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

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.

Agreed! I used to play split screen with my cousin to Halo 2. Once we saw how much better it was playing across XBL we went that route. I will miss having him next to me but these days it would be harder to do with our schedules. It's much easier to play together from the comfort of our own homes. Plus I didn't buy a huge TV to game on just so I could give up half of my screen. I always hated that part about splitscreen.
