Sorry to break itto you Vek but local mp is a thing of the past. At least here in the US, if a game doesn't have online mp component, it doesn't sell as well as the big dogs. People/kids don't go to each other's house to play games anymore.

Halo 5 splitscreen issue was blown out of proportion by a vocal minority, like many more issues that became a trend to hate on 343i. But that's another story.

I completely don't agree with this, considering that we still have nights here of gaming with Street Fighter 4/5, Killer Instinct and then going back to older systems for some Smash Melee or classic multiplayer games like NHL Hitz those games are still exceptionally good fun, it's unfortunate if you don't happen to have friends who live near you who are still fans of a bit of couch co-op or local multiplayer, but when a feature like local co-op is removed from Halo a series which for a lot of people was always played in local co-op they definitely gutted a portion of the game which would have made me consider picking up the X1 for it.

Maybe in the US the concept of gaming nights at a mates place is forgotten, but that doesn't mean that is the case everywhere.

Fuck it actually this whole thread is about an attack on other people having a preference for one type of game or the other, is it so hard to sit down and enjoy your games while other people sit and enjoy theirs? Like it was said by someone else, there is no request to remove online MP only games, just as long as there is the Local co-op or just Single player game options still there for those who enjoy those, the day everyone just enjoys 1 type of game or just 1 game will be a fairly sad and stale day for gaming.

It looks like you're attacking me for spurring a healthy discussion. I invite you to point out my attacks or others in this thread.

I played games in all types of ways and conditions, and of every genre. actually, all I play when I visit my friends back home is KI outside on a giant projection on the wall at night. Ten people passing around the controller.

Halo split screen issue, again,  was blown out of proportion. Create a thread if you wanna talk about that because we're already off topic.
