Wardogs Boss Admits Season 2 Failings
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Bulkhead, the developer of Wardogs, admitted to mistakes in the rough launch of Season 2, specifically regarding XP and cash bonuses for playing Blue Team, which unintentionally led to experienced players quickly overpowering matches.
- The bonuses, intended to improve Blue Team's reputation, resulted in the team dominating every match, prompting Bulkhead CEO Joe Brammer to remove the boosts in a hotfix and acknowledge the misstep.
- Despite criticism about not addressing core issues like team spawn placement, Bulkhead stated they rebalanced the spawn system for the Bakurani map but recognized the experiment with bonuses was a failure.
- Wardogs remains in Early Access, with developers actively adjusting gameplay and features while managing the game's rapid sales growth and preparing for a future console release, including compromises for Xbox Series S compatibility.
- Season 2 also introduced a new rain system affecting gameplay by reducing visibility and audio cues, adding a new tactical layer for players.
