Nucleus Co-Op is a hassle.
Oncce you have set it up you can't just play Halo normally again.
You have to undo the changes made by Nucleus first.
A Mod could solve this problem better. But it would have been cool if 343 hadn't removed Splitscreen from the games....

I mean, it’s PC. I can’t think of any other game on PC that has splitscreen.

bo3, COD WW2, Portal 2 are some famous PC games with splitscreen.

Its not really unrealistic to want Halo, a series known for its splitscreen experience, to have that experience on PC too

[Aspen]

Honest to god didn’t know that either of those COD games had split screen and I forgot about Portal. Fair enough.

While I 100% understand the mindset (I think of online gamers inches-1' from a monitor too), I know I've recently been looking into couch co-op and split-screen shooters, as I've learned that Steamdeck w/ docking & controllers is a BEAST!

Discovered Quake 2 has split, and going to try a mod on Quake 3 Team Arena on Monday. Theres definitely value to be had.

splitscreen? you dont have another pc? if someone invites me to coop and I have to share a split screen I am out. What the hell? Are we 10 years old? Sitting on a sofa like little kids. What are we gonna drink koo-laids too? OH YEAH! . . . OH NO! thank you.

Typically if something is removed it’s because it is unstable and can cause/has issues that don’t justify the time it would take to fix

Plenty of games have it. Baldurs Gate 3 has PC split screen. 343 intentionally did this to keep Xbox as the living room gaming machine still.

Yeah, because socializing is for 10 year olds? Did your parents drop you on your head as a toddler or what? I don't think you even know what split-screen is. "Invite me to co-op and I have to share a split screen I am out"...... what? lol.

Kind of weird that the 3rd party solutions to use splitscreen on PC don't have said issues then, considering mods/3rd party solutions will never be as reliable as first-party ones (outside Bethesda games, heyoo!).
A bit like how Halo Infinite has splitscreen disabled as a menu option, but works perfectly fine when only the menu is modded to enable it.
This stuff has been concluded for years, I'm not sure there's much point in pushing the "splitscreen totally can't work for reasons" narrative at this point.

>perfectly fine

aka massive performance issues on the xbox one, and data corruption issues

Not sure what you mean by that, I use Nucleus and never have to revert any settings.

To add to the list that some have already contributed to -- Serious Sam 3, Screencheat, Resident Evil 6, Hybercharged, Gears 5, Battlefront Classic Collection, Murder Miners, almost every single racing game -- and right now I'm only specifically talking "splitscreen" as in a literally split screen, there's plenty of local multiplayer games on PC and the number is growing all the time. I set my PC up to my TV and tend to use it like a console a la Big Picture, and when friends come over we tend to play local multiplayer stuff. I've always loved local gaming and it's a shame it got neglected for so long, on console too frankly. Nucleus HAS been a lifesaver.

Yeah nucleaus co op is a pain, not only that but the Audio obviously isn't right since its just running FOUR instances of the game on the same computer

However, splitscreen DOES work on the H3 mod tools, you have to run the tag_test executable iirc.. It works, but its far from ideal

I was honestly hoping someone who take the left over splitscreen in the mod tools and use that to make something out of it, even if it was just for H3 and ODST
