Have you ever hit a bad checkpoint?

Modern Warfare 2 - Takedown. Fuck that mission. Every checkpoint was a struggle to get to, and every checkpoint was horrible. 1 in particular, just before you climb the ladder, you can be checkpointed in a small doorway with enemies below and above you having a clear sightline. But, better than auto-save just not bothering *glares at the mako missions in ME*

Edit: Oh, I can't believe I forgot the worst: Oblivion.

Spoiler

At the end of the game, Martin can't go doors once the daedra prince appears. And you checkpoint once you enter the temple. I used invisibility and skipped merily into the temple, got auto-saved, and then in horror realised my mistake. Last save was 4 hours ago, and I was 10 minutes from completing the game. /Wrists.

In Metro 2033 I was on the surface with a broken gas mask. I would die within 10 seconds. However I thankfully managed to find another one mere metres behind me.

I now have a checkpoint in the "communist/fascist" battle bit, where I die as soon as it loads. Haven't played it since that.

One Time, I was Playing Halo: Reach, I was on the mission in the 'Saber', and had started a backflip to avoid a 'Banshee'. However, I had Backflipped into 'Anchor 9'. "Well, Thats a fail." I thought to myself. Checkpoint reloads...I am halfway through my fatal flip. I raged.
