I have no other way to share Halo with friends and family. Playing through Legendary with a friend sitting next to you is what encourages you to keep trying (except for Halo 2... one dies, you restart). I probably wouldn’t have bothered with Halo 4 except someone asking if I wanted to co-op.

Don’t say this is the end of an era. Call them on their bullshit! They said in January that Halo 5 would have splitscreen. Couch co-op should not die because triple-A studios don’t want to dedicate resources to it. I for one, am not going to buy Halo 5 specifically because they took out split-screen campaign. Some of…

one day instead of day one.

if you asked anyone to give up split screen for 60fps they would of told you to fuck off. Halo has never been 60fps, who gives a shit now? looks like Activision won, thanks a lot CoD.

I’m squarely in the “lack of split screen killed the game for me” camp. Earlier this year my girlfriend and I started playing through the Halo campaigns together. Partially in anticipation of Halo 5. We made it up through Reach.

Probably why my cousin and I are not as excited about Halo 5. We played through most of all Halo campaigns in split-screen and we were excited about 5 before the split screen news.

When my son (8yo) found out we couldn’t play 5 together due to lack of split-screen, he actually cried for a few seconds. He was -heartbroken-.
He’s stopped talking about wanting Halo MegaBloks now tho, so maybe there’s something good to come from this...
