Not bad at all. It would take you ~1500 matches minus challenges and the jackpot to get that in OG Reach, if I'm not mistaken.

Wait nevermind, around 2200 matches. So 550 hours, with 15 minute matches.

People are probably used to other games being faster I suppose.

Yeah I'm assuming most people will be maxed with reach armor wise before the halo CE season

From my perspective- it's not that it's a bad grind, it's that it's incredibly linear.

Back in the original Reach (I'll tread lightly- don't tear me apart, please), there were indeed locked items, but they were optional to purchase and varied in pricing, the insane grind aside.

Every time I unlock something currently in MCC Reach, whilst I have to spend my point immediately else I risk them piling up and having to spend them all at once as everything needs to be bought in order, I only need to compare it to my current one based on the unlock image- it's also noteworthy that (as I believe I'm still early tier 2 and don't quite remember the later tiers), a number of similar items appear to be unlocked in succession (e.g. chest, chest, chest, shoulder, shoulder, shoulder-)

It just doesn't come across as all that fun.

85-120 hours max for unlocking all the season 1 rewards.

That's actually very good to be honest.

I'm level 77 or 78 right now. Though half my playtime was playing the campaign for achievements.

It's incredibly mind-numbing, if you decide to grind it out. I stopped caring, and actually started to enjoy the game more.

Oh definitely- but it is still mind-numbing, to a lesser degree, to not care about customization in a game that features a layer of customization designed to integrate [cosmetically] so heavily with its modes- the "tangible" reward of matchmaking (non-tangible interpretably being rank and experience), Halo Reach's customization history aside.
I wouldn't like to think that a developer would aim for a mentality that ensues disengagement from a system they put together. Gameplay will always be core, but resources shouldn't go to waste and drag down that core, in my imagination.

Just wait until double XP is over with. It's going to be soooooo much worse
