8 Games Like WARDOGS for Big Team Battles on PC

Squad is the closest thing to a WARDOGS match without the cash. Two teams of 50 fight over objectives on big maps based on real places, split into squads of up to nine with a leader on the radio. Logistics matter: someone has to drive supplies forward and build bases near the front, or the attack runs out of steam.

Gunfights are slow and deadly, and scopes show a real picture-in-picture view. It asks for patience and communication, and new players have more fun in a squad that talks. A co-op mode called Fireteam lets up to five people run shorter missions against AI.

Hell Let Loose is 50 against 50 in World War II, on maps based on real battles like Carentan, Omaha Beach and Stalingrad. You pick one of 14 roles, from medic to tank commander, and your team pushes or holds a front line made of linked capture points.

What makes it feel close to WARDOGS is the resource game behind the shooting. Engineers build supply nodes that pay for tanks and the commander's abilities, and officers place the spawn points everyone else depends on. A team that organizes its logistics usually beats a team that only aims well.

Arma Reforger is set in the Cold War and leans toward simulation. Its Conflict mode is the one for WARDOGS players: two sides fight across a large map for bases, and Bohemia says a match can last from an hour to several days. You move supplies, build up bases and drive or fly people to where the fighting is.

Steam lists cross-platform multiplayer, so PC players can join friends on console. There is also a short single-player campaign, and a big mod workshop means servers can feel very different from each other.

BattleBit Remastered looks like a low-poly toy, but it plays like a giant war game. Servers hold up to 254 players, and most walls and buildings can be blown apart, so a long fight over one town can flatten it.

It's less tactical than WARDOGS and more about chaos, with open voice chat around you, squads, vehicles and a Support class that builds defenses. It has been in Early Access since 2023, so check that servers in your region are busy before you buy.

PlanetSide 2 had three-way wars long before WARDOGS. You join one of three empires and fight for territory across huge continents, with infantry, tanks and aircraft in the same battle. Fights can pull in hundreds of players at once, and the war keeps going instead of ending when a match does.

It's free to play and has been running since 2012, so expect an older game with a lot of systems to learn. Each empire has its own weapons and vehicles, which makes the three-way fights feel different depending on where you stand.

WARDOGS calls itself an all-out warfare shooter, and Battlefield 6's Steam page uses the same words. It has the familiar Battlefield mix: squads, tanks, fighter jets and buildings that come apart when you hit them hard enough.

Matches are shorter and faster than in WARDOGS, and you don't buy your gear with cash. Steam lists cross-platform multiplayer, and there is a single-player campaign as well. It's the most expensive game here and the least tactical, so pick it if you want big explosions more than long planning.

Foxhole is seen from above, not in first person, but it scratches the same itch as WARDOGS' team economy. Thousands of players fight one war that lasts for weeks, and every bullet, truck and tank is made and delivered by other players.

You can spend a whole evening digging trenches, driving supply runs or working in a factory, and still feel like you helped win. Weather freezes rivers and slows artillery, and front lines get flattened by shelling. It's slower and more social than any shooter here, and it gets better once you join a regiment of regular players.

Operation: Harsh Doorstop is free and plays like a modern mil-sim in the style of Squad. Teams fight with vehicles, build sandbag walls and other fortifications, and run supply lines, and local voice chat lets you talk to whoever is standing near you, just like in WARDOGS.

It's in Early Access and leans on the Steam Workshop, so community maps, weapons and vehicles change what you find from server to server. The developers worked on the cancelled Project Reality 2, which tells you the kind of game they are aiming for.
