This is just absurd. No split screen. No matchmaking. You make such a fuss about the 4 player co-op mode and yet shoot yourself in the foot by making it so hard to play a co-op game. My friends don't really play Halo so I really need the matchmaking to enjoy the co-op feature and I am pretty sure a lot of people are in the same situation. It is really beyond me why 343i will do this.
p.s. my gamertag is VapourKill. Add me.
