I believe the game did autosave at "checkpoints" when certain triggers were met.

I don't think that was what the parent I replied to meant by "checkpoints" when he said

> made me explore the same checkpoint dozens of times,

FC1 checkpoints were game progression checkpoints. FC2 checkpoints were in-game road checkpoints.

I did mean the autosave checkpoints (and never played FC2).

So attacking, in the end load again, different strategy ..

Yep. You could also open in-game console and use a command to force checkpoint
