Before buying Spec Ops: The Line, I'd like to know what type of saves it supports (e.g. Auto-Save / Checkpoints; Save Anywhere; etc.)

Also how does it rate on the difficulty scale? Checkpoints can be okay as long they're frequent and the game isn't brutally hard.

Story-driven games are my favorite type of games, and everything I've seen about this game indicates the story is really memorable, albeit mature and brutally realistic.

Thanks,
Craig

Checkpoints.

Themken: Checkpoints.
Thanks Themken. Is it a single checkpoint at the end of each mission/level? Or are there many checkpoints spread out through the mission? If I exit in the middle of a level, does it resume on the nearest checkpoint in the level? Or at the beginning of the level?

As far as I have experienced there are frequent checkpoints spread out evenly across the levels. So you never have to redo more than 3-5 minutes worth of gameplay - if even that. It's very reasonable and not very annoying at all.
Just as WarriorsNest said. Also, if you quit the game just before a checkpoint you will have to replay those few minutes since last one.

WarriorsNest and Themken,

Thank you both for the quick response. Exactly the info I needed. I think I'll give the game a try.

Sorry for the slow response. I could not remember how often the checkpoints were as I have been stuck in one place for like a year now but think I have figured out a working tactic to get further. I watched a video, of a chapter that I have already played, on fast forward to check and they were indeed only a few minutes apart.

Corrected the spelling. It is a common misconception among North Americans particularly that my name has something to do with 'Ken' when that is completely not so.

It was a typo on my part. :-D
