Here are 10 Reasons NOT to Buy.
Respect this attitude so much.
We scrape all feedback from positive and negative reviews and weight the importance of any critique equally to get the best picture we can of all players views.
Players can critique within a postitive review and it will still get to us 👍
One thing the @WARDOGS podcast made me realise was the effects of Steam reviews.
Despite this season being shaky, it’s still one of my favourite FPS games released in the past 10 years.
Here we go - Introducing THE HOTZONE:
The Official @WARDOGS Podcast.
In this trial episode the design team discuss Season 2, the wipe and context behind it all.
Let us know what you think and if this is a format you would like to see more of to talk about big community topics.
WARDOGS Devs reflect on Season 2's Launch.
- Progression Speed
- Data vs Perception
- Open Discussion on IR
New format for extra context between vlogs.
Let us know what you think!
Listen Here: youtu.be/6Lm_a6BUHg0
New VLOG next week as there's SO much to discuss.
This weekend we're also trialing a new long form podcast format where design get more freedom to go over the wipe, the progression changes, season 2 launch and the raw, honest context behind the scenes.
Hope you enjoy :)

WE ARE HIRING PLAYERS - QA TESTERS
Want to break into the games industry?
We noticed that our community testers were on average reporting higher quality more specific bugs than our outsourced QA teams.
We have for years required applicants for all roles submit their Steam recently played when applying to @BULKHEAD, contraversial 'apparently'... but we just want people who give a shit about what they do.. call it passion, call it drive, call it obsession.. whatever you want..
The games industry has been pretty weak for the last 6 or 7 years, but it's getting good again.. If you're interested in working in an industry where you get to make something that people play, be part of a team, and work on something you care about, apply for this.
It's an entry level role, you must be in the UK, and it's hard work.. But if you want a way in? Here's an opportunity, we don't care if you're experienced or not.. just that you care.
Please retweet and help get this in front of someone who might make a life changing decision and join a pretty cool industry as it turns a corner again.

Appreciate everyone checking out Season 2. Looking forward to recording our next vlog for additional context. I will be playing in the meantime 👍
ANNOUNCEMENT 📢
Season 2 was meant to be a fresh start, and for a lot of you it hasn't felt like one. We sped up progression on deliberately and tried to balance the game better, as set out in the patch notes, but it was the wrong call.
Some players are reaching end game gear like Tier 4 armour and MBTs within days, so the wipe never really landed.
Some things are clearly out of balance and we'll fix them. Others have the community split, so we want to see how those play out first.
We won't be doing a knee jerk reset this weekend, as that would be unfair on everyone already enjoying the climb. Instead, we're looking at significantly bringing forward Season 3 and some of its content, so you get a proper fresh start. More details in our dev vlog next week.
This is what Early Access is for. Thanks for playing and for the feedback.

This one is on me. So many potential winners... I think in future we should spread the rewards out, less focus on one clip? Let me know what you think.
Thousands of clips. #WARDOGS100K is over.
Choosing the top 100 was hard.
