How to add second controller for local coop?

[H-street]

I got MCC and super excited to play with my son, when i start the game and try to add a second controller it just acts like the main controller.. how do i add teh second person so we can split screen the campaign?

[H-street]

I should add this is for Halo CE (We want to start at the beginning)

i think its only LAN and not split screen but i just got it on computer (im used to xbox 360) so dont consider me an expert

Lyou can't, split screen is not a thing for this game on pc, people want it but it's a long time off, only way to play is split screen is to buy it on xbox

Currently there's no split-screen for MCC PC (Only on Xbox). They might add it in the future, and there may be some mods or workarounds, I'm not sure, but don't get your hopes up.

There's an unofficial method using Nucleus Coop.

It's alright. The absence of that feature isn't advertised and has been disappointing a lot of people. If you want you could try this mod that mimics it by running the game twice.

343i's current stance on split-screen on PC is: "In Backlog, Pending Further Discussions"

[Kills Alone]

Not advertised? 343i's very own Bonnie Ross (also Corporate Vice President at Xbox Game Studios) said ALL future Halos would have splitscreen because so many people were angry Halo 5 didn't have said feature. This version of Halo the MCC came out after that announcement, so if its never added they flat out lied.

Screw their backlog, if you're going to release a game on PC its needs to have (at the minimum) feature parity with the console release. Not only that, we've been asking for splitscreen Halo on the PC for nearly eighteen years!

Both Gears of War 4 & 5 PC have splitscreen campaign on PC and they are both pretty recent Microsoft games, so the excuse about multiple accounts or guest accounts is just that, a sad excuse because they have an acceptable solution in GoW.

Splitscreen is a definitive feature in Halo, its one of the reasons the game sold so big, you could sit down at one Xbox and play with your homies. everyday there is someone new asking for splitscreen so they can play with friends & family which illustrates just how many people really want this or expect it to be intact.

I don't think at the time they were thinking or referring to mcc on pc, it's mainly always been a console thing with some exceptions on pc, in the end split screen is dependent on 343 putting it into active development and alot of testing, you can't just use the e
Because these games have it, why doesn't this, because its just as stupid as people using the multiple accounts excuse, every game has its own ecosystem and engines, for example some newer and older games don't support splitscreen on pc despite console versions supporting it, let's say they add splitscreen, who's to say all those people begging for it would use it, it would be another situation like ibmm, people begged for it, yet hardly anyone uses it, would be a waste of time and resources in my opinion

There's an extra point to split-screen that isn't talked about much. Testing maps and gametypes. It's really bothersome to test damages and balance and spawns sometimes because if a second person is needed then you have to go and find someone willing to volunteer. On the Xbox 360 I could just turn on my other controller and stand a little closer to my TV. Now I have to go into a discord and hope I can get someone to tag along for a few minutes. Instead of working as I go I have to prepare all the stuff I want to test in a batch so it's on tap when I want to use it. And if I want to see what something was like again I have to use theater mode.

I really do not want to make a second account and set up Necleus Coop but I feel like I have to.

literally the best memories in my life are playing CE co-op on a miniscule split-screen with my dad when i was a little kid. hopefully you can figure out how to do nucleus co-op or whatever

A. People have been asking for Splitscreen a hell of alot more than asking Aim Assist's automatic control in mid range BRs to be dialed back. The demographics aren't remotely similar and diminishing them to being whiners is about as immature as you can get. But then again, you've never been known for being insightful.

B. No-one asked for a separate queue for MK/B players. All it did was waste time coding something people aren't going to use, simply based on queue timers alone. You have a very bizarre obsession with pushing this false reality.

[H-street]

The sad part is there is probably a member of the 343 studios who made a case for the split screen Co-Op being put into the game who is probably sitting back and telling all of those that put him/her down for it to eat some crow..

i think EA pretty much learned their lesson that we do want single player games and the local split screen coop for Halo was something special in that regard that they lost and gave into the "multiplayer" makes money mirage..

false reality? so youre saying people asking for something then not using it isnt a reality,for months upon months people wanted ibmm,they got it,they dont use it,this will be the same thing,demograpgics may not be the same but in the context i laid out to you its the same,i dont need to be insightful ,im more realistic,i know how people work especially with games,they beg and beg for something,they get it,and then they still complain or hardly use it,this would be a waste of time and resources,im not saying they shouldnt do it,♥♥♥♥ i dont care what 343 do as long as the main issues are sorted,like for example,right now people alt tabbing out of games lose access to the game,cant load it again and it doesnt show on the task bar,on pc right now you sometimes load into games with a massive frame drop or a few kills in,server browser,a feature requested alot more being intergrated (flighting this week,i know) split screen isnt a necessary feature right now,squashing the big issues are,but hey,what do i know,i just play the game

I still have my 360 and all of the halo titles. MCC PC came out. I played through the campaigns played a few matches online and went back to the 360 because my kid wanted to play with me. It's a shame too because the frame rate, low latency, and just the way the games run is incredible. It just comes down to the fact that Splitscreen is a far more substantial and usable feature that will get used far more than any of the other ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they're currently working on. M+KB support for console, FOV sliders for console, and other garbage that really has minimal impact compared to what adding splitscreen would bring to the table. GOD FORBID THEY DON'T ADD HDR!!! Good ol' corporate greed just trying to get people to buy more copies. Both versions run on x86 architecture and the windows store and xbox versions of mcc are both UWP. No more excuses. If they're not gonna do it they should just own up to the fact that they're not and tell us,

regardless of how you feel about all these features theyre adding,people wanted them,now i get it,going back to older and weaker hardware can be annoying,even i struggle going back to consoles now and again,but why should the people who want these go without whilst people like you dont,adding splitscreen to this will be alot more work than adding the above mentioned items (thank you for announcing them here so i dont have to retype it),split screen will take alot more time and its easier for them to work through the easier items on the list,working its way down to the more difficult,if its about corporate greed,selling more copies etc etc,then wouldnt splitscreen being gone push people away from purchasing it,regardless they would just buy the singular copy on xbox and not bother if all they want out of it is splitscreen coop,i agree with you,no more excuses,but for ages the customs browser was only in talking and active development,now its coming through,people just need to be patient,because right now,splitscreen isnt their top priority,id say fixing any major bugs is,and releasing long awaited content,which is flighting this month,i know it sucks,but all you can do is wait for it.
