During a panel for Halo 5 guardians at RTX 2016, Kiki Wolfkill of 343 industries announced that they are looking into adding splitscreen to halo 5. I personnaly don’t care much for splitscreen but I thing a lot of people would enjoy it if they added it to the game. You can also talk about any other announcements from the panel like te drones and brutes possibly being added to halo 5.
Are you sure they didn’t say h6? Cuz if they add it to h5, then they lied about Splitscreen not being possible due to their current engine setup. Of course I wouldn’t be suprised if they lied about it. I can only imagine what people would say if Splitscreen does come to h5. “The -Yoink- 343! You said you couldn’t do it! Now you can all of a sudden? So was X, X, and X also possible then? Cuz I can’t believe you no more.”
Wait… Really? I thought they said it was impossible… It would be nice if it were added, but I feel like it’s way too late to make a difference now.
Do you have a link to this?

I will say this though. Halo 5 has been out for about 8 months now. They could of figured out how to make it work in their engine in that amount of time. I’m going to give 343 the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Is it too late though? Halo 5 is only 8 months old. Halo 6 will be a 2017 title to keep it in line with a 3 year dev cycle. Also with the launch of the Xbox One Slim 343 could, in a way, re-launch Halo 5 and say “Hey look at Halo 5 now.” Not to mention nothing gets released in August, so advertising Halo 5 with the X1S might be a good idea.
they said they may think about it, but only regarding xbox scorpio. they were asked whether they could enable splitscreen with the launch of xbox scorpio or not. i don’t think that current gen xbox ones will support halo 5 splitscreen

Halo 6 will actually be a 2018 launch title, not 2017 
But you’re right, they could always do a “rerelease” of Halo 5, to show the community how much it’s changed and why it’s worth buying/playing now, especially if they had a retail version with all updates included.
They may change the engine to allow 30fps, because locked 60fps was the barrier of splitscreen

As it stands right now the hardware won’t support split screen at 60 fps. That’s why people are hyped for the new Xbox to come out. I don’t know if the Xbox S will have enough horsepower, but the Scorpio will.
They said that split-screen might be possible on Project Scorpio for Halo 5.
So they might re-release Halo 5 on the Scorpio ?
Halo 5 definitive edition to fill the gap till halo 6, makes sense.
All they said about in the Q&A is that they are looking into it but it’s not on their current list of priorites. I do also recall that it’s not possible with the customised Havok engine that halo currently runs on, so they might have to make a major update to gamesoftware.
You are assuming Project Scorpio releases before Halo 6. In this day and age, I wouldn’t be surprised if Scorpio is delayed and renamed.

It’d pretty much be the same thing that happened with Halo 4’s campaign theater. They said it wasn’t possible, then some random guy went and made it happen.
It’s honestly hilarious how much 343 lies about things like this.

I don’t think it would be that they lied, just at the time it wasn’t possible.
Now due to the demand for it they ‘possibly’ have been doing the Lord’s work to make it happen.
Even though some of their decisions have been rather poor, it’s not like their goal was to completely cut splitscreen forever.
No way 343 was lying about splitscreen not being possible. They would have had so many more sales if it was included at launch back in October.

Problem is the first impression of the game was bad and game gets bored pretty quick.

Either that or they’ve have succificent time to build a new engine to port the games components over to, so I’d suspect a fairly large download for it.

It was broken enough to not be ship-worthy inside the game - Quicktime events didn’t work and were hilariously broken during playback, from memory there were also issues with AI in playback
It would be nice but thats not gonna bring that many people back
