Thought this would be a Series S/X only feature but still happen. Cancelling it all together is a bummer.

I love how they used this game having it as a major positive community marketing beat given how much people were upset that Halo 5 didn't have it... just to not have it anyway.
This game is a disaster.
Why does 343 think people want this from them? Let the community make forge maps. People want unique shit from 343. This is the exact same thing they did with Halo 5 and it made all maps look the same.

Remember when Halo 5 didn't have any Split screen and Bonnie Ross promised any future game would?
Future Halo games will bring back split-screen

Another example of why player's choice awards (in general) should not be taken seriously.
Man Xbox used to be the home of couch co-op. Now it's just Nintendo who have any real commitment to it on consoles.
Well now I'm really glad I didn't buy Halo Infinite and just chose to experience it on gamepass.
F in the chat for a classic feature.
I have no doubt that their data shows barely anyone still plays split screen co-op (I don't), but it's sad nonetheless.
This might be the final nail in the coffin for split screen co-op in the modern era. All of the couch co-op games I've played in the last 5 years have been shared-screen experiences. With graphical fidelity being pushed so heavily by most modern experiences, it's really taxing to do split screen.

Surprised they're cancelling from all and not just the Xbox One.
Sucks, but it is what it is. I imagine they ran into technical difficulties and I can't say I blame them for wanting platform parity

Yeah just drop it on the XBO if needed for framerate or something but come on.
343 apparently learned a ton of lessons. Yet they've been in the same class for more than a decade now.
I never finished the campaign when it was new, and now I guess I never will. It's just such a boring experience, it really needs another person around to shoot the shit with while you play or it's just so...empty. Oh well. Just makes it pretty clear to never give 343i money for a project until it's clear whether or not they'll ever finish it.
A huge bummer. I have to imagine part of why 343 is struggling with this so much that it would theoretically have to run on an Xbox One and they just can't get it in an acceptable state.
If that's the case I'd rather they keep it as a current gen only feature. Split Screen has always been a huge part of the Halo experience.

Reminder:
It does have splitscreen multiplayer. 4 player splitscreen on smaller maps, 2 player splitscreen on big team battle

Infinite does have split screen multiplayer but it was pretty clear that people were pretty upset at 5 not having split screen campaign too
How can you have data when you haven't had the feature in a decade?
Holy shit. I've been giving 343 a pass since the beginning because I have generally enjoyed their Halo games (5 being a standout in multiplayer, Infinite having the best gunplay in the series) but goddamn.
I have personally no investment in Halo, both generally as a game or as a game for couch coop, but really it's been a hot mess from a communication point of view. They're just paying the price of their bad planning :/
