Major bug in Xbox360 CoD 2

This doesn't surprsie me, from what I can tell, this has the most retarded UI I've seen in a while.
You finish a mission, you get a screen that says "Victory!" and has two options on it, "Continue" and "Save and Quit." What do you think "Save and Quit" does?
If you said "saves the game at the end of the mission and quits to the main menu"...you're wrong! It saves the last CHECKPOINT you were at before you beat the mission, so when you select "Resume game" later you have to play the last couple of minutes of the previous mission again!
If you select continue, it starts loading the next level, then it says "Saving..." while it's loading! So to save your actual mission progress, what you want to do if you want to "save and quit" is select "continue" then quit from the pause screen once the mission starts!
To be fair though, I was lucky I didn't encounter this bug when I was playing...but I was nervous, so I was backing my save game up to the memory card so I'd only lose a day's worth of play if I got hosed...if it helps anyone, I just about never used the mission select menu, I only used "resume game" off the main menu when I came back and I played almost all the levels in order...

I found a post at Gamefaq's yesterday with an update on this.
The person claims to have spoken with Infinity Ward and they've been able to successfully recreate the bug consistently. IW claims that the bug only shows up on retail kits and not the dev kits they were using to test the game. They said to avoid the bug, always make sure you save and quit after every mission and then resume the game from the mission select screen. Don't ever click on next mission or resume mission. IW told this guy they are working on a patch for it so hopefully a fix will be coming soon.

Is it asking too much for them to ship out an already patched version to retail ASAP or are we going to have to wait for a platinum hits release or something?

Heh. Veteran mode rules. The enemy AI is smart and simply ruthless in this difficulty. I love it. It can get frustrating at times to play, but I personally wouldn't want it any other way.
And just wait until you get to the beginning of Crossing the Rhine mission. That is the single most difficult part I came across. That was my 2-3 hour setback.

Ha, I bet! It was frustrating enough on normal difficulty. It took me probably 8 tries to get past that first part. I ended up trying to kill as many with my rifle before advancing. I wasted a ton of ammo but was able to but a decent dent in their numbers. Too bad there was no sniper rifle available though.

The only glitch I had to experience during gameplay was on Perfect Dark Co-op with MrBob. A door that was supposed to open never opened for us. So we had to end it by quitting. =/

As you can see from my gamer card, I beat every mission on Veteran (and have each Achievement completed) so I should have the "Finished the Single Player Campaign on Hardened or Veteran difficulty setting" Achievement too right? Well because of COD2's funny little "delete all of your progress except the last mission you completed" bug, I would now have to beat every mission before the last 2 missions to get the last XBL Achievment (Beat entire game on Veteran or Hardened).
Thanks Activision! No really, thank you! Thank you for making me feel better about only renting your game instead of actually buying it!
