I do not use twitter, but would support something on facebook for example. Anyone specifically I can flood on there?

You mean they are not listening to the family gaming fans but only to the MLG fanboys

Well, Poor Holmes. First the well chair thing now this.

Mistakes happen… Don’t really care much about splitscreen but as this thread shows a little explanation would be nice. Or 343 saying an explanation will come

Ah! ok, thank you for clearing that up! :slight_smile:

Wow!
This thread BLEW up! Didn’t quite expect this.
Kinda uplifting to see that people indeed care about this issue.

Indeed. Just as I thought it couldn’t get any worse, they do this…
Then they make it EVEN worse by saying playing co-op ISN’T free…
Man, I tell ya… what the hell.

… sad thing is, you’re most likely right about that.

Halo 5 Gaurdians a lot of people in the world want split screen so do I been playing split screen since Halo Combat Evolved came out in 2001 with couple of my friends
Please 343 make 4 player split screen halo won’t be the same if it doesn’t have it

So no campaign split screen at all? Ouch, that stings.

If it is because they want to keep the game at 60FPS, that is understandable, and you cant just throw in 1-3 more players and still keep it running the same, but it still does sting a little, especially for those of us with friends who love Halo but haven’t committed to an Xbox One, yet.

Josh if you read this. Please note that if there is no split screen coop then Families will hate and not be buying your game.

Indeed. I think many of us have been quite clear that 60FPS and any high fancy stuff doesn’t really concern us when Split Screen mode is engaged.

Will there be 2-player co-op split-screen?

343 Get a clue! We fricken want and need coop split screen. Your So Called “Pro Testers” are busy using one screen and not testing split screen. Fix it or we wont be buying your game!

Only in multiplayer modes.
Or at least, just not the story mode.

> 2535453110259428;514:
> Will there be 2-player co-op split-screen?

For multiplayer. which is not considered completely co-op. Not in campaign, due to reasons stated not yet revealed by Frankie http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=167186284&highlight=#post167186284

only MP

hi everybody, i really enjoy if you can subscribe to that, i’m a great halo fan from italy, all we can do maybe is to formalize that in some kind of petition, i found this site, change.org, maybe we can use it to “formalize” our request.
THANK YOU AND SPREAD OUT!

<mark>Link Removed by Monitor</mark>

Am I the only one who does not give a single crap about how many frames per second a game has? I would much, much, much rather have split screen co-op than 60fps gameplay. Almost every game I’ve played my entire life as a console gamer has been 30fps and I sincerely do not care if it’s ever higher than that. Why would it need to be when 30fps games play just fine? Halo was 30fps before and it was great. I don’t want my experience with Halo 5 ruined because of buzzwords. Split-screen is a really vital feature that I’ve been using in Halo games consistently for the last 14 years. It’s in Halo’s DNA and the game loses part of it’s identity if you don’t include it.

I would have done so if it didn’t require I list all that information.

You’re not the only one.
I believe I can safely assume the vast majority of us split screen players do not care for 60FPS and “high” graphics and what not.
It doesn’t really matter at all at that point, we’re playing with friends, its socially fun…
That’s more or less the reason for split screen in the first place, to share the game experience with friends.

It’s a factor of fun. Reducing the visual quality is not a big deal, we’re using smaller screens anyway.
