Halo Infinite's Split-Screen Co-Op Has Been Canceled, As Studio Focuses On Live Service
343 Industries is no longer developing local campaign split-screen co-op, a feature that was promised for years.

I'm just completely failing to understand what is so difficult about getting these features in play. I still love this game but the amount of time and decisions that are being made just perplex me.
I don’t think it is about being easy or hard to implement feature but about budget.
You have day one Gamepass + F2P model that basically drops the budget you have in a project because it doesn’t get that money back like in a traditional sales model.
So you have to start to allocate the development resources where matter most… the live service part instead others feature that will get cancelled.
It makes business sense.. it just not good for consumers.

Oh dear, I see quite a few people upset about this on twitter. Coop splitscreen is really or should be a part of the Halo experience.

How things changed from 2017.
Halo games 'will always have split screen going forward,' says 343 Industries founder
Bonnie Ross speaks at DICE 2017.
How things changed from 2017.
So you guys go from “500 million, biggest budget ever” to “you have to drop the budget because of GamePass!”.
You’d have a point if they were announcing that 343 was abandoning Infinite altogether but they’re still working on it. The budget isn’t being slashed or anything. Clearly they think content updates are more important than split screen co-op. Plus AFAIK it’s not even been killed permanently.
Halo 5 didn’t launch on GamePass and it didn’t have split screen co-op either. This is a 343 = shit problem, not a GamePass problem.
They clearly said the reason is because they had to allocated resource to others things…
Yeah but they’re still paying those people to work on the same game. So the budget isn’t being affected. Allocating the same resources elsewhere = the same resources.
Again, you’d have a point if they were abandoning the game altogether but they’re prioritizing. And again, Halo 5 wasn’t affected by GamePass at all and didn’t have the feature either.

Hot take. Cancelling split-screen was the right choice.
Couch co-op is no longer something people care for the same way they did in 2002.
I would further argue that campaign co-op in general should’ve been canned. Too late and if they are indeed developing a pve forge mode that uses players’ PvP characters… co-op efforts are better focused there on modes designed for it from the ground up.
And lastly, it’s safe to assume that limitations on the game due to last gen support would gimp One S and X builds more with rendering the game twice with split screen.
Not worth it

local split screen doesn't bother me. I LAN it up with the fam anyway.
But the fact shit like this when have been pillars since day are just sad to see, what have 343 been doing...

Triple trillion dollar company can't make a co-op mode
Game is too dead to have 3 separate threads about the same roadmap
hell, even move her onto something else. Im sure they could use a few more toilet cleaners.
The game has had more thread about this update than it had updates.
