You might be thinking of an area of the game known as The Gauntlet by its fans. It is in the Engineering level. I don't consider this area far into the game though. But it is the only area where respawning is a real problem that I can recall. As far as the first game goes, I don't think it had a problem with too much respawning at all but I haven't played it in many years so I can't be sure. What Spalls describes sounds like it makes the game just about unplayable to me.
