I've been looking at a game on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/505460/Foxhole/) Its not really like anything i've ever seen before - that doesn't happen that often for me.

It's an MMO, that uses the persistence of a battlefield confrontation as its sandbox. Everything has to be constructed from supplies, which are recycled by players, delivered by players, and used by players. You even build the base structures. So I suppose its an MMO, RTS, 3rd person shooter?

Anyway. I'm considering having a look anyway, and its super cheap at the moment as well.

Interesting if we can setup a dMw team and it persists. If not this is an issue (but honestly one -ve out of lots and lots of +vs).

Welp, I gave it a try. Game is pretty decent, but the mechanics of some of the systems in game are ridiculous. If someone initiates a "ban" on you it auto locks your weapons for 20 minutes. Anyone on your team can initiate a ban for any reason. There are no prerequisites for it. One of the most ridiculous concepts I've ever heard of in a PVP game.

I'm keen to know what chance you have of getting anywhere in the game alone, because there is always an element of solo play either if folks leave a game or between community meet ups.

I might have a look at this later. Not had chance but seems like my cup of tea. You've obviously picked it up. I'm very curious if it's something we could get the weight of dmw as a faction, behind. Would be awesome i think.

Apologies. I misunderstood. It seems like a decent idea.

OK. I took the plunge and bought it. I've only played an hour and i have to say, its incredibly intense. The game might look simple, but believe me - it certainly is not.

It's a lot of fun, but please, check the tutorial videos out first! They're available in game or through you tube. Its not about XP and skills - its about game knowledge. Its not over difficult, assuming you work in a team, but its quite rewarding.

This looks awesome, the persistence reminds me of Planetside 2 except here, everything is made and maintained by players, fantastic graphics and an ARPG camera angle makes it a total winner for me!

It also reminds me of Commandos: Behind enemy Lines, I mean come on, fantastic perspective! :D
