Population jumped ~153% on release in October. It's dropped ~28% from there and is trending slowly down.[steamcharts.com] At least in America, many people have part of next week off for Thanksgiving.

You could wait for a sale, but I wouldn't. If the population continues to drop they might force a server merge at the end of the current war, and that would probably kill my interest and I have like 180 hours (I got it a little after the 1.0 release).

Charlie has been mostly good experiences (there are 3 servers Able/Baker/Charlie, with Charlie being the newest and therefore the least populated and most new players, although there have been a number of people coming from other servers too), I do not see that carrying over to heavy queues and sweaty regiments.

You can play on all servers, but you cannot play on different factions on the same server after a brief window.

if your that cheap then they might only do a sale for their next update which will be some one in the middle of next year lmao I hope you can wait

If you think 6 or 8 bucks is so little, why not pay Porta that money so that he can buy the game at full price?

Really, I will never understand people who ridicule others for wanting to save money. You do not know their situation and you are in no position to criticize them.

man, how cool would it be, if there is like a function where we could search the forums.... for similar threads. that would be really awesome, because we would get the answer we are looking for immediately instead of waiting for replies and we'd have less duplicate postings in the forum. that'd be a really awesome feature.

oh wait.....

If you spent the time looking over the game by watching videos, reading and or taken part in any of the social channels for the game and are of legal working age then you just spent that "savings" to begin with.

I would say if you have spent more then 2-3 hours into researching the game then I would say IMO you have already invested something into the game as of now. If the information you have gathered thus far is something that peeks your interest then I would also say it would be in your best interest to simply buy the game.

At $30 I honestly don't see it going more than $5 - $10 off. If you wait and continue to spend your free time doing anything "Foxhole" related I'd say you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you are in a position to pay the $30 now.

I see your point, but knowing that it's a full loot pvp game where all things are player made, I spent hours reading the about the game via guides before I bought it. This kind of game has a lot of learning curves, the tutorial is bad, the wiki helps a lot, but there are some things you find out by playing.

To even really start at all is a time investment, I'm at something like ~190 hours now, starting with the 1.0 release, and I changed my review from negative to positive in part because knowledge of game mechanics increases what you can do (solo, in my case), but I left all the negative things I wrote first, because most of those still stand, and were valid when written.

it should hit 2k concurrent players in 6-8 weeks... so i would assume foxhole might go on sale around christmas

edit:

oh.. and just so you know... you'll have the best experience if you join a regiment early on... makes the game much more fun, and less frustrating since you got mates who will help you out and explain how everything works
