From the current 343 stream.
Was just announced this evening that Halo 5 will be getting local server support with the fall update; you'll run a server on your PC and connect to it via your XB1 consoles. Waiting on the FAQ to confirm everything but from what I understand it still needs a connection to the internet to authorise but all gameplay is run through the local server and is not Xbox Live dependant after that initial connection.
343 also reiterated the team's dedication to LAN support for future games in the stream, but it's great that Halo 5 wasn't completely left behind.
We also heard that Skybox labs is working on the 4k X update, no more specific details beyond that though. Oddball is also getting official support.
