343 epic fail no split screen.

Your new halo looks great.... however the fact that you have no split screen multi player is a EPIC downfall crash and fail. Everybody I know since day one got together at friends houses and played together. Sooo many people discontinued there order. If I knew this before I got it, I wouldnt have spent the money.

Kinda sad that you bought a game without doing the necessary research before actually putting the money down. Then again, I doubt a lot of people bothered to do any sleuthing before buying Halo 5 because Halo tried to be something different until recently. Of course, with the changes of Halo 4, you'd think people would want to know more about something before they bought it.

 

Bluntly, everybody's known about the lack of split-screen for quite a long while before the game was released. The game basically went gold right after we found out.

That being said, we're only a community forum. Sure, Xbox Support, yadda yadda yadda, yeah, we're just a group of fans that got together in hopes of possibly gaming with each other. The official forums can be found at Halo Waypoint.

 

And excuse my harsh nature, but after you read enough of these threads, they either get hilarious, or deeply disappointing.

 

I agree. I despise the lack of split-screen. I downright hate it. I miss being able to play with my girlie on one screen, going through the campaign or figuring out the new multiplayer mechanics together. Of course, this is the age of Xbone, where video games get released as a broken slab of slag and get day-one updates.

Sadly, this is what the industry has turned to. Disappointing fans for a fat profit. Mix every other AAA title together and you'll make some bank.It's way too disappointing, but people that would like to see the best out of a company. Of course, this kind of thinking that makes everyone look foolish.

We appreciate the opinion and the feedback; Hopefully, you'll stick around for something other than hatred of Halo 5. Maybe 343i can actually fix it before everyone decides to abandon it.

I understand the sentement though, while its frustrating to read these threads each time, i specifically joined becuase i just picked up the game and found out it doesnt have local co-op. Am getting a refund tomorrow. While it has to be frustrating for yourself each time you read these threads, for each of us, we have just found out something really upsetting, and venting those feelings. Ive played every single game of halo split screen with my brother since the first. We had the game booted up, and i was trying to work out how to get split screen working and googled it to see if anyone else was having this issue. It was really deperessing to see this.

And i did very minimal research on this game because i tend to not research games that often as I find it ruins the excitement for me. I didnt even cross my mind that they would take out local co-op, as it was always such a huge thing for the halo games. I couldnt imagne the game without them.

Anyway, I am totally feeling what the OP is feeling right now, and i apologise that you have to read these posts over and over again, but for us its a way of venting something that has upset me quite a bit.
