If you took 2 similarly skilled teams and pinned them against each other in a custom match, their connection or proximity to the server will dictate the outcome of the match 99% of the time. Without the ability to have LAN parties offline, similarly skilled friends will never truly know who’s best at Halo 5. This kind of makes H5 the least competitive Halo in a sense, since all multiplayer is online only and the server location and ping play such heavy rolls in this game.
I want Halo 6 to have offline support like offline LAN, offline Forge, offline Firefight and that other split feature that threads get locked over.
Microsoft/343i please make it happen or at least give this some consideration.
