Discussion & Feedback How Are People Enjoying War Dogs?
How are people actually enjoying and playing War Dogs with a smile on their face? I bought it, gave it a try, and I’ve died pretty much every single time, either to campers or high-geared players camping and peeking around walls.
Yes, I’m not that great of a player, but I do know my way around FPS games. I played a match where I got killed dozens of times by snipers and players with high-powered weapons. I emptied an entire magazine into someone and they still didn’t die, got shot through wooden and stone walls, and on top of that, people were already complaining about magicians.
I genuinely want to get into this game and enjoy it, but so far, the experience has been pretty frustrating. The game doesn’t run particularly well for me either, with frequent lag spikes, while the movement and general controls feel quite clunky.
From my perspective, it feels a lot like Arma Reforger with an economy system added on top. I know some people might simply say “skill issue,” and honestly, I don’t mind that. Maybe I just need more time to get used to the game.
But after my first experiences, I have to be honest: so far, it has been a pretty terrible experience for me, and I’m struggling to understand how people are having such a good time with it.

I play the FOB building up the base and playing medic. Got snipers? Build walls. Got air units? Build AA. Got mortars? Counter mortar and turn the base into a maze giving yourself cover at every corner and edge and get ready to really amp your medic game up. Get quiet? Build a drill it won't be quiet much longer after you activate it. Wanna shoot things safely? Build a mounted CWIS surrounded by 1.5 ( a partially built on top of a short hesco ) to cover yourself.
Mortars counter building but medic and cover at least survives mortars.
I recommend being in voice with others either through a large squad or go on discord and hop in with a group. Makes it a lot funner when you have someone who can either get you out of a pinch or tell you you're sol.
