Halo 5 lack of split screen. Your thoughts?
If the battles are going to be as large scale as they say and everything be bigger and better than ever using Xbox ones power, I think it's a difficult but great decision! I don't understand the complaining about it. People basically play over Xbox live these days anyways. If losing split screen makes for a more enjoyable experience, I'm down.

Don't care. Always played with friends over live
-
I don't want to have to go buy a whole new Xbox One just to play Halo with my brother, like I did on every other Halo. But splitscreen's dying.. It was to be expected.
-
Sucks but doesn't affect me at all so I'm okay with it
-
Coach coop is far more of an enjoyable experience than is online coop.
-
I'm kind of disappointed because my best halo moments are on split screen with my little brother. I still am really excited for the game though and no split screen won't stop me from buying it.
-
Very disappointed but I fully understand at least they took lot's of time to decide
-
There will always be the mcc for split screen
-
I'm the same, if it's something that was cut to improve the overall experience, sign me up. I haven't used it since college, and even then it was used sparingly. Only time I really needed it was in high school when I played co-op with friends. Hell, even if it was still in the game, and I was consistently playing with someone in my home, I'd pony up for the second console and TV/monitor. Splitscreen is such a dated feature.

1 ReplyIt's an unfortunate sacrifice that was necessary to get the game to the standards the community demanded. I'm not happy about it but it's trade off I can live with.

Hey, I'll finally get good teammates. No more playing on a team full of nerds having a halo party on little Johnny No Thumbs' 30 inch tube TV.

18 RepliesThis is a terrible decision for anybody that has actual friends, or kids. It's essentially the companies way of getting people to buy more copies of games. I buy gears of war and halo to play co-op with my buddies that can't afford them. Now in order to play with friends everyone has to own a copy. Money grubbing is all that is.
-
I don't mind since everyone I play with has their own console so split screen is not needed

Edited by The Space Nib: 8/18/2015 5:45:31 PMDon't need it. Maybe if it was back when I was a kid and had to share with my 2 cousins then yea. But we are all old enough (hell I even moved out) that we all have our preferred consoles and don't play with each other. So no split screen. No problem.

2 RepliesEdited by Uuv: 8/17/2015 9:05:10 PMI mean, growing up with it was fantastic, and I loved it. But I'm at the point where I game solo on my own Xbox, and just play with friends over Xbox Live. So Halo 5 not having splitscreen is unfortunate, but it makes absolutely no difference to me at all.

Edited by Zonda: 8/18/2015 2:05:37 PMFair enough given they basically completed the engine before they realized Split screen would demand too much, and by then it was too late for a major restructuring. Given we already have MCC, at least there's something for split screen halo fans in the wait for Halo 6 to hopefully reinstate Local MP, although imo, the Wii-U is the best current gen console for multiple people to play on 1 console.

1 ReplyI hardly know of anyone who even wants to split screen these days anyways. Even when I spend the weekend at my buddy's place, I'll either bring my monitor or we hook up to his extra TV. I hate split screening, so I'm glad they opted out of it
-
It doesn't affect me much at all. I loved playing splitscreen five years ago, but I'd now rather have a bigger and better game at the cost of losing splitscreen.
-
It sucks but I can't think of the last time I wanted to play split screen
-
I don't mind. Haven't used split screen since Halo 3 first came out.
-
Long time fan (Halo 2), i say who cares. Everyone is blowing it out of proportion just so they have something to complain about.
-
Edited by Vermiculus Nova: 8/18/2015 11:49:53 AMGood riddance. Now I don't have brain damaged split screeners ruining online games for me and my friends.
-
I live at home with my wife and 3 kids who play Halo, not anymore though apparently.
-
1 ReplyWho cares. I play online not split screen.
-
I'm sad personally. Split screen campaign was my favorite way to play Halo in all of the other games.
-
2 RepliesNo split screen in Halo 5 makes Battlefront 3 that much more attractive.
-
It sucks that we are losing it but its understandable why we are losing it.
