Halo 5 will have no local split-screen for Campaign or MP - "performance related compromise"

Why not make the split screen 30fps? Halo always played good in 30fps.

This. I think they are full of crap and basically don´t want to release the game with splitscreen, hoping to sell more copies.

And get more Xbox live subsciptions. 

Well it's possible apparently to play Co-Op online with an Xboxlive Silver account or Xbox live free so it does mean it's possible to enjoy Co-Op without paying beyond the price of the game, but the lack of couch split screen for me is pretty huge, I've played from From 1>4 and odst/reach co-op split screen it was always a huge element of what made Halo great, it's one thing to say that Xbox is popular now but still... it wont be the same after a big fire fight is over to pause the game and go have a drink and a laugh or so locally.

I'm well aware that a lot of people enjoy online co-op now, but to cut the feature out of a game and then point to it and say hey look no one is playing splitscreen nowadays is just wrong.

Had issues getting Hyped for 5 tho for a while now and when they announced this (was well before E3 they said this btw) It really didn't help that lack of excitement.
