If you look up the phrase 'Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory', you'd likely find this game featured prominently. I've enjoyed every installment of this series, even the less popular ones, but this one is a complete disappointment. While the gameplay is solid, the frustrating design choices only amplify the negative experience. In the SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN, you must remain online at all times, which means you cannot pause the game! If you try to take a break in a safe spot, you get booted for inactivity. There are no difficulty settings available and, most shockingly, NO saveable checkpoints! So, if you reach 90% of a level, which can take 45 minutes to an hour, and need to step away for any reason, you’ll have to replay that entire segment upon returning. This is something you might expect in online multiplayer, but not in campaign mode. I was really excited about this release, but ended up selling it after repeatedly facing the same mission due to these design flaws. It wasn’t about dying; it was simply the lack of checkpoints and pause options. These choices suggest that the designers don’t care about delivering a quality experience for those who prefer Campaign mode. Truly disappointing.
