Local Play?

Im wondering WHY did 343 take out the local co-op play…you ABSOLUTELY NEED to have TWO Xbox 360’s to play co-op with a friend, you can’t just do it local.
Not everyone has two xboxes.
Why did they do this??

Just create a new profile on your Xbox.

Yes I JUST did that and I wont let me enter that profile at the same time, if i enter with my main account it take out my other account.
Is there something extra I have to do or something?

EDIT: Nevermind, Found out it had to be local.
man i’m slow.

Did you press Y and change the network?

Yeah, I didn’t really pay much attention to it until it prompted me to.
