Halo follower just dropped a video showing that split screen co op does actually function.

Yeah but it’s buggy and at points it crashes to dashboard. Also you got use a workaround to get it to work. But yes, this split screen trick has actually been in the game since the launch of the campaign.

Yeah splitscreen actually works fine. Cutscenes and AI works without any gamebreaking bugs as far as i know. It may cause some crashes over time tho since its a glitch as of now, but i really dont understand why they completely cancel it with its current state
Out of interest, does this work on Xbox or just PC?
My first thought when they dropped the feature was that they couldn’t get it too work on the older Xboxes.
And that’s still a market share that’s too big for them to leave stranded.
And scratch that. Someone has posted a video of it working on an older Xbox.

Wonder if it updates everyone’s progress correctly? I assumed it was either that or performance that would be the issue with split screen.
it works better than the original glitch, both are different.
the original had no hud on player 2, cutscenes did not play, could not open tac map, could not use fob bases, crashed a lot and lighting issues.
new glitch still can corrupt save(s) like the other glitch and there is some framerate issues on the tacmap. some texture pop but apart from that it works very well.
the fact it’s playable on xbox one, xbox one x, xbox series s | x is amazing.
was stupid to cancel it when it’s close to being perfect.
but instead they chose to focus on forge and mp. forge won’t bring in $ but mp will.
can see where their priorities are. in green.
I just got it working on my Xbox One X, seems to run about as well as it did in single-player.
Spamming is only good for getting attention, we already have that.
Now we need them to take us seriously, spamming hurts that goal.
This is great news, hopefully they can iron out the crash bugs and get this released.
It’s a shame Joe said it wasn’t a priority though - it sounds like it’s close to working.
Wouldn’t be the first time 343 have told fans something can’t be done and then fans have found a way to do it.

Good to know. I will try this new one out soon
Could it have something to do with desync?
Both for split screen and the obvious no show of Tatanka in the roadmap?
What if both were heavily coded for the current game engine - but they are working on a new engine build that fixes desync. But that means essentially starting again with coding for split screen?
Probably not that plausible… but I can’t think of any other reason to abandon it so close to the finish line.
they’ll probably patch it out and the fans will be livid (even more so than now)
forge won’t bring in $
not if they don’t start selling components and features! I can already see it. Unless you buy more components with Cr (or real money 
), you’re only left with the ugly regular components and you have a lower budget for items on the map. Buuut, if you were to buy more parts, you could make maps that don’t look like they were made by an amateur HL2 map maker. Or maybe they’ll bundle them up in “Forger Bundles”, you have four tiers: Basic (only regular items and placements, low budget, can only make limited amount of maps, free for everyone), Deluxe (some special items, higher budget, $20), Ultimate (more special items, even higher budget, $40), and Super Ultimate (access to all items, highest budget, make as many maps as you want, $100).
Lets be frank, they’ll certainly try something like this, at least someone at the office pitched this idea.
