I’m just curious as to what everyone thinks about this. I know it’s a little old, but I still am curious. I’m personally unhappy with it, as I can’t play with my wife or friends now except online. 343’s only reasoning has been because it would sacrifice graphical fidelity. I personally would rather the campaign run at 30fps when in split screen than no split screen at all. They’ve given nothing saying that they even considered that. To be honest, right now it just seems like it’s lazy and incompetent design along with tight schedules ruled in by microsoft. If you’re pro split screen, you should check out the link below, and if you’re against split screen, please let me know why.

They are continuing to lock these threads. Please wait until Snickerdoodle changes her mind (and the other mods) to make them ‘legal’ again.
I understand your frustration, but I think 343i has justification for it even if we don’t know exactly what that is yet. I’m sure they did not take removing a feature light-heartedly.

Yeah, I hope so. Maybe they’ll talk about the decision at E3.

They are? Why? I’m not being non-constructive, I’m posing a question, looking for honest answers from other players, and should it be seen by anyone at 343, they’ll see more people caring about something that many people find to be an issue.
I wrote this last night when I was feeling poetic or something. I’m sad about the whole thing is the only context you need.
First off I’d like to say to all those who wish to align themselves as a member of the halo community. Community is a beautiful thing. We as a community share a vested interest in something that to us is important. So, I ask, nay I plead that we as community try our hardest to care about what each of us has to say. You cannot move mountains alone, nor can you move them whilst the house is divided. I care about your wishes for 60fps and 1080p, and would never wish to jeopardize those wishes for your wants are just as valid as mine. That said if it is possible for us to find a way to allow for split screen coop in campaign with out affecting any of your desires, will you still want to devalue my, and many others wishes? I want for Halo to continue, but I also want for it to take care of every aspect of its patrons. That means all of you, and myself as well. For what is a community if we dismiss, and ostracize those whose opinions we don’t agree with. Even if it doesn’t affect you, as a fellow member of the community you should still care. Now onward to the main point. Halo was my king for playing with my friends. My friends never played online so local was the only way to play. My closest friendship actually formed from playing halo 1-4 (and everything in between) together. We talked, laughed, and played the part of UNSC badass. That’s 12 straight years of playing halo together (Local!). To lose that, would be akin to losing a part of Halo altogether. 60 FPS is, a reason, but people don’t always care what your reasons are for doing something they dislike. I love your work with halo 4, and I doubt that ran at 60 fps when I played local, so do you think any of us really care if you lowered it to 30, and hell! You could clock it in at 720p, and I still wouldn’t care because halo 4 looked amazing because of the art direction and design regardless of 1080p or 720p. I don’t know any of you personally nor do I feel I have the right to tell you what to do. However, what I do know for certain is that you’re now in control of something I’ve loved since I was 6, and I’m 19 now. That’s more than a majority of my life. All I ask is that you consider it, for us. I know it may be a lot to ask but it’s means so much to us. And if you say nay in I would assume a kind way, then at least express to us that you care. It’s not the same as having what we want but, at least it proves there is a dialogue between us. That’s enough badgering for now. Thank you for your work on Halo anniversary, 4, and MCC I quite enjoyed all of them, so cheers from a wishful fan 
Oh, and sorry for all of the belligerence you may find in some peoples messages. It’s just a frustrating feeling, and your average Joe has a hard time constructively using that energy.

Why do mods lock forums? even if everyone is throwing a piss fit or something, does that really affect the website or something? I’m legitimately curious.
It’s because people are getting too upset and heated. They want people to cool down, and considering it’s been less than a day, they will continue to lock them (I assume, they might leave this one open, but earlier today they locked 2-3 of them that I noticed.) I am merely giving you a headsup, not discussing moderator decisions, insuilting you, or whatever, just making a simple comment.
