snickerdoodle closed the last thread before I got the chance to reply. I know this will just get closed instantly as well, but it’s not like that matters.

Literally every interview and article leaves a lot of room for interpretation and I suspect that it’s intentional, considering the controversy of the decision to leave it out. Their excuse for bumping off the tradition is the “big new thing” they’re doing that’s apparently too technically amazing for the Xbox One to handle.

> And even if splitscreen doesn’t work for Warzone nor (somehow) the campaign, there is literally no reason for why they bumped it from the normal multiplayer. It’s just a greedy move, and they’ll pay for it big time when it comes to their sales. The only thing Halo has had to offer people these last years has been splitscreen, and now they don’t even have that. Good job, 343.
p.s. Having a thread to “discuss” the splitscreen feature is useless, snickerdoodle. The point of a discussion is to make a decision, if the decision’s been made there is no point in having it.
p.s.s. No, there’s no irony here. I’m not discussing anything; I’m just saying that it was a stupid, illegitimate move to remove splitscreen from Halo, and that 343 have failed as the “caretakers of Halo” (as they so fondly referred to themselves back in 2012). Thanks to them, what was once the most popular shooter is now the least popular shooter.
