Darkvoid where I died when I got the check point during a rail shooting segment, when I reloaded that checkpoint I died again.
Have you ever hit a bad checkpoint?

Yup, in Resident Evil 4, I was fighting "It". I had no ammo left and had saved just before then. To this day I haven't beaten that game yet because of it.

That was a very painful 20 mins too. I damn near broke my controller a few times because of all the dying I was doing. Plus it didn't help that I was low on ammo for a lot of my guns, granades saved me there.
There was part in a Xmen game on the PS2 that had a countdown timer and if it ran out, game over. When the timer had 20seconds left I went and saved the game. There was no way for me to escape in 20 sec but, at the time, I thought nothing of it. I figured, if I fail it would restart from when the timer started, but nooooo, you go back to your last(and my only) savepoint... at 20sec... when I couldn't escape... 3/4 of the way through the game...
It's depressing that the game was actually very fun, but enough to replay 3/4 of the game because no one blocked save points during a game over countdown timer. It was a rental so I've never felt any compulsion to go and finish it(like I do when I own the game).

Just cause 2. I saved the game after a part of a mission, then I was exploded by a rocket launcher guy. My last save was 4 hours previous.
Playing the Hobbit computer game, I was in the forest, being chased by a swarm of spiders and almost no health.
I jump towards a save point, only to return RIGHT as the spiders catch up and kill me.
Reload... Fall right into spiders.
Again and again and again...

Many, many times in Oblivion/Fallout 3, it would crash as I was autosaving, and my last back up save was 2 days ago. I got in the habit of saving often, but it's still annoying.
Not a checkpoint, but many years ago I manually saved over my only save file in Tomb Raider 2 on the PS1 about half a second before being crushed by a giant boulder. I reloaded about 15 times but there was no escape. Had to restart. Very sad.
Yeah, that happened to me too, only I started that quest pretty late-game, so it spawned a giant radscorpion. It is quite difficult to attract the bugger's attention so it would go after me instead of Evan King. Bleh.TheYellowCellPhone said:
Less of a checkpoint and more just a 'WHY EPIC WHY'. Gears of War 1. Insane. Look at all dat juice.
During my Halo 2 Legendary run I managed to get an autosave during an idiot run to some cover and I soon found out their were two Jackal Snipers.
Controllers were harmed during the reminiscence of this message.

I was playing MW2 on Veteran, that one level where you have to flee downhill after gathering intel at some mansion. Otherwise, Veteran wasn't that hard, but during that particular moment enemies were EVERYWHERE and cover was nowhere to be found, you just had to run. And it auto-saved right at the point where about 10 gun barrels from every direction were aimed directly at my face. Load, die, load, die, load, die. Gods that took some effort to get out of that...
In Max Payne I also managed to quick-save instead of quick-load when I was in the process of falling to my death, in one of those dream levels. And I hadn't used the regular save function in quite some time. Crap crap crap...
Crappy saving also resulted in me fucking up my first Arcanum save game. I apparently accepted some quest a bit too early in the game, when I had to rescue some guy from an ogre. I saved it right before I broke open his cage, but I couldn't leave the cave without the ogre spawning. And of course, that ogre was way more powerful than I was, so I was basically stuck in that cave.

I had a really bad one in CoDBlOps.
It was in the mission where you play as the guy from the CIA and you have to escape on some rooftops. There was a checkpoint right at the start of a really long jump and every time i re-spawned i would fall down as i didn't have a chance to get enough speed.
Spent 5 minutes before i restarted the entire level.

Not actually a checkpoint but a mmo bind point on Everquest. This was long ago. I was in a raid to kill Lady Vox (huge ass dragon). The raid leader advised the casters to bind in the hallway before the dragon so if we died we could come back in and nuke. Of course the raid was a complete wipe and the raid leader failed to mention or realize that ice giants spawned in that hallway. Of course the raid ditched even though some people (myself included) were completely screwed.
Long story short I kept dying over and over. I went from level 47 to 44 (you lose exp when you die). This was back in the olden days of Everquest when that was a significant amount of grinding. I almost gave up on the game until a few days later I decided to log in at an attempt to escape. Luckily enough a raid was going on right then and I was able to get out of there.

Managed to hit one in Halo: Reach just as I'd skidded a Warthog out over a precipice in a bend and into the ocean below.
BF:BC2 on the satellite mission (the part where you drive.) basically, i crashed the jeep into the lake (blame Hags for blowing it up when i was taking a shortcut) and we had to run. basically i thought 'may as well see how far we can go before time runs out.' and then there was a check point. i never made it.
and i never got the jeep back. so i had to restart the entire fucking mission.
