How did I miss this!
 
The big question is if it's worth half price yet ha! I kind of want that reddit post of what all is wrong with it with a big "RESOLVED" stamp on each issue to track.
 
Well Its on sale for the Christmas season! It may not be perfect but its still fun if you go in with an open mind.
 
Maybe I missed it in a prior update...but did the M4/M16 analog rifle have the 40mm AP unlock removed, or is that just my memory playing tricks on me? Now it has an incendiary 40mm, but no AP.
