Checkpoint and Save System is not good

[Maclintok]

You will lose your mid-mission checkpoint save in the story If you dare step away to join friends for a game of Operations. While the game warns you that your game will resume from the last checkpoint when you quit to the Battle Barge, this is not the case if you jump into another game mode. But what is the point of allowing players to return to the Battle Barge if not to do another activity?

On top of that, the game never indicates when it is actually saving your progress, a best practice in gaming that has been around for decades. Not a major issue were it not for the fact the game does not save your progress once you return to the barge after completing a mission. This is mind-boggling.

Always saved it for me I must say

My Brother and I played about 40 minutes of the campaign co-op and enjoyed it. We then both went for food, and on returning the game hadn't saved anything at all. Quite frustrating.

The clunky design choices on game mode switching and the UI is obviously built for consoles rather than ease of use. Some really annoying design choices by the devs. The game is fine, but the front end and some systems just seem like nobody even tested them in Alpha.

They just needed dedicated options for each game mode on the main menu. Simple.

I said the same thing.

I had to replay an entire "mission" because it didn't save the progress. And if it doesn't have manual save, at least it should inform you if you reached the checkpoint.

Just happened to me. Lost a lot of progress on a mission because the checkpoint system is made by a total imbecile. WTF is this ♥♥♥♥, seriously.

Warning, any unsaved progress will be lost.

Saber Games are basically babies that were given a pristine franchise. They’re good on the core gameplay loop but they need lots of work on the actual ♥♥♥♥ real AAA studios basically breeze by at this point.
