Join Eric from the MMG as we dive into Wardogs. Is it worth the hype? FInd out in the video.


Join Eric, Will, and Scott from the MMG as we dive into the high-stakes 'War Dogs' playtest! In this video, we go through the full closed beta experience, starting with a deep dive into the tutorial to learn about ballistics, equipment weight, and building fortifications. War Dogs features a unique extraction-style economy where your money is persistent, but your gear is lost upon death. Watch as we coordinate with our squad to capture Control Zones, navigate massive maps in transport vehicles, and handle intense sniper fire. From building Forward Operating Bases to surviving artillery strikes and epic helicopter crashes, we explore everything this tactical military sim has to offer. Is War Dogs the next big title in the tactical shooter genre? Check out our first impressions and let us know what you think of the gameplay in the comments below!
