Checkpoint frequency

Postby ElroyJ » Mon Apr 11, 2011 9:25 pm

I really enjoy Anomaly's frequent checkpoints in the first four missions; they allow for a lot of experimentation. Basically I just try an approach that seems reasonable and if I mess up and one of my vehicles gets destroyed, I push the "restart checkpoint" button and find something better.

However, I'm now on mission 5 and it seems that checkpoints are really lacking. I mean, I have to navigate through dozens of enemy towers while trying to destroy the two main objectives in this map, and when I make a mistake I'm being put back almost to the beginning of the mission. Is that on purpose? It seems like a huge "difficulty" leap. I'm a bit disappointed because I liked the trial-and-error approach so much in the early missions :)

Nevertheless, thanks for an excellent game!

Yes, I agree. The checkpoints seem to get farther and farther apart as you go on in the game. In the last missions, it feels like you can lose 10 or 15 minutes of work if you have to revert to a checkpoint. This meant I ended up playing very conservatively in order to not have to repeat parts of the game over and over again. Basically I sent my convoy on very short loops so that things don't get out of control and my shields have time to regenerate. It's a boring way to play, but I feel like I was forced into it to avoid repetition.

I realize there's not obvious breaks on some of the long parts of the missions. Maybe you could make a marked spot on the map where we could drive our convoy through to get a checkpoint.

As a reaction to my initial post: when replaying mission 5 I did encounter more checkpoints. Perhaps the checkpoint locations have a strict position, i.e. you MUST drive through a particular street to activate a checkpoint. If you take another route: bad luck.

Anyway, a bit more transparency with respect to checkpoint locations would be appreciated!

I'm sure that is part of the problem - some kind of indicator would be very welcome
