Split-screen coop in the future?

Some of my friends who played HD1 are not buying HD2 because there is no split screen coop. They are couples living together so it doesn’t make sense to buy two PSs/gaming PCs. I wonder if there is a chance split screen will get added back in the future to cater some old HD1 veterans.

It can't be "added back", because it was never in HD2.

HD1 had no split screen either, everyone was forced on a single screen and it was twin stick shooter, so it supported multiple controllers.

HD1 and HD2 are very different games when it comes to multiplayer infrastructure so no, split screen will never happen and your argument really is of no relevance here, you're comparing 2 completely different genres just because they share a title.

I thought at some point 343 Studio tried to add split screen coop back to the new Halo game. It was not in the original release, but it seems it could be possible (although it was not realized in the end). I just think it can broaden the audience by a lot of it is an option.

People has large TV screens these days, and the game could be rendered in a lower resolution in split screen mode to save console resources.
