Why does a Halo game NOT have LAN functions or split-screen co-op?

ebin :^)

People still play halo 5?

Because Splitscreen is a relic, ever since the beginning. You're splitting what used to be a max of 480p into 4 little squares and are expected to play on that shit. If you played Splitscreen you're a fag.


No LAN is inexcusable though.

>>321158327
It's objectively true. The Bone can't run Halo 5 multiple times and keep 60fps.
Not that I mind either way. The game is still fun.

Either bait or extremely underage
>>
>>321158830
Just not a faggot. The only people who played splitscreen Halo were poor cunts, if you were old enough to organise LAN's everybody already had their own TV, Xbox and copy of Halo/2/3.

Ill clarify, if you played a FPS splitscreen you're a fag.

That includes and is extremely true if you played Goldeneye. What kind of an asshole find enjoyment in playing some half baked slow FPS at like 80p going at 10 frames with a controller as stupid as the 64's was.

If you played Perfect Dark you were less of a fag but the problems are still there.

>h ey man wanna come over and play halo?
>yeah I'll bring my controller

>hey man wanna come over and play halo?
>yeah I'll bring my XBox, cords, tv, my own copy of halo and a controller

Which do you prefer?

>>321159532
Latter clearly, because i wont be forced to play at abysmal resolutions where you cant see shit.
>>
>>321158473
splitscreen multiplayer is the only legitimate reason to own a console
>>
Because its not 2004 anymore
>>
>>321159638
because it's halo, you'll be forced to play with an abysmal fov instead
>>

This is the woooorld that we live in. . I hear myself get tired

343i could barely get 2-player splitscreen working at 10 fps for halo 4
>>
Because the amount of people who would use it is a huge minority of the current fanbase, and it'd run poorly and then people would shitpost about the poor performance.
>>
>>321157827
just buy a second console, game and live subscription

what are you, ENTITLED?
>>
>>321162418
because these features were in every single halo game before 5

This desu
>>
>>321157827
Because we live in a real world where things are prioritized and low priority items get cut when time/resources become scarce. It's an unfortunate reality that LAN and local coop are only used by a very small minority of players AND there is still technically the workaround of everyone just connecting to XBL with their own consoles and playing that way. When it's time to close out a project and you got loose ends, that is exactly the kind of shit that gets cut first.
>>
>>321163104
Always online takes priority?
>>
>>321163345
That's not the same thing as always online DRM (which I'm sure is what you're implying) and you know it.
>>
>>321157827
To boil it down, its to get parents or yourself to buy another system and buying another xbox live pass so you can play together on separate displays.

Because people bitched about BUTTERY SMOOTH 60FPS for the past 3 years, and they had to cut shit to acheive that.


At least the tradeoff worked though, that shit doesn't drop a damn frame no matter what's happening on screen.
>>
>>321157827
because everyone has internet now
lans are dead

Friend comes over to play.

"Wanna play Halo?" "Sure!"

Friend goes home.
