I just had to share this with you all, even though "I" will be the one you all laugh at. I picked upi Warhead when it came out since I did enjoy the first one. I don't spend hours at a time playing games so it took me a while to get very deep into it. I got to a place where you were at the airfield and you had to battle all these large flying alien machines. Then due to some ATI driver problems I started getting massive slowdowns in that area. But I soldiered through and came upon this massive alien machine. But even with all the choppiness I finally beat the da** thing (machine that is). Then I am called to meet the Atol at a container so I headed out. I got into the container yard, so I ducked behind on and did a Quick Save then exited out to start doing some research to fix the choppiness. But due to other games, real life, Win7 playtime, Forum Wars, etc, etc, I never got back to playing for quite some time. Yesterday I decided to get back to it. Imagine my surprise when I get the the meeting point with the Atol when All that happens next is a cutsceen and then the credits roll. I had beaten the End Boss and didn't even realize it until months later. DUH on me.
 
Haha even I wasn't a 100% sure at that point whether the game would end there. But since I knew the game was shorter than the first one and I was trying to keep myself interested in the story as well, I kinda saw it coming.
 
You know its kind of funny, a similar thing happened to me back in the day with Fear. I decided to have a night of gaming after weeks of being sidetracked by real life, and decided not to go on a booze cruise. I just wanted some time to myself and relax. I load up the game, and after five minutes of playing I come to the ending. Literally seconds after that, my phone rings and just looking at the called ID, my head had a nuclear explosion just like in the ending.
 
LOL. this happened to me with Halo 2.
a few years ago, when i was into Xbox, i borrowed Halo 2, and tried to finish it in the 3 days i loaned it for. we ran out of time, so i kept the save file..but didn't finish the game.
so when i bought the game months later, i decided to restart the whole campaign. then i found out i only had 1 level to go to finish the game. MAJOR gay.
 
Lol!

I don't know the last time I beat a game, cod1 maybe. I just stick to multiplayer but this story makes me want to start single player again :)
 
happaned to me on CoD WaW, last mission, last check point, saved, and never really played it again for some time, then while i was goin threw my xbox games i was like o_Oi still haven't beatin teh store mode, lets do that..... 5 min later im like =_= not cool
 
This happened to me on the first Crysis! I saved the game right after you get on the boat and I didn't play it for a few weeks then only to realize the game was pretty much over :eek:
 
Yep that happened to me on one of the HL2 Episodes. :)

*In before we get all the people that feel they absolutely must chime in and talk about how they hate Crysis and how badly programmed it is*
