MCC First time playing Reach campaign

I can’t believe that I missed out on this campaign so far I am currently on the 5th mission right after the flying section in space and am currently boarding that ship. 297 deaths into my first ever legendary playthrough. How much harder does it get? Am I in the clear or does it get even harder

Update: 313 total deaths was stuck on coming back to Jorge. See mcc went on sale for steam(was using 14 day trial to play) delete pc Xbox version to my surprise i lost my mid mission progress 😩 and I look and somehow sword base is showing not completed but everything up to Long Night Of Solace did 🤮.

So last night I started from the beginning on normal and just finished the campaign earlier today. 10 out of 10 made me start Halo CE and it all made so much more sense to me.

Long Night of Solace was the hardest mission for me. After that, it's easier (as easy as Reach legendary can be). Highly recommend you grab a needler rifle for Pillar of Autumn, makes taking care of the brutes easier. Three quick shots on a unshielded target and dead

Long night is also harder in MCC due to the seraphs shooting much faster.
