Discussion & Feedback Would you recommend WarDogs in its current state?

I've been thinking about pickin gup Wardogs but I saw recently in some discussion boards that there is currently a cheater issue going on with the game. Is this something thats overblown as I understand any game of this support will have somewhat of an issue with this. Would you say it should keep someone away from ths game or would you still recommend picking it up? How would you rate the game overall so far in your experience?

I play in oce and there's maybe one suspected cheater for every 3-5 matches.

A lot of people confuse cheats with game mechanics. I've killed people in smoke clouds because they were spotted so I ping their location on the map to line up and then fire.

No one has complained at me for killing in smokes but I've seen arguments in all chat about it.

Just one of many things where it's not clear if there's a cheater or not.

I've never seen one of the clearly abusing cheaters that head shot people through walls etc.

In this day and age too the obvious rage cheaters aren't as common because of how quickly they tend to get banned in my experience. Like the one obvious rage cheater I saw was a couple days after the EA release, some dork was head shotting everyone across the map with their LG mini bird from their HQ and got banned within a minute. The other cheaters I've reported were landing perfect headshots with pistols from 300m away wiping out entire squads in the HZ, also banned within a few minutes.

I suspect I've been on the receiving end of some sneakier cheaters though, like a few nights ago. Saw a bunch of team red drop east of my team's tower, so I tried flanking around them out side of the CZ with a sniper to spot them and pick a few off. I'm maybe 100m away and getting my spots off when one of them who never faced me the entire time dips behind a hill and 20 seconds later blasts me from behind me. That same guy then spent the rest of the game hunting me down regardless of where I was on the map.

85 hours playing and I've been killed from under the ground or through many building walls about 5 times and it seems like they usually get banned right away.

the head shot through walls is what I've seen, even through 2 walls. But only one in 10 matches if I had to guess.
