Ok, before i start - this doesnt really relate to halo 5 other than the removal of splitscreen.
As we have seen, windows 10 has xbox one streaming! And halo guardians has NO splitscreen.
It would be amazing if, the game could run off my Pc’s resources, so i could play 2 player with my family or friends who come over. As if my pc was another console.
As in ; i buy halo 5 DIGITALLY and set the xbox one as my “home console”. My brother then gets onto halo 5 and loads up the campaign. I go onto my pc and load the xbox “app” and sign in to Fl4ming_J4ck (the account that owns halo 5). I then launch halo 5 and plug in a controller into a usb slot (no op pc keyboards/mouse). Then my brother invites me to a coop campaign, and boom, we are playing together without splitscreen. And BOTH with hd graphics at 60fps (unless the pc cannot withstand it)
(As said before, your PC needs to be strong enough to play these games)
Tl:dr ; your pc is its own console.
EDIT: because we cannot have them lose profit on xboxes, maybe have it REQUIRED that you already own a console. Or atleast have another console set as your home one (even a friends)
One, game streaming doesn’t work like that. It can only use the resources of the Xbox. Thus it being streaming not game… Iunno. Sharing. What happens is your computer just mirrors the screen of your Xbox. Home screen and all. Inputs are sent from your PC to the Xbox. So there’s not going to be a way for you to use streaming as a quasi-solution to split-screen.
Secondly, even if you could. A majority of computers wouldn’t be able to run Halo 5 at 60 FPS. So everyone who played would have a completely different graphical experience barring them having a decent gaming rig.
Game streaming works the way it does to maximize the amount of devices so that most every Windows 10 device will be able to support that feature.
So, even though that would be nice. No chance.
That being said, streaming isn’t bad. I’ve been using it for about a month now on my Surface Pro 2. Noticeable drop in quality and the FPS is a bit lower than on my Xbox. Doesn’t work so great for 60 fps games but works good for 30 FPS games like Sunset Overdrive.

I already stated that it would not be streaming for obvious reasons. (Also, sharing has already been done.)
I also said some computers would not be able to run the game at the same force. Its the same as if you pc gamed with steam. If you couldnt run it at a good fps or with nice looking graphics, you may not want to use it. But for people with good computers, this would work and allow even more use of their pc’s/xbox games.
(I already knew what streaming was, i was saying that pretty much you would have your pc become its own xbox through an app)
