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

Honestly, with online as strong and robust as it is today, I don't see this as much of a problem except for super serious fans of the Halo series (which is obviously not all Halo fans).

If you and your friends love Halo that much, chances are you and your friends all have Xbox Ones. I don't see a Halo fan saying, "nah, I don't want to own Halo 5, I'd rather only play it when I go to my friend's house"

Apparently, halo fans do not have brothers, sisters, or roomates that they'd like to play with, and don't need the option of being able to play with people in the same room.

Apparently, Halo fans have brothers, sisters, or roommates that all want to play Halo with them.

Sure, the "option" is nice, but the times have changed.  No one can deny that splitscreen co-op is such a very, VERY small majority of playtime.  Even the Wii U serves to prove that local multiplayer, AS MUCH AS I ENJOY IT AND I ALL-CAPS AND BOLD THIS SO YOU REALIZE I UNDERSTAND, just can't thrive anymore.

The people who will play hours upon hours of Halo with you in co-op campaign or Warzone?  Yea, they'll have an Xbox One and Halo themselves.
