Big thank you to the Foxhole community and Siege Camp for helping support with this video! While I've played the game for 150+ hours, It was still humbling to see so many Colonial and Warden troops come together and submit their favourite clips and help showcase to Jonathan the setting, weaponry, chaos and community of Foxhole. While we couldn't feature every clip for various reasons, so many were shown off to Jonathan, and each and every one of them was super valuable when it came to showing off the game, and building up a picture of what makes Foxhole, Foxhole. I'm excited to see you all again on the frontlines. P.S. Collies 4 eva xox

The mortar men couldn’t be spread out and “concentrate on a single point of impact “ unless they each had an individual spotter adjusting fire. This technique-called direct lay-requires a spotter to adjust the rounds on target. When using multiple mortars, with a single spotter, they have to be close together so that they have the same angle of fire to the target-old mortarman.

@iansmith4184 Жыл бұрын

And spotters who know what they're doing are a scarce resource in Foxhole, because you have some very realistic artillery mechanisms in play, to the point you need to do trig to get the shells to hit effectively.

Big props for him realizing that, through all the abstractions, foxhole can evoke pretty realistic feelings. Despite my infantry kit being worth all of 10 bmats (nothing) and death having little consequence, running into artillery fire is a terrifying experience. Obviously not anywhere close to the same degree as in real life, but you can still see people hunkering down more than would be optimal, just to evade that messy, random and unavoidable death you get going over the top in a barrage.

@prointernetuser Жыл бұрын

Foxhole is one of those games that is very unique. All the equipment, ammunition, and vehicles had to be built by players and transported to the ever shifting frontlines. Raw materials had to be mined and refined, equipment had to be produced, supplies had to be transported. Supply lines are just as important as shooting skillz. Communication is vital to organizing an attack and defense. The learning curve is steep, but once you settle in, it's very rewarding. Successfully organizing a well-supplied group of soldiers to conduct naval landing is one of the most fun I've had in a game ever. Trying to be commando and ambush enemy supply trucks is so much fun. I don't think I've seen anything like it before.

This series has helped me realize how much research goes into developing games. I just finished playing through HL2: EP1 with the developer commentary, which uses a hyper realistic art style. In the commentary towards the end, they talk about basing the art style off of 1950s europe, especially for the train. This has inspired me to do much the same. My game doesn't use any firearms. But, it takes place under water. A friend of mine recently got back from taking reference images of the aquarius reef base. We will be using that for reference for the reef bases in the game I'm making.

Somewhat related to this video, the game looks at some issues related to sound canons. Those are tools that are used to help find oil under water. To answer your other question, yes, we do plan on releasing on Steam. To use Valve's classic answer on the release time frame: "When it's done."

So awesome to see Foxhole featured here! The game sacrifices some visual fidelity and exagerates some weapon features to accommodate the top-down view, but it's still one of the most realistic feeling war sims I've ever played. Whatever immersion is lost by the camera angle is more than made up for by the immersive gameplay. Btw, the flamethrowers are a recent addition to the game and they can actually set buildings on fire in a somewhat realistic way (fires can even spread if the wind is strong enough). But the clip shown at 8:25 is of an attack on a vehicle and those don't have a "on fire" animation/mechanic yet. One thing about flamethrowers in this game that's kinda funny is that they can be used to defrost tanks that have stalled due to freezing weather.

Great video! The main reason mortors in Foxhole clump up is actually entirely realistic... They don't want to do math, because math is hard. Instead they all group together and fire on the same angle/distance as called out by the dude spotting for them. It is far from ideal, but if you split them up, say into pairs, they either need to do math to account for the change in angle from their position vs the spotters (with 65m range even being 10-15m apart drastically changes those angles and distances), it is also hard to find good targets in range of a more spread out mortor team. The other option is to have many small teams with their own spotters, but this reduces shots fired per volley AND reduces the net impact as all shots wont be landing on one target at almost the same moment like you get with a single spotter. With BIG guns, real GUNS, you do get spread out firing positions, math getting done to converge shots, sometimes even delays between guns to time shots to land together... but with 65m and the constant danger of incoming gas grenades/bayonette charges from the line 50-60m away at most... clump up n make it rain is generally the best bet.

It’s so odd seeing our little game make it here, but I’m darn glad it did! To clear up some confusion, this game doesn’t just take place in an alternate history; it takes place in another universe entirely. You could probably get a part two out of this game still.

Shotgun is based on i think the Ithica.....

I like seeing these lesser known guns featured instead of the usual STGs, M1 Garans, etc. Wish we get more alternative ww2 video games featured so we can see more of these lesser known guns.

Yessssssssssssss. These devs need all the love. If you have any interest in a persistant war that takes rough 2-4 weeks in real life to conclude, check it out. Regarding the Flamthrowers -- you can set fire to buildings/bunkers in game. Once a fire is raging it is persists and can transfer to other buildings. People need to run water buckets to put them out. There's a simulated heat mechanic too.

The Lionclaw SMG he reviewed near the end is meant to be a mass production version of a homemade/makeshift gun hence the strange looks

The knucklebow trigger guard IS on the lahti, and it's to stop brass from bouncing off the ground and breaking your knuckles

The lionclaw looks kind of like the Hungarian Danuvia m39 smg.

I had been avoiding suggesting anything other than FPS games, but seeing this... I would love to see Jonathan's take on the guns of Valkyria Chronicles 4. Especially since the higher end ones end up looking MORE complicated than the lower end ones. Also the Anti Tank Lances.

@dietzel8988 Жыл бұрын

Fun fact: The lionclaw rifle is actually based off the Kiraly 43.m smg which was used by hungarian soldiers during ww2. It used its own caliber which was similar to the 45.acp

Fox home has artillery as one of the most vital weapons in the game! It’s the only thing that can break stalemates and being under an artillery barrage is hellish. You hear it landing and throwing smoke and dirt everywhere. Bodies getting thrown around, hiding in your trench as your bunkers are blasted to pieces. Your only hope is they run out of ammo or you get counter artillery. As he said in the video, it doesn’t look the most realistic, but it feels like war

@b98a4c37 Жыл бұрын

The mortar teams are bunching up so they can share a single spotter. The downside of forming a single target for the enemy is quite true. With more spotters available you do see mortar teams spreading out more

Best part of this video isn't the guns it's his analysis of the realism/abstract realism of the game and how it really hits that balance

Yeah I got teamkilled quite a few times laying down suppressing fire on the front line at night, my team mates did not appreciate the ammunition consumption nor the noise. It was really effective at keeping all but the most brave of enemies at bay even if a stray bullet or two hit the back of our braves.

The Lionclaw MC VIII is based loosely on the M43 Király submachinegun, at least for me it is a strong resemblence.

John is incorrect on the second gun: Lahti L-39s do have that grip guard because the cartridge extracts through the bottom- right into that guard.

Foxhole. The only game that can give that truly horrific feeling of going over the edge of a trench/crater/cover as a medic, yelling with your fellow comrades just to hear their screams get immediately cut off as their deleted by an artillery round. Before you realize you’re all that’s left running head first into enemy machine gun fire.

@loglog7 Жыл бұрын

I'd love to see at least one video of Jonathan playing the game as he reviews the guns. It's probably a lot easier to get a feel for the gunplay when you have hands on experience.
