Sadly I haven't played a split screen co-op Halo game since Halo 2...So this really isn't an issue for me. Sucks for those who play a lot of co-op in the same room though.
What will be an issue for me is if they remove split screen 4 player multiplayer...that would suck.
But regardless, there has to be a reason for this...so I won't hurl childish insults like some of the posters on this thread. Don't forget how much free stuff 343 is giving us for Halo 5. I've never heard of any developer handing out 15 free DLC maps.

Nope, it's just a list of legacy features that 343 previously decided the series didn't need anymore ¯\_(ツ
_/¯Yeah...a lot of titles this gen not including split screen has been super disappointing. Espicially since me and my bro share my PS4, so there are virtually no games we can co-op anymore, and I would have loved to do some raid/strikes/trials co-op with him.
I can understand split screen is harder to do (at least with the same graphical fidelity as solo), but I would take the sacrifices if it meant more splitscreen on games that should do it.
Halo 5 in particular not including it though, damn. If X1 was our primary console this gen, and same for friends too, and Halo 5 didn't have splitscreen, this would be shit news, still is even, just not as much so as I can't see friends getting an X1 for Halo 5. All the fun times we've had on Halo 3 on custom games and splitscreen though... Doesnt instill my confidence Halo 5 will be trying to bring back the fun for forge/custom games again, easily the most fun I've had online.

I coop'd through the first two Halos with my dad. It's still one of my fondest gaming memories. :|
Split screen might seem less valuable post-college, but its value returns as you settle down with an S.O. + family.
There's no trade-off here. As has been said, they should logically be able to cut it to 30 FPS with lowered effects / post-processing / asset quality.

Sucks for those who used it.
Non-issue for me personally.
Also as a side note I feel like 343 has gotten a lot of hate.

Aye, hopefully we get some/most of 'em. I know they said Forge will be a lot more robust/bigger.
Hopefully theater is emphasized/supported like it was in 3/Reach, especially considering spectator mode is in (I feel like these are related in some way).

Trust me I get this something that isn't really done anymore but, here I thought Halo would be the one that would be immune to this. I guess I shouldn't make such assumptions.
Good grief. So I guess hanging out with friends is an outdated concept.

Damn, not gonna lie, I'm disappointed by this. Not a deal breaker, but it still sucks.
It was never a defining feature of Destiny, like it was Halo.

Well, there goes any chance of me buying an Xbone for Halo.
This was my favourite feature of the series.

WOOOOOOOA WOW. that's a bummer, Microsoft just saved me a boatload of money.
None of my friends have Xbones but I was seriously considering getting one, we were all going to play the campaign together! The game informer article thread just pretty much sold me on the game, too

Halo was the last guardian of local features in sp games
It will be heavily touted in halo 6

well guess what? the quality of your memories doesn't matter because it's better to make excuses for companies who in the end make way more money selling you on your own console and your own copy and your own subscription to their online services so that you can play with whoever. they'd better have their own shit too! so what if you live with people you'd like to share playing halo with, as you have with literally every other halo before? clearly you're a unicorn, this series has never ever been notable for its co op or splitscreen lolz so why should it be now
in fact why should it even be in any game? why do console manufacturers even sell extra controllers? haven't they heard nobody uses them? wonder how y'all would feel if next year's sports games didn't let you play locally because besides indies and Nintendo games, they're all that's left that do
even if you're not bothered personally by this, seeing it as excellent news is just plain ridiculous

Meh I haven't used split screen in forever. I can live without it. Sucks for those that want it tho.
Can't you still play online via split-screen though in Halo 5 or was that removed, too?
From how I read it, it seems like campaign co-op is not available via split-screen.
Well as the graphical quality increases..along with the thermal envelope being limited.. and trying to now make the $400 sweet spot pricing... and break even/make few $$ of profit off each console sale, its really not that hard to see why it becomes difficult especially when each company has stockholders =/
The time when companies would eat $70-100 off the cost for the consumer does not really exist anymore.
Maybe they could have done it but had to render at 720p with 30fps locked who knows. Not everyone can be pleased.

And a second tv...
I don't think anything in games gets me quite as mad as the apathy towards local play. Such a disconnected world we're growing into, only the internet fools us into thinking that just the opposite is happening. Well great. That's great. I'm going to... I'm going to step out now.
How is this in any way good news?

Must be a joy at the parties.
What a shitty post.
"That feature that a lot of people love that in no way effects me negatively? I'm glad it's gone."

my friends and I have always played with at least one group using split screen. Definitely not buying this now. One of us would be unable to play

There goes my sole reason to want to buy an xbox one (if 5 had good multilayer unlike reach and 4)
They will still have 2 player splitscreen for MP this is about campaign.

The elimination of local split screen and LAN is really heart breaking. Those are series staples
Was this confirmed?
