Why isn't there a campaign 4 player split screen yet?

Why do we have to play over live when they could just let us do split screen? You can with a Halo Reach glitch-- but that risk messing up the game. Why can you play custom games with friends? Why not firefight? Just seems weird.

I would imagine it has to do with how well each person would be able to play. 4-player split screen makes each screen really small, which would make seeing enemies really difficult since they would be small as well unless you have a huge television.

There may be some technical difficulties as well, although Twinreaper would be the guy to ask about that.

It's because not everything on the map would load. The detailed features and functionality get decreased greatly. For example, play reflection on Solo the elevators have buttons but play split screen and they are gone.

Well, there is a glitch that lets you play 4 player split screen in Halo 3, ODST, Reach and Halo 4. However, there are a lot of issues. Just as Fishy says, everything decreases in quality the more players there are. In Halo 3, the game crashes whenever a Cortana moment pops up. In Halo Reach, there's a slower framerate. In Halo 4, the draw distance is considerably smaller and makes the game look very bad. The Xbox 360 isn't very reliable with 4 player split screen. Besides, when I tried out a split screen three player campaign, me and the other two players got lost a lot and got confused with the small screens.
