Checkpoints? Like a Call of Duty game?
I hope they will mantain the same "saving system" of TDD.. It was pretty good to me.
Hate the idea of having checkpoint.. as Ossie said: "having checkpoints just adds frustration and breaks down the immersion."

Have you ever played COD? I've played the last 5 iterations, and have never heard of "checkpoints."

The bonus to having checkpoints is it gives you something to fall back on in case the game glitches/bugs to prevent progression, which has happened to me in TDD multiple times. Plus, autosaving checkpoints are more passive/in the background, as opposed to actively saving the game. If you're concerned about immersion, autosave is better, i.e. not requiring player input which reminds them they're playing a game.
