Nightfall is meant to be this way. It is supposed to be challenging. What you're describing already exists in the form of Weekly Heroic strikes.

Man nightfall has more modifiers and most importantly epic shields Do you even operate in Destiny bro?
-
And they still will be challenging but will allow for more diverse gameplay while making it a little more replayable. Adding CPs will not turn the nightfall into the weekly heroic/make it any easier (in the sense of damage input/output and health).
-
This really sounds like a you problem. There aren't even checkpoints in normal strikes so there really shouldn't be any on the nightfall
-
Yes there are. There are checkpoints in eveything but the nightfall

I can see your point. I don't mind restarting the strike - it puts pressure on a fireteam to work together. I just wish it restarted the fireteam at the beginning instead of kicking them all the way out to orbit again.
