Ace story glitch (not dying)

[Stars_of_Sirius]

Just thought I would throw this up in case anyone wants to try replicating it etc. 

 

Was playing mission 2 on ACE and I died a fuck ton. Once I finally beat the mission I was stuck in an infinite loading screen so I closed app. Started game back up and I had 3 medals (the two objective ones and completing mission one) for the mission so I guess it registered, however I wanted to play it safe so I did continue story. It started me back at the last checkpoint and I quickly finished the mission again. At the end it gave me a 4th medal medal for not dying on ACE difficulty which I obviously didn't do. 

 

Not sure if it can be replicated by closing app during the loadscreen at the end of the mission, or somehow used to complete story on an easy difficulty and registering for ACE. Just wanted to throw it up here. I'll try it on the next mission because I am curious.
