As Wardogs Season 3 looms, Bulkhead claims to have built 'one of the world's most sophisticated anti-cheat systems', assisted by 'machine learning and AI'

Wardogs' Season 3 is on the horizon, and UI/UX director Howard Philpott, also known as Bulkhead, has addressed the mistakes made in Season 2 and discussed the upcoming changes. During the Season 2 launch, a cash-incentive experiment to rebalance the game's weaker blue team was dropped after just one day, and the studio's attempt to address player concerns negatively impacted the overall enjoyment of the military FPS.

Season 3 will feature a new map called Sabatulo, which focuses on urban environments with close-quarters fights, as well as multi-track unlocks allowing any item to be unlocked by playing any role. A Limited mode has also been introduced to level the playing field for casual players, removing high-tier weapons, armor, and vehicles from the roster.

Finally, Bulkhead claims to have built one of the world's most sophisticated anti-cheat systems, which was launched using machine learning and AI to analyze 187 million hours of gameplay data. The system banned 185,000 accounts upon launch, and Bulkhead CEO Joe Brammer explained that the studio needed data on cheating to build effective case reports.
