I just bought the halo 5 Xbox one bundle for the kids for Christmas, only to find that the game does not have local coop… I feel ripped off, and stupid for assuming it would be like all the other great game I am able to play with my kids. Thanks 343, maintaining 60 fps is the stupidest reason I have ever heard.
You could’ve researched your product before purchase. Buyers awareness
This has been known for MONTHS before release date, that’s like saying i bought a car assuming it was an automatic and it turned out to be a standard, know what you buy.
Some people don’t have a ton of time to research every detail of a game. Buying a halo game I would assume it had split screen…that was the standard in the past after all.

This… I feel bad for his situation he can’t play 4 player with his kids

It’s literally on the backside of the box. Takes less than 5 seconds to turn it around and see that it only has online multiplayer.

That’s about the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. If you drink Coca Cola every day your whole life and then one day buy the new version of Coke that has cyanide in it, would you research the ingredients to make sure there was no cyanide in your drink? No. 343 industries dropped the ball on this one. Seriously, who the F buys a game assuming they can never play split screen with their friends, or in this case, their children?
Just stupid. The folks over at 343 should be walking around with their tails between their legs until they fix this colossal screw up.

that’s not just a minor “detail”, you simply need to look at the back cover.
to the OP, sorry, i don’t like it either, but they announced this months before release,
which was also almost 2 months ago. like others said, you have no reason to be
dissapointed, it’s been known for a long while now.

Took me about 12 sec to find out on google that Halo 5 does not have local co-op.

This has been known for months. One of the many sacrifices made to fulfil a bad idea.

A 10 second Google search would have solved your issue. You have nobody to blame but yourself.
Side note, I am so glad 60 fps was maintained throughout. Far more important than couch coop.

It was revealed there would be no splitscreen 2 months before release.
The forums are FULL of these posts.
Also, “stupidest reason”?
They were set at that.
When trying to do splitscreen, it fell under 60fps.
So they couldn’t do it.
Later Halo games WILL have it, when more of the Xbox One is understood how to maximize performance.

You don’t really have to research… Just read the back of the box…
yes it it sucks that it’s gone, but gotta read the box man…
Don’t feel bad, just buy Halo The Master Chief Collection. It should be on sale, and it has 4 player coop for multiplayer and all four Halo campaigns in glorious 1080p 60fps.
This person said they bought the bundle so I am assuming it comes with a digital copy. So maybe they didn’t see anything that says its single player…I don’t know I am guessing. I am just saying its an easy mistake to make especially if the standard has been split screen through previous titles. Some people especially parents do not have time to follow every detail of a game like some of us do.

This is what I do when I want to play halo with the kids. Would highly recommend.

Dont have time? It literally takes 2 minutes and a google search.

The thing is, 343 posted multiple updates talking about no splistcreen and you can at least just look at the back of the box to see if the game has coop if the sole reason you buy it is to play with someone else.
That completely sucks man. 343 really needed to get split screen in, unfortunately it is technically (I mean quite literally due to the technical reasons) impossible, because some genius decided to lock physics to framerate, apparently. Smh.
I’m still pissed about it, they broke the news long before the game was out though. I’m still desperately missing being able to play co-op with my brother.
