What goes wrong
Not balanced at all, helicopters can do everything they want.
The servers are extremely unreliable, there is no effective protection against cheaters, and there is no compensation for losses caused by cheating.
Game was fun when wipes happen but the grind is just too heavy for people who cannot play the game for hours everyday.
It's super slow paced and the graphics/presentation are pretty dated.
The real problem for me is Linux. It literally worked on Linux in the beta with EAC. The devs even said they were working on Proton support.
What goes well
Wardogs is easily the most [order id], boots on ground, all out warfare game i have played in years!
good game buy it
one of the very few games in a decade where developers actually play games and listens to the actual community (n ot only the streamers). 10/10
Wardogs is an amazing game to play with your friends, Its been so long since a game has came out where I hop on and half of my friends list is online and playing the game together.
100Hrs for a 40$ game in early access... Yeah its good. Only gripe: I have to dual boot cause no Linux ver yet.

As someone that grew up on the early battlefields and cods, then moved on to arma, this game is fun, you pop on to play an hour or two, 4 hours later your still playing it, the community is great,...
The game is fantastic. It is an FPS game, I was waiting for for years. It is not perfectly balanced, nevertheless, this is by design and devs are tracking everything.
Loved the game itself. Hated the way devs approach. New season started on 15th October or something like that. I grinded helicopter logistics for 12 days, all day. Unlocked the havoc a few days ago.
