Couch Co-op

I’ve been looking up and down for this info, but can anyone confirm how many players can play Campaign locally (that is, per Xbox)? I’m assuming that its 2 per console like the last all of the games, but I’m still holding out hope. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

It is actually 4 per console.

Source? Last I check, it’s still 2 per console for Campaign and Spartan Ops.

I recall someone saying War Games was two local as well.

2 local for co op and I believe also for MM. However it is still 4 player split for customs.

Hm…I did not realize that the number of players on a console would actually be changed. Why get rid of a good thing.

Let’s hope for the best then. I don’t know why the hell they would take it out. Stupid if you ask me.

It’s for performance and lag issues in matchmaking.

Back when the old website was up, it gave details about the game. One of them was “local players: 1-4”.

For matchmaking, only two players per console though.

That is unfortunate. I loved playing campaign and Big Team at my house with my brother and two other buddies. I am for once disappointed.

That’s extremely disappointing…

Sorry, I said multiplayer when I meant Spartan Ops.
