Time will end at the Score Screen and Rank will be shown after that. * HD Edition (PlayStation 3): On this version and platform, sometimes the credits can lock up (called a 'Credit Freeze'). Unfortunately, this means a run that has this can NOT go on the leaderboards as it has no score screen.
* Sons Of Liberty: The rank screen will NOT show your final rank. For Rank 1, a score screen with a time of 3:00:00 or less, 8 or less Saves, 0 Continues, 3 Alerts, 0 Kills, and 0 Rations, and no special items used is enough for the leaderboards to consider it a Hound Rank.
