Why are all missions unlocked?

Uhhh.. I just bought the game and it came with all missions unlocked.. Aren't they supposed to unlock one by one as you complete them?

Used to be like that but some people found some of the missions so frustrating (cough stealth missions) it put them off playing further and they would quit playing the game in rage and frustration before even unlocking some of the battle missions they might have liked later in the campaign. So this is probably the best way, let people choose what missions they want. You can play them in order if you want. probably playing the first one or two missions in the campaign is a good idea to start with in any case. If you want to progress chronologically through fighting with early war equipment up to the late war stuff then you can progress through the different years of war playing the missions in order. They are standalone stories anyway.

I had to go through and unlock the campaign missions the old way back in the day (last year). I actually enjoy the stealth missions to jump in and mess around and play for fun when you aren't "forced" to play them. Some of the DLC missions are the best of all, really fill out the campaign.

Stealth is optional , you can always do it loud .

Yeah, but more often than not, your reserves and supplies are limited.

So going in guns blazing could go horribly wrong if you aren't careful.

Basically all the missions were unlocked because a lot of players struggled with the stealth missions (that were quite early in the campaign) where you get a very limited number of soldiers.

Not everyone wants to babysit 6 soldiers to make sure they don't look the wrong way at the wrong time.

So because they gave up on a "hard" mission they never got to the other missions that they might enjoy more.

I think the change was good overall. You can choose not to do the missions out of order. I like choice. It's a personal choice that you alone can exercise.

Personally I liked the stealth missions. It makes keeping your soldiers alive important as opposed to Skirmish where you just get a almost unlimited number of replacements.

This is one of the reasons I like Conquest.

Hm, I totally get where the change is coming from, but I do feel there is a feeling of accomplishment lost.

I wish the devs just included a way to skip a mission after a certain amount of fails, instead of just unlocking everything. I quite like seeing missions unlock after pulling them off.
