You and that guy saying the game is dying are retarded. It's like you've never bought a videogame.

So is it worth it or wait for sale?

Depends. I don't think its a game for everyone. Maybe worth waiting on sale, or try it out and refund before 2 hours

Games really fun even after a week, knowing every bullet you crafted is being used by someone else to kill an enemy is a good feeling. Being part of a large war effort and being able to do whatever role you feel like when you get tired of another is huge plus. Only time it gets boring is when one side gets stomped too hard.
>>
>>387534628
It's one of the most satisfying games I've ever played. One time I defended a town for 10 hours straight. 10 real life hours of constant fighting, artillery barrages and counter-attacks. I'll never forget the happiness I felt when the guns finally went silent and our army stood victorious.

I do a few hours every other day. Yesterday night I started as a scrapper, moved onto delivering supplies to an FOB that was under fire for like four hours, repelled a couple raiding parties then ended the night as a medic while we pushed into an enemy town.

It's a pretty great game but stupid teammates do get kind of tiring so you should try and play nice, get enough rank to form a squad/post missions on the map.

Here's one of the raiding parties, they snuck into town while I was making weapons for the FOB.

Foxhole is fun as fuck, but it suffers from multiple bad design choices and the community isn't that great either. The devs made a step forward with patch 0.0.2, but it's not enough.
>>
>>387534628
one time I besieged an enemy strong hold myself by secretly building pillboxes and foxholes outside their base.
it took 20 people an hour to destroy my blockade.

>>387537297
Its a new game. It really just needs some more time. Next patch is gonna add a water map and an amphibious transport

>>387537241
You can spawn at town halls, outposts or barracks if they have soldier supplies in stock, which makes soldier supplies a pretty vital element of your logistical operations. Otherwise, you spawn in at your current capital town, which is set as your first town and then changes if that gets taken. If you're on your last town, you get to spawn in the wilderness like a retard and try some on-site procurement to get a decent gun.
>>
>>387537556
Oh perfect, please tell me how important logistics is? I haven't had a big multiplayer game where logistics mattered since planetside 1.
>>
>>387537623
Not the guy you're replying to, but logistics are extremely important. logis have to make literally every weapon and bullet used in the war, so you basically can't play without logistics
>>
>>387537623
Literally the most important thing in the game. Every gun, grenade, ammo and such stuff has to be manufactured from scavenged materials and delivered by other players in trucks
>>
>>387537787
Is it tedious to build weapons?
>>
>>387537623
Logistics are everything. If you army isn't making supplies there are no respawns, if you army isn't making weapons they cannot fight.

Most sides will have a dedicated Quartermaster who runs a logistics squad, he will tell them what the front lines need and who should gather it, where it should go.

The side that doesn't have a well oiled logistics team will ultimately lose.
>>
>>387537623
It's the bedrock of the game. If you're not getting supplied, you can't spawn close to the front, you can't get a gun other than a pistol unless you take it from the better-supplied enemy, you can't build defences, you can't destroy defences, you can't heal, or anything.

Basically, each town has a few buildings other than the town hall. Generally speaking it's divided into towns with workshops, guns and manufactories, and towns with supply stations, vehicle factories, and hospitals. Manufactories are used to refine the scrap you gather by just standing in place and hitting a pile of bullshit (devs are eventually going to make this shit less retarded), and all the rest create items and vehicles by placing an order with your refined materials and waiting a few minutes. Since shit is heavy, you need trucks to carry the materials around, the produced goods around, etc.
>>
>>387537871
if you have a truck, no it's very easy.
>>
>>387537871
a bit. first you have to get raw materials from a specific location, then take them to a facility to refine, then to a factory to place your orders for the weapons, then you deliver them to the frontline... can be a bit tedious

but there's generally a few people working logistics, so the whole process goes by faster.

