The team behind Wardogs has confirmed that Lonestar, AKA the blue team, loses more than other team, and is making big changes in Season 2 to fix that.

Since Wardogs launched in early September, there have been no shortage of memes mocking the game's blue team, Lonestar. For whatever reason, Lonestar tends to lose a lot, and there are a plethora of videos showing Lonestar players crashing helicopters at base and making fools of themselves.

Speaking exclusively with IGN, Bulkhead confirmed that Lonestar's win percentage is lower than other teams in Wardogs, but it has actually increased over time. Lonestar's win rate was roughly 10% during the game's alpha, but has risen to 20% in recent weeks. Bulkhead co-founder Howard Philpott noted that this is partially a result of players choosing to support Lonestar because they see it as an underdog challenge. He even joked that blue team's reputation was a bit of a PR issue.

"So originally, and this is key to not misquote, it was like 10% in the alpha," he said. "So that then led to the perception: blue is bad, don't join blue. And then everyone tries to click on green and click on red because they're competitive and they want to win. So they're going on the better team. More recently, it's closer to 15 to 20%. It's probably closer to 20% right now, where people have actively been joining blue team to try and make them win, which is quite entertaining to watch.
