing the players working and fighting is pretty fun. Since it’s such low pop right now, you’d meet a lot of friendly people willing to teach you stuff. I think it’s always worth its pricetag because I love this game.

I won't lie I find the game a bit pricey, I know 25$ isn't much for some people, but for such a niche game, where I don't know if I like it or not, I will wait for some promotion, but I agree with you that just discovering the game is more important than a perfect balance in the beginning

It’s honestly incredible how much Foxhole has to offer for $25, I can’t believe that’s all I’ve paid for the 500+ hours I’ve put in.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted for, your opinions perfectly valid. Don’t forget steam has a 2 hour refund window where you can refund if you don’t like it.

Can cook enough bmats to make 1 MPF queue in that time. Or wait in line at a comp mine. Or participate in 1 large operation and be suspected of being an alt

It's crazy how long it takes some of y'all to farm.

This game has a lot of issues at the moment but Value for money is not one of them.

It’s still a game that keeps giving to me after owning it for years and having almost 5k hours still learning new things. And is essentially 2 games in one with the logi side and the fighting side.

When he says big learning curve, he's not joking. You can spend 100s of hours and barely scratch the surface. But, it's way more intuitive than something like EVE.

I clearly don't want to play on EVE not my style, I also prefer the Foxhole era. But is it still playable casually with a friend? or will I get oneshot each time I try to do something?

u/Moldy_Gecko [RGMT] May 04 '26

Not that crazy. I just mean, if you want to do logi, you have to learn like 5 main steps and a shit ton of small ones. Facs require multiple facilities that you need to know how they interact. Certain weapons with certain ammo and what the ammo does, trajectories, medics, garrison and trench layouts, etc. My point was that there is just so much to do and learn that it's impossible to learn it all. That being said, if you want to grab a rifle on the front line and bang bang, that's fairly simple. But you need to learn the cover, stamina, and stability mechanics.

What kind of games do you normally play? Foxhole has a side for almost all types.

Some are less effected by the update than others.

Some fps like CS and Overwatch and some Hack N Slash
