Day 1 without Wardogs

Day 1 without Wardogs. I woke up, opened Steam, saw the beta was closed, and immediately understood why Victorian people used to just wander into the ocean.

I walked outside and saw a construction site. For a brief moment I wondered how many supplies it would cost to build a FOB there. Then I heard a helicopter overhead and instinctively expected it to dump flares. It flew away peacefully. Absolutely pathetic.

Later I caught myself looking at a hill outside town and thinking that would be a disgusting spotter position. I have apparently stopped perceiving geography as geography. Everything is now either cover, concealment, high ground, or a terrible place for a FOB.

When my Amazon delivery driver finally arrived to unload the pallets of Mountain Dew I ordered, I felt something I haven’t felt since the servers went offline.

The developers claim the beta is over, as though this is a normal thing you can just do. You cannot give a man Wardogs and then simply remove Wardogs, like it's a controlled substance trial.

My friends suggested Battlefield. I laughed. They suggested Squad. I stopped laughing. I've checked Steam six times today. Nothing. Checked Discord. Nothing. I'm currently staring at the Bakurani map like a divorced father looking at old family photos.