You can also just take a weapon from the spawn, and it's really easy to pick up shit from dead players

If you supply outposts with anything other than rifles, HMGs, and shotguns in the right situation, you are part of the problem,

Man all that autistic shit sounds amazing but I'm really turned off by the overhead camera. Does the game suffer from it or does it make it better?
>>
>>387531215
Battlefield 1, less explosions, slower guns, more honkies.
>>
>>387538370
I also didn't really like the top-down camera, but eventually I just got used to it. Dunno if the game would be btter off without it, but the devs have mentioned that they do not plan to change the camera

>>387538254
certain wepons like SMGs or revolvers can be useful at times, but storm rifles are indeed worthless
The ultimate meme-weapon: expensive as fuck, and absolutely useless
>>
>>387538370
I'd probably prefer it wasn't top down, but it doesn't take away from my enjoyment
>>
Is this game fun if you only play it for an hour or so a session? All the above greentext seems to come from NEETs who have a spare 4+ hours to drop on a video game.
>>
Friendly reminder that the carbine is best weapon, especially for gunning down smg shitters like the animals they are.
>>
How long does a map last for? How does it reset?
>>
>>387538905
As long as you keep in mind the game is pretty much ongoing and you might come back to the match with many things having changed since you left
>>
>>387539023

I get that it's like Planetside in that sense.

Is there a progression system or a leveling system? Do I get access to everything from the get-go?
>>
>>387538905
Not gonna lie, it's pretty time-consuming. in an 1-hour session you might have fun as a frontline soldier, but logistics and building takes a long time

>>387539004
generally a few days, most of the time less than a week. It resets when one of the factions takes every townhall in the map
>>
>>387538675
Storm rifle needs to be a carbine and an smg taped together, instead of being an inferior version of both. It's already balanced by being a lot more expensive to create.
>>
>>387538923
>using a carbine over the superior rifle
HURR DURR MUH ADAPTABILITY
>>
>>387538905
You can just login and spend an hour making supplies and log off knowing it will help your side. Or you can login and spend an hour building defenses and login the next day to see they could still in use.

But if you login and expect to take a town in 1 hour you'll be disappointed, the town battles can last a long time.
>>
>>387539185
You have access to everything. Though if you don't plan on playing for long, if you take any of the higher tier equipment to use, just remember to put it back when you're done.
>>
>>387539185
there's no leveling but there are ranks
you rank up when you get commends (aka upboats). The game tries to control the community trough a upboat/downboat system, so higher ranks means a more respected player, and others are more likely to see him in a good light

other than that, the only thing you can unlock with rank is creating squads, but you get that at rank 3, so it's pretty easy
everything else in unlocked from the start
>>
>>387539185
There is leveling but it doesn't mean shit currently, everyone has access to everything. Just some command features like writing on the global map are locked behind commendations which are handed out by other players but that's to prevent it being overused.
>>
Is there artillery in this game? Can I be a comfy artillery crewman responding to fire missions on the other side of the map?
>>
>>387539335
Rifles are at their best in open fields and long firing lines. They are outclassed everywhere else.
>>
>>387539774
Yes and no. There's artillery, but you won't get to use it most likely.
>Mobile artillery is high tier
>Requires multiple people to use
>Ammo uses explosive mats so you have to beat the tank crews off with a stick to get any
>Still won't get much ammo for it if you do
>Situational
>All of the above applies to stationary artillery except it's even more situational
There's hand mortars if you want that, but their ammo also uses explosive mats and the tank crews get pissy if they're not constantly supplied ammo at all times.
>>
>>387539774
Howitzers, field artillery and mortars, but you can't operate them alone efficiently. You want spotters and loaders to get the best out of them.

You also need people to gather the explosives, the metal, make the shells and drivers to deliver them to your nearest outpost
>>
>>387539302
The storm rifle is basically just a low capacity, less restrictive HMG.
>>
they need to add a sandbox mode so players can test early game routes, and also figure out how to build proper defenses, maybe add in the ability to spawn an ai wave so you can see how efficient they are
>>
This game really sounds like the sort where the public servers nothing gets done because the randos cannot into teamwork and in the private servers you have to bend over and suck clanfag dick to have any fun.
>>
>>387540187
U wot m8. The storm rifle doesn't have anywhere near the accuracy or magazine size to act even slightly like an hmg. It's literally a downgraded smg in automatic mode.
>>
>>387540287
As opposed to what? The truth about human nature is that most people like following orders, so if you have a problem just get a mic.
>>
>>387540287
In a way, it's like Planetside 1 in that way. You have the solo players doing logistics and holding the front line and building defenses. Meanwhile the clanfags are doing behind enemy line guerrilla shit. But most randoms are willing to follow you and team up if you just ask for help over a mic, plenty of fun to be had without being in a clan.
>>
>>387540553
It's not that far off from HMG accuracy when you consider that you're always firing your HMG from crouched or prone positions. A guy with a storm rifle can keep suppressive fire up on a location long enough for a HMGer to set up, or reload. The SMG doesn't have the damage at range to effectively suppress.
