So does this have Split screen or not?

[Zeriel00]

I'm confused because the MCC on Xbox has Split screen but saw another thread that said it didn't? Are there any official news? It would be extremely stupid to remove a feature that has been trademark of Halo since the beginning. :(

Splitscreen isn't a thing for pc for majority of games, why did you think it would be? It's an outmoded mechanic anyway

Why would anyone want split screen! It's 2019, Jesus!

Are all you splitscreen haters 12 years old or something?

Couch coop or local play has been in gaming for generations.

Regardless of platform it's been in gaming for years upon years. Even on steam you can search (local or splitscreen play) and it will literally show you all the games that have it.

Jesus you people are the reason why it went on hiatus in recent years.

The rest of us have actual family and friends that would love to play together.

Anyways 343i have already said in a stream they are thinking about it for sure and it may come later as a update. They know it's a staple in the Halo franchise.

So do us all a favor and STFU with your anti local coop bs

Support for split screen and one player per screen on multi screen setups would be great.

Anyone who has family, friends or a significant other that plays games with them, WANT split screen. A lot of people without real-life gamer friends, family, or a girl/boyfriend, find split screen odd or unnecessary. They just can't wrap their heads around playing a game in the same room with another real person or why it might be more fun to enjoy a game with someone they care about. Many gaming companies make it their motto that gaming is all about bringing people together. Blizzard even said that as part of their opening statement at Blizcon this year.

"Why do you need split screen on PC? Who's going to sit around your computer monitor and play games when you can play online?" Firstly, PC connects to a TV or projector just like a console, for the people out there that didn't know that. Secondly, for anyone who grew up having Halo LAN parties or playing Halo with their siblings or girl/boyfriend, will all tell you first hand that that's the best way to experience the game.

PC is better suited for split screen than any other platform. #1 It's more powerful and can handle more demanding games with better graphics and higher frame rates. 343 made a statement that they could not add split screen to Halo 5 because they would have to sacrifice graphics and frame rates because it would be too demanding. #2 You can use any controller on the market. No matter your gaming background, you're always comfortable playing games with a friend on PC. Just don't forget your favorite controller at home!

"Play it on Xbox or don't buy it then, geez!" This game is not worth $460 plus tax to buy the Xbox and the game. It's not worth $40 without split screen on PC. So no, I won't be buying it until it gets split screen. There are honestly hundreds of shooters on PC to compete with that don't have split screen. What makes it better then Overwatch, Destiny 2, MWF, Half-Life, Quake, Counter Strike, or Farcry? Come on 343, give the game a selling point!

"Does it have the old school split screen?", was my first question.

I'm not really a fan of Halo, but it sure was dang fun back in the day when we could split screen on the couch. Not everyone plays PC games on a 4KTV, I get it. But the missus n' I sure prefer it.

[SleepyDroid]

I would love split-screen option.

It's not so much that it was removed, it's more of it wouldn't work right out of the box.

Meanwhile, old Serious Sam titles be like...

Halo on Pc does not fit the Split screen option

Yeah. I agree. Having more than one input device plugged in, or using a really big monitor or TV screen as a monitor. That can never happen. Having the bros over for drinks and Big Team CTF, that can never happen.

[Arkio]

I have friends and a fiance who I like to play split screen with. That is why its important!

[Sunstrider]

I don't really care if they add splitscreen or not. You have buddies and family that you game and share screens with. Wonderful. Those of us who don't (like me) see no need for it.

Besides, how do spilt screeners share a keyboard?

Another curious question. How many that use split screen have ever glanced at the other player's screens to get a glimpse of areas that aren't shown on your screen?

You can hook up all manner of console controllers to PCs. Many of them are even native (meaning you plug them in and they work without issue). You can plug in two keyboards and mice if you wanted to. Not everyone does the stereotype keyboard n' mouse for everything on PC.

Seeing what the other guy sees is pretty nice if you're couch co-oping.

OMG I think I broke my nose I face palmed so hard..

I agree 100% with Clinton Mobley and the rest, it's like kids these days can't wrap their head around connecting two controllers and playing with someone next to them. For old dudes like me that remember the Nintendo 64 with 4 controllers those where some of the best times in gaming history. Mario Kart, Golden Eye, Smash, Duke Nukem 64 but most kids playing today don't know of those times.

Game companies convinced everyone that you NEED internet and that split screen is obsolete because now they can sell you Microtransactions, broken games that they can patch later, etc. EA tried to get rid of Single player and so is Bethesda the old champion of Single player now pushing garbage like FO76. It's sad I can see that in 10 more years single player games could be viewed as obsolete.

Why would we want split screen besides the super obvious playing on 1 screen with a friend? because the console games have this included, why would we want to buy a sub par product.... they removed ♥♥♥♥ from our version again not hard to buy 2 controllers or 2 mouse and keyboards its pretty dumb that consoles with their limited hardware get all the split screen options

[hobo_with_a_gun]

now to play the campaign with a mate I need to buy a second copy of the title and have another computer at my place set up next to the other and another 2 again for 4 player battles say a good $10000 later I can do what the game could do on the original xbox.... when my computer was 10 times more powerful at least I mean the game HAS split screen built into it already...

[Mr.Person]

The code is probably all still in the game, so if it can't be done officially, it will probably be possible with mods.

Same situation with L4D2, and that could even be done with just console commands. Heck, even in L4D2 I noticed the "Remote play together" Feature was an option, though I haven't tried it yet.
