The checkpoint system in these games are ass

[the one and only myslimi ©]

I'm playing on legendary and if I play through a few tough fights that took 10-15 minutes I expect I'd get a checkpoint at some point but no I get sent back to the first tough encounter and have to do it all over again. I don't mind difficult games and prefer to play games on the hardest difficulty because of that amazing feeling you get when defeating a hard boss in Sekiro or in Halo's case getting through some tough encounter but these checkpoints are just plain ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid and should've been fixed for MCC. Before anyone comes to say skill issue or that's how it is on Legendary because it's supposed to be difficult is just coping because there's a BIG difference between fights being difficult and tedious. In Halo some of the time it's super ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tedious and frustrating having to do two, three or four tough encounters and dying because Buck can't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shoot the turret on the Warthog in ODST. It's so dumb that Buck can't drive the Warthog on Coastal Highway forcing you to drive and lose your mind while Buck shoots five round bursts on the turret that has unlimited ammo and doesn't overheat.
Maybe it really is skill issue that I haven't figured out how the checkpoint system works or something. If these checkpoints weren't so tedious for me I wouldn't have any problems with Legendary besides Knights in Halo 4 (holy ♥♥♥♥ they're so bullet spongy), rocket launcher flood, sniper jackals in Halo 2 and Brutes with the Bruteshot that doesn't need to be reloaded and they can just spam constantly and melt you in seconds especially in ODST and it's so dumb in Reach that the Energy Sword doesn't one shot on Legendary.
If anyone has an idea how these checkpoints work please tell me so these games can go from tedious to difficult and rewarding. Also if anyone else is experiencing this same issue let me know that I'm not the only one.

Edit: I now got to the first section in Halo 4 where you can pilot a Banshee and I'm amazed how 343i have made the Banshee absolute ♥♥♥♥. It's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless doing no damage and with the insane tracking ability the enemies have it's impossible to stay alive in the Banshee and to add salt on the wounds they have the area surrounded by invisible barriers so you can't fall back and let your shields recharge. I didn't think it would be possible to ruin Banshees or vehicles in general but 343i have managed to do it. I'm really regretting playing this on Legendary with all this ♥♥♥♥ happening in the previous two chapters and it's kinda ass that the only viable gun is the Lightrifle. Suppressor is total ass and shouldn't have been made at all, Boltshot is decent but doesn't have enough ammo, Scattergun is useless because it has zero range and the Covenant weapons do no damage to Prometheans.
Found a lot more things wrong with Halo 4 Legendary besides the Knights being bullet sponges and I thought the Brutes in Halo 2 were tanky xd. Didn't expect all this to pop up in the next two chapters I've played.

Its legendary what did you expect a cakewalk?
Maybe just play on Heroic and stop whining.
Nobody is forcing you to play legendary.

Tbf the pve balancing in these games is hot garbage on higher difficulties. It's just a matter of taking things slow and being methodical in how you take on large groups of enemies which isn't always fun.

Mostly comes down to the damage output. Halo Reach's precision weapons are more effective on brutes and Halo 4 had more powerful weapons but unfortunately 343i repeated the same mistakes bungie did and made promethean knights bullet sponges.

"Let's let these guys teleport, oneshot you, and get revived, and also take huge damage before killing you. Let's let this dude fly and revive, and take unholy amounts of bullets to kill from ranged (otherwise you will likely die). Let's make these dog things piss easy to kill lmao idk"
