I've never played Halo, so I only have second hand knowledge but some of the streamers I follow were severely dissapointed. For them Halo splitscreen was THE reason to play Halo and they absolutely loved it. They said they didn't give a shit about the story from Halo 2 on out, so for them it was all about the mad fun of local multiplayer.
Consequently they wont stream it when it comes out. :/
