Local Splitscreen Coop for HCEA?

Games Other Halo
1

Hey guys I just wanted to know if local splitscreen coop will be available in Halo CE Anniversary.
It was in the original but I guess this feature could interfere with the new “nostalgia button”.
What if one player presses it? Will the game change for both or will only one screen switch?
I would like to know whether 343i already said anything about this issue.

Also, if a 343 employee happens to read this he/she would be welcome to answer this question. It doesn’t spoil anything so they should be good to go.

I don’t see why not. The reason you listed is kind of stupid, no offense.

There are a couple of places you can get some awesome additional info on Halo: Anniversary

There’s this exclusive interview with Frankie & 343 and we have a new 343 Sparkast out with David Ellis, Frankie and Dennis Ries!

Spoiler free yet informative :slight_smile:

Thanks, Veronica! :smiley:

The interview only mentions Coop over XBL, I’ll listen in to the podcast for some more clues about offline coop.

And why is this a stupid inquiry, LoneWolf? I can imagine the Xbox having problems applying a graphics layer to one screen while rendering the original game on the other one. I mean, I am in no way an expert nor do I have any deeper knowledge about game engines and the computing power of an Xbox, but it just seems that a feature like this could cause some problems.
As you can see, a little offense was taken :wink:

The splitscreen co-op was and has always been an essential feature in a video game to me, and the lack of it in so many video games just makes its regular appearance in Halo that much greater, and is a huge credit to the franchise in my opinion. To not include it in the remake would break my heart.
