: Nah, they allow silliness like this. In some respects they can sometimes be
: sloppier about checking things to make sure it doesn't happen (like
: checking for enemy activity), it's just that they also have a
: double-reversion system to try and keep it from becoming that huge of an
: issue.

: But yeah, I recognize that this is an issue, even if for some reason it's
: almost never happened to me. I'm more talking about regular checkpoint
: pacing.

I've had bad checkpoints like that in Halo 1 very rarely (I was goofing around on SC and drove a Warthog off the platform to try to get to the bottom of the map room's shaft; I got a checkpoint in midair), but when you get them, you're stuck with them and you're probably going to have to restart the level. This was fixed in later games where if you get a bad checkpoint and keep dying repeatedly within seconds of respawning, the game will eventually sent you back to the checkpoint before your current one.
