As someone who sometimes doesn't have the time to finish an entire level in one sitting, it was really annoying to find out that the game doesn't save checkpoints and instead only lets you restart from the beginning of the level. Maybe it's a minor thing to some people but I find it kind of annoying.

I don't know how it happened, but i quit mid-way through a level, and when i picked it pack up, it dropped me at my last checkpoint in that level. I don't know if it always works, but i think you can quit and come back to where you were in every level.

Hey, I'm the lead designer of the game (moi- http://www.twitter.com/nelsormensch) and yeah, any time you quit a level, it will reload at the most recent checkpoint. It's not a feature we really made much noise about (sorry you didn't think it would do that!), just couldn't find a good place to put that info, honestly. Hopefully better now that you know though.

How long are these levels? The Mad Moxxi arenas for Borderlands didn't have mid saves, and I spent ~8 hours on each of the large arenas. No saving during that whole time. I probably could have set it up better, but oh well.

The levels didn't seem that long. You don't have 15-20 mins to play each level?

Guys, guys....it DOES save mid-level. There's no manual way to do it, but it autosaves at each checkpoint.
