Looks like LAN parties are dead then. Last time I had one with friends was three years ago after Halo 4 came out. It's not the same anymore anyways as the glory days with CE and 2. Sad though, something that was so important to Halo's past is gone.

Wait, why would LAN parties be dead?
Because you would need a TV and console for each player.

That's kind of how a LAN party works. Everyone brings their console and TV/monitor over and you connect them through LAN. Split screen helps, but every one I went to when I was younger just used separate consoles.

I'll take the ~~industry standard~~ 60fps over a redundant feature I never use anyday.

As much as Players with local guests were generally terribad on any Halo, and Reach's Split-screen aesthetics made me want to poke my eyes out with a spoon, Split screen gaming should still be an option. Almost any game is most fun playing it split screen with a few friends.

It's not a lot to lament about seeing as the Wii-U still caters to the local MP crowd with stuff like Mario Kart 8 and 8 player Smash, and nothing is preventing one from purchasing a classic console to offer the same thrills, but I still feel that not including Split Screen in Halo 5 is shutting the door on a feature that's really not that hard to add in the first place.

Halo 5 can't hold 60fps even when the resolution is 1152x810

No wonder split screen got cut

That's a demo build.

The Halo 5 beta was from mid-2014, so I hardly expect E3 to be the newest up-to-date build of the game.

The demo was finished just weeks before e3 and has even worse performance than the beta, and the game is going gold in a few months.

It's also heavily scripted and probably quite diferent from the actual game. Remember Long Night of solace from Reach at E3 or Infinity at Halo 4 E3? They all had a lot of scripted stuff added to show off the new features in the game.

So, yeah. I wouldn't take anything as indicative of quality until the release.
