You can save quite a bit of time simply by force quitting (alt+f4, etc.) the game. My question is should this be allowed, and if it is, is the timer going to be paused to only count in-game time? Further, I personally think that full game runs should have removed load times. Some people have slower pc's and will take unfair time losses if load times are not removed.

When exactly does it save you time? Also I agree, loading times should not affect runs.

It saves time in the safehouse, its essentially an instant teleport to the mission select area. Since I posted that I thought about it and I think that it shouldn't be allowed. It would cut down time but it would make the game less fun to run and could cause issues.
