So... I guess I'm going to have to pick up after your horrendous mistakes on here too?

"2015's Halo 5: Guardians did not include any kind of split-screen, something that Microsoft was criticized for. Today, the company confirmed that Halo 6, or whatever the next game in the series is called, will indeed have split-screen support."

This was confirmed by 343 Industries executive Bonnie Ross during a speech at DICE 2017. Ross said not including split-screen in Halo 5 was one of the "painful learnings" that Microsoft faced after taking over ownership of the Halo brand from Bungie.

'For any FPS going out forward, we will always have split-screen in,' she said.

Ross also said Halo: The Master Chief Collection's rough launch was another 'painful learning' for Microsoft. The company previously referred to this as a 'black eye' for the developer.

Struggles like this are 'incedible painful for the community and for us--and it erodes trust,' she said.

Immediately after Halo 5 came out, Halo franchise director Frank O'Connor said the blowback from the game's lack of split-screen support was 'huge.' It was technically impossible for 343 to add split-screen to Halo 5 through a patch, O'Connor said.

The game's 60 FPS frame rate is partially responsible for this. When 343 made the decision to have Halo 5 run at a locked 60 FPS, the team did so with the understanding that it would create 'some issues' and technical impossibilities for the rest of the game.

The number of people who play Halo games via local split-screen is small relative to the total player base, O'Connor explained.

No new Halo FPS games have been announced. Xbox boss Phil Spencer recently suggested the next Halo FPS will not be released this year, which is no big surprise, given that Halo 5 is not even two years old."

A lot of work needs to be done, but I guess we can applaud them for this first correct step of many more.

It's what happens when they start trying to please the E-Sports crowd that's never coming back.

They returned splitscreen after my co-op pal is dead and one of my arms walked off into the sunset.

Maybe if they try hard enough they can ressurrect those two dead things alongside the series they continually butcher the corpse of.

I neither fear, nor despise.
Too bad they are 2 games in already and still making major fuckups. Can't wait to see what they ruin for the next one.

They have already revealed how in that they somehow plan on having even less of a story than Halo 5

If 60 fps was the reason why SplitScreen was blocked, I'm laughably curious to what screwups with the engine and graphics are gonna be apparent with H6 with Splitscreen.

Hey that's really neat, but I'd like them to make a game that's worth playing, first.

H5 didn't have splitscreen, and that alone gave it about +80% of the flak that it received. I guess people are really hardcore about classic couch multiplayer making a comeback.

It's why I stopped playing it after my first playthrough and all of 15 minutes of multiplayer. I hadn't seen the news that they had scrapped the feature, so when I turned it on the first time and sat down to run through it with my wife (not really big on FPS but still likes co-op), I was pretty shocked that splitscreen wasn't available. I'm really glad to see it back.

I hope it doesn't mean that people who play single screened lose 60FPS
