Halo 5: Guardians - Your Team is your Weapon

Source: [url]https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/halo-5-guardians-your-team-is-your-weapon[/url] [b][u]343i's Explanation of Cutting Splitscreen[/u][/b] The decision to remove split-screen support from Halo 5: Guardians was one of the most difficult ones we’ve ever had to make as a studio. We know that for many of our fans, Halo has meant playing together with friends in the same room. We all have great memories of past Halo split-screen multiplayer matches. To move Halo’s gameplay forward and deliver a true next-gen experience, tough choices had to be made. Our decision was driven by a desire for scale, fidelity and focus to ensure that we would deliver the best quality experience possible. With Halo 5 we are delivering massive scale environments, improved AI behavior, increased visual and gameplay fidelity… something that truly takes advantage of a new platform. Many of our ambitious goals for Halo 5 would be compromised in a split-screen setting and the time spent optimizing and addressing split-screen-specific issues would take focus from building other parts of the game. Game development is a balancing act of resources, time and technology, and in this case we made the tough decision to sacrifice something that’s been near and dear to us all.

    Yhea i heard drop in drop out and didn't believe it for a while. It's already looking like republic commando, they are moving away from party experience to single player which tailors to some and less to others [spoiler]now that I think about it, ppl complain about the revive system because it's like cod... But wait, [b][u]REPUBLIC COMMANDO[/u][/b] did it first, so they are copying republic commando rather than cod (same thing I know but it sounds better when it's copying from RC [/spoiler] [spoiler]"Was it, red red blue? Or red red green" "And he is supposed to be the demolitions expert"[/spoiler]
