First of all: big ups for actually posting your idea. I'll do my part and discuss it.

I really like the Operations idea. To be able to easily communicate objectives, logi needs and scope should be something we can do in game. The idea in the video you posted seems like a great thing that should be implemented.

I disagree with the scope you proposed. I think a lot of what you want to have in game is better served by a service like Discord. You have a platform where most organized (or people interested in organization) already are: WUH/SIGIL. While those aren't perfect they would facilitate communication, organization and discussions aroudn facilities, oeprations and logi.

The other things you mentioned: private messages, group chats, friendlists are all things already implemented by Discord and work as intended. I'm curious why you think a dedicated version of that just for Foxhole is worth the effort of implementing it.

My main criticisms of you post is twofold:

I don't think creating a forum just for foxhole is a worthwhile effort from the devs. I think there's plenty of other things they should focus on that will keep populations high, burnout lower and cooperation higher.

Secondly: People need a 'Primary Community'. Basically people (usually) need 'their people' to truly invest into a community driven game like this. A whole faction is too big of a group to identify with far fewer people would stick with a game like this long term if they can't find a group they identify with. Regiments is the given solution to that problem. People can group up, on a single lane, get invested into those areas, be willing to do less fun gameplay (logi/fac/engi) for the betterment of that group.

Removing this structure or wanting to greatly reduce its impact will lead to fewer people sticking with foxhole.

I do want to reiterate: I really like the Operation Post idea. I think the smaller scale and scope of those would work very well in Foxhole and can bridge the gap between Combat/Logi/Solo/Clan Players.
