The Official Splitscreen Thread

Sorry.

But I think we should still Tweet the devs since it is obvious they don’t read these forums. I think @PlutonForEver, @JoshingtonState, and @timlongojr are the ones who make most of the decisions at 343.

Please don’t take the awesome splitscreen feature of halo away.

That’s not Splitscreen, its just online coop. Everyone has their own screen. Splitscreen quite literally means sharing or splitting the same screen. What is so hard to understand about this? The only Splitscreen option where you will actually be able to share a screen with someone (couch Co-op) will be 2 player split screen in online multiplayer only.

It is in campaign to.

I just think its really i mean really stupid

Was there splitscreen of any kind during the BETA?

I only owned 1 controller at the time so I couldn’t test it out.

Amen!

This is yet another example of 343 turning its ears off and just doing whatever they want. Note to bonnie ross…you’re not going to get 30 more years of halo like this! At this rate you have got about a year two years max. I’ve never seen a company so disrespectful to the fans.

The bottom two tweets on the OP Josh states that there is going to be 2 player split screen co-op.

They have to make the multiplayer community happy. They have to make the compective players super happy. So don’t just blame bonnie ross blame the pro team and their community who have tied 343 hands.

Are you serious? Really? You know what not going to waste my time rebutting your points nothing I say will matter anyway. Look back a page Frankie explains why it’s not included SPOILER it’s not to say -Yoink- you fans

Microsoft needs to make a better family split screen 60 fps console already. Xbox One sucks ! What a waste time and $

That’s quite the emotional response.
Removing 4 player splitscreen is not a decision they made lightly. It had to be a tough choice for them, but a necessary one.

Why now they say that there is not Campaign split-screen when they said this:

Then would someone tweet them back to this thread and link it to them already.

Frankie excuses are a joke.
Halo fans didn’t ask for all the stuff they are putting in the game.
Halo evolved till Halo 3. Minor changes always for the better.
Halo Reach added the not needed Abilities and then began the decline of Halo.
With Halo 4 343 took the game and broke it even more, their attempt to transform Halo in COD made a lot of the fanbase “forget” about Halo.
They didn’t learn from the mistakes and changed Halo even more with Halo 5.
Now they are taking out split-screen, this needs to stop.

the pro gramers don’t make the game generate revenue. The quality and the way the game is liked by the consumers is what generates the revenu.

I hope you know that the game not having split screen local co-op will not affect profits in a major way. We live in a way different world than we did back in H1/H2 times

EDIT: And it was not a business decision. It was a gameplay quality decision
