Editorial policy
The Hood Warfare Guide editorial team is responsible for the pages on hoodwarfare.xyz. We use public sources, disclose AI assistance and distinguish documented facts from advice. Send corrections to contact@hoodwarfare.xyz.
Source checks
We use AI-assisted research organization, drafting and editing, with source review before publication. AI output is not evidence. Our current guides are based on public documentation and community reports, not firsthand gameplay testing. Reading a store page or watching a trailer does not establish tested performance, a working invite flow or the best loadout. We do not publish individual operator names or claim credentials we have not documented.
Rules we follow
Each page has a distinct reader question. We cite the source supporting a claim and date changing figures. Missing information in the sources we checked is a gap, not proof that a feature cannot exist. We do not present unverified advice as an official rule, publish our own untested star rating, copy long reviews or link to repackaged installers.
- Steam app details for price, platforms, modes, maps, and requirements.
- Steam news for patch notes.
- Steam Web API for a player-count snapshot.
- trapstar.games for the studio’s own description.
- YouTube watch-page metadata for an upload date, only when we embed that video.
Facts, reports, advice and tests
Official facts are attributed to the relevant game store page, studio statement or patch note. A newer patch can change an older rule, so the game app ID, version and date matter. Player reports are attributed to their discussion or review and are not independently verified purchase records or confirmed bug diagnoses.
Editorial suggestions are labeled as suggestions and explain their reasoning. Our current pages do not claim firsthand gameplay tests. If we later publish tested findings, we will identify the method, game version, date and relevant conditions. Reliable documented testing can support a finding even when the studio has not published a specification.
Price samples identify the region and date. Player-count samples identify the app and sample time; aggregate concurrent counts are not daily active users or sales. A difference between sources may have several causes, and we do not declare a cause without supporting evidence.
Images and embedded media
Locally hosted original illustrations are labeled as illustrations, not gameplay screenshots. They do not prove map layouts, weapon behavior or visual performance. Official YouTube players and Steam store widgets remain third-party embeds with their source identified.
Public availability of an official image is not a record of permission to copy it. Before hosting third-party media locally, we require a documented permission or license covering the intended use and retain its source, owner and scope. Creator footage is attributed to its channel; showing a video does not endorse every claim made in it.
Corrections
Email contact@hoodwarfare.xyz with the page URL, the disputed statement and a supporting source. The editorial team reviews corrections against the relevant source, including corrections to our interpretation of an older source. When a substantive correction is made, we revise the text and its visible updated date. We do not take a fee to change a comparison row.
Questions
Do you use AI?
Yes, for research organization, drafting and editing. Published claims require source review; AI-generated text is not a factual source or evidence of gameplay testing.
Who is responsible?
The Hood Warfare Guide editorial team, reachable at contact@hoodwarfare.xyz. Individual operator names are not published. We are independent of Trapstar Games.
