Does Halo 5 Have Split Screen Mode?

About Halo 5

Halo 5: Guardians is a first-person shooter video game developed by 343 Industries and published by Microsoft Studios for the Xbox One in 2015. It’s the fifth mainline entry and tenth overall in the Halo series.

Compared with previous works, the story of this game has more subplots. Many historical characters have appeared again, and new enemies will be added to the plot. The main plot follows two fireteams of human supersoldiers: Blue Team led by Master Chief, and Fireteam Osiris led by Spartan Locke.

When the former goes absent without leave to track down the artificial intelligence construct Cortana, Master Chief’s loyalty is called into question and Fireteam Osiris is sent to retrieve him. In single-player plot mode, players will choose different teams on both sides to understand the story of the characters on both sides.

Does Halo 5 Have Split Screen Mode?

Microsoft advertised Halo 5 split screen in a console reveal video, but it’s not actually happening. Unlike previous first-person shooters in the Halo franchise, Halo 5: Guardians does not feature any offline multiplayer capabilities, like split-screen cooperative campaign and multiplayer modes. It also does not have any local networking options.

The reason is that the developers see the robustness of what Xbox Live is today and where people are playing across Xbox Live and that’s the vast majority of the co-op play.

However, is the split screen feature useless really? Actually, many people still like this feature, because the split screen feature allows users to cooperate better and some people may just love the feelings brought by couch co-op games.

Gamespot has ever made a poll asking gamers if the removal of split-screen from Halo 5 is a big problem. The result shows that 3% said they don’t play Halo, 28% said it isn’t a problem and a massive 70% said that yes, the removal of the feature is a problem.

Then, will 343 Industries add Halo 5 split screen feature back? Unfortunately splitscreen was something that wasn’t able to return in Halo 5 for technical reasons (engine), but it is something that will be included in future games.

Try Other Split Screen Games

Although someone suggests that you can use Skreens (a device currently on Kickstarter) to enable the split screen, becuase this device allows for two HDMI sources to play on the same TV. But the catch is that you need two Xbox Ones and this device is not for sale currently.

Therefore, if you want to play split screen games with your friends, I recommend you to try other games, for example:

1. Halo: The Master Chief Collection: This game scores 9.5 in IGN and supports 2-player couch co-op.
2. Resident Evil 5: This game scores 9.3 in IGN and supports 2-player couch co-op.
3. Gear 5: This game scores 9 in IGN and supports 3-player couch co-op.
4. Terraria: This game scores 9 in IGN and supports 4-player couch co-op.
5. Minecraft: This game scores 8.5 in IGN and supports 4-player couch co-op.
