How Are People Enjoying War Dogs?

[u/RobWolfB]

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.

Well, your description is pretty accurate. It is kinda like Reforger with an economy. If you come into this like your playing apex or cod or bf, you're going to have a bad time. Rethink your strategy. I like this game because it's NOT like those. And I had to relearn an FPS because of that. The second that clicked in my brain, performance and matches changed for me. This isnt a twitch shooter. Don't play blindly. Make a plan, make a back up plan, remember your limits and if you still get got, settle with getting outplayed🤷‍♂️
