Microsoft Responds to Halo 5 Criticism
By Hunter Braine
Microsoft announced earlier that Halo 5: Guardians would not have a split-screen option for it's campaign or multiplayer. As a staple of the Halo franchise, this news didn't go over well with fans of the series.
The Development Director Frank O'Connor stated on Twitter "If we could do it, we would do it. But it's what they call 'nontrivial.'"
It was back in July 343 announced there wouldn't be split-screen stating it was necessary to provide the best gaming experience to Halo 5.
What fans of the series don't seem to realize is how much work goes into something like split-screen. having various parts of the map loaded at one time requires a lot of power, which is usually why when games have split screen, they downgrade the resolution to accommodate the extra players.
343 deciding to no implement split-screen is disappointing however if they're desire is to produce the best graphics and gameplay, I stand by the decision and look forward to playing on October 27.
