The game can’t be played split-screen. So its LIVE focused but doesn’t even have a campaign matchmaking system or a campaign server browser? Reach had one and it didn’t even need one since you could split-screen. Can 343 please add it to Halo 5? I’d love to co-op through the campaign.
Hey OP, the feature was dropped due to the very low population of users that actually made use of it. At this stage in Halo 5’s life cycle, you’re not going to aee features like that added back in.
Best thing to do is add your thoughts to one of the wish list threads in general discussion

So it was in at launch but was patched out? I hope H6 will have it.

It was never there. I belive what sticker is saying is that it was part of the previous Halo games and wasn’t utilized as much.
Yes, sorry, I was typing this up as I was getting of the train. The feature was in Halo Reach and I think(?) Halo 4? But it wasn’t used by many people and wasn’t brought on board for Halo 5. I think these days most folk use LFG sites, Reddit, Discord or Xbox Community features to find players, that’s probably your best bet
Why not use the looking for group feature?

Yeah that seems to work quite well or look up a group.

I think the problem with that is people just want to get into a game quickly without having to talk to random people (anxiety), just generally want to just play with random players quickly then not feel pressured to keep playing if the people are pretty bad or if they mess around too much.

Yeah, basically I want to play co-op, not join counselling sessions. With no split-screen option, this is a MUST in a Halo game.

Well sadly H5 doesn’t have this but 343i did say all future main Halo games will have split-screen. The problem with H5 is the dev’s seemed to think people only cared about graphics, well the game suffered in both features, content because of things like this.

It was only in Halo Reach. I think what you were thinking of, in regards of Halo 4, was Spartan Ops matchmaking.
But you’re right about it not being utilized as much as Bungie originally wanted it to be.
I personally use the Xbox group search or Waypoint here to find players for anything.

Yes that sounds about right, I might be wrong but I think Ops didn’t even have it till it was patched in later since I remember having to do a lot of missions solo plus it’s kind of strange that MCC doesn’t seem to have this.

Yes you’re right sort of. Matchmaking for Spartan Ops was only available an episode at a time, allowing for only 5 chapters at once. However once all the episodes and chapters were released, they up’ed it to 10 chapters randomly to matchmake with.
Hopefully within the upcoming patches for the MCC, they’ll include matchmaking for Spartan Ops. I’m sure it’s not on their priority list, but would still be nice.

Sounds like might be right, been ages since did them plus the Spartan Ops got a bit repetitive since most of them ended up just being recycling of the same missions. Sure the matchmaking should get added, hopefully we hear more when the MCC beta update goes live for the Xbox Preview members. I think 343i are out this week so I guess we might hear more next week or the week after.
Yeah, I enjoyed doing glitches and easter eggs with randoms in Reach!
Was actually one of my favorite things to do in reach for campaign.
