Just a guy jumping from a hot mess into more prosperous waters.
This isn’t surprising, a user found out how to abuse the API to progress without doing lessons by just submitting the expected parameters last year. If they followed through on reporting to Duo then they’ve had plenty of time to address it. Seems like the mod also found out how vulnerable Duo was and took it to it’s natural conclusion.
I recommend checking out Greth’s videos on the current state of the game. He’s an experienced player so his opinions have good reasoning, although I don’t always agree with his views on maps. Personally I’m waiting for them to add 3rd weapon slot and to bring back the Jammer pack. Right now it looks too T:A GOTY for me, which is odd considering that GOTY peaked in 2012; the same year T:A released.
