Now go back to 30 FPS and remove sprint so future Halo games play like Halo games again.

Boo this man.

 

[Stinkles]

Good news but hopefully this is an addition. Hopefully doing this doesn't mean having to take something out.

Halo 5 would have had split-screen with infinite time. Games have to be built to schedule with finite resources. The story, for example in H5 would have been improved in split screen by communicating in the room with team mates who had different abilities and responsibilities in a level - but the split-screen was cut and that aspect of the story obviously gets lost in online one screen sessions.

Just a basic example.

 

[sobnekahcS moT]

Yesssss!

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

Halo Multiplayer should always be 60 FPS going forward.

 

[Shil Pencer]

Great News. Now everyone who said they will never buy Halo ever again because of split screens removal can now replace it with not buying Halo until sprint is out of the game.

 

[farisr]

If the cry babies stuck in the past have caused 60fps Halo on consoles to be a one off, I'm going to be extremely salty. >(

COD has consistently been doing 60fps with splitscreen. If 343 can't do it, it's not the fans' fault.

 

[AzureSkies]

I would literally love 343 forever if a split screen patch came to halo 5.

Can't see it happening at this point though. :/

 

[ForkNetwork]

And thats how you make my Halo 5 purchase 100% confirmed, good job 343

 

[Stinkles]

COD has consistently been doing 60fps with splitscreen. If 343 can't do it, it's not the fans' fault.

Of course it's not the fans' fault, but that is not an apples to apples comparison. The games do very different things with very different engines.

 

[psyfi]

I really hope so. It was sorely missed in Halo 5.

I wonder if we'll ever see Halo VR then, though.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Good to see they've wisened the fuck up. Halo has always been a great split-screen experience.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Now go back to 30 FPS and remove sprint so future Halo games play like Halo games again.

But the ONE thing Halo 4 and 5 have over the Bungie games is that they feel better to play.

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

60FPS when split screen though?

 

[TechOne]

Now go back to 30 FPS and remove sprint so future Halo games play like Halo games again.

Back to 30fps for multiplayer? Yeah, no.

Campaign going back to 30fps I'm fine with.

 

[Magwik]

Great news even if I don't use it anymore.

 

[bidguy]

why wasnt it included in halo 5 ?

 

[takriel]

Now go back to 30 FPS and remove sprint so future Halo games play like Halo games again.

30 fps? Are you kidding?

 

[psyfi]

60FPS when split screen though?

I can't imagine they'll let this slip. It'd be too jarring.

Yall, ignore the 30 FPS comment. It's not worth shitting up the thread.

 

[Theorry]

60FPS when split screen though?

Probably not.

 

[godhandiscen]

I hope it doesnt come at the expense of other features.

 

[sirap]

Nice. Halo 7, 8 & 9 confirmed.

 

[singhr1]

why wasnt it included in halo 5 ?

time. read Stinkles's responses above

 

[Zeta Oni]

why wasnt it included in halo 5 ?

Yeah I was wondering this is well, some research turned this up:

Halo 5 would have had split-screen with infinite time. Games have to be built to schedule with finite resources. The story, for example in H5 would have been improved in split screen by communicating in the room with team mates who had different abilities and responsibilities in a level - but the split-screen was cut and that aspect of the story obviously gets lost in online one screen sessions.

Just a basic example.

Frank O'Connor said that btw.

 

[Bsigg12]

Now go back to 30 FPS and remove sprint so future Halo games play like Halo games again.

No. This is a terrible idea.

 

[sixteen-bit]

That's good to hear.

 

[Compsiox]

Hopefully this won't require them to make drastic design changes to make it work on OG Xbox One.

 

[Greatest Ever]

Fuck yes. Totally down.

Now go back to 30 FPS and remove sprint so future Halo games play like Halo games again.

Gamers are the worst.

 

[Cday]

Now give them LAN functionality again as well.

 

[Gwyn]

Good to hear even though i won't use it
Now deliver a good story with H6 and btb dev maps

 

[Diablohead]

Will we get that region select option that halo 5 was suppose to have?

Split screen is important even if I only use it once or twice a year with my cousin on visits, it was a real bummer that 5 had no splitscreen support at all so we just took turns in warzone :/

Now give them LAN functionality again as well.

After all the random disconnects and timeouts the halo esports leagues had I really hope LAN will be back in halo at some point.

 

[Welfare]

Please still be 60FPS

Please still be 60FPS

Please still be 60FPS

 

[Jawmuncher]

That's good. Was really sad seeing it gone in Halo 5.

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

Oh, thank goodness. Good call, 343. I feel differently on how I complained about the terrible split-screen performance in Halo 4 360 when expressing my hopes for TMCC's split-screen performance (remastered H4 split-screen ended up not being great either) - I'll take something over nothing, in regards to local multi options.

I assume it'll be slick on Scorpio. I hope the base Xbox One gets split-screen, regardless of whatever compromises need to be made for the players opting in for it.

 

[LiK]

I guess the next one won't be the last then.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Also Halo isn't stopping at 6 it seems.

 

[Cels]

assuming halo 6 will be on PC, that'll be pretty neat, how many modern PC fps games have split screen?

 

[Rocketz]

Cool. I'm not going to use it but plus for the people that will.

Please keep the 60 FPS SP though.

 

[Shil Pencer]

Also Halo isn't stopping at 6 it seems.

Halo is never going to end

 

[Im_So_Pringles]

This better fucking mean that the PC version of Halo 6 will have split-screen as well.

 

[FinKL]

Let's throw in 6 players while we're at it!

 

[nubbe]

Please still be 60FPS

Please still be 60FPS

Please still be 60FPS

Scorpio exclusive

 

[dmix90]

6TF/4 = 1.5TF per player = ~Xbox One S for each viewport

If you going to keep squad based gameplay( which sucked in H5 ) at least let me use matchmaking with randoms.

 

[Theorry]

Intresting section about that they learned to simplefly the story abit more and let transmedia tell the deeper story. Like they do now with Halo Wars 2.

assuming halo 6 will be on PC, that'll be pretty neat, how many modern PC fps games have split screen?

Gears 4.

 

[ZeezbruhTV]

Thank the lord!!! Now about LAN...........

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Halo stops when the money stops.

 

[ShiftaDeband]

On the downside, Bonnie Ross also said this:

"Not every story is for every person. But in telling those stories, there does have to be some, you know, look-back, paying homage to the lore, and reasons for moving things forward. "

"And while we love our transmedia, sometimes I do think we do tell a little bit too much story in our games, you know when you have a gun and then you have aliens shooting at you, it is kind of hard to digest a lot of story."

"And so I think - good learnings - hopefully we're showing in Halo Wars 2 a little more simple story, and really using trasnsmedia as part of the way to get the deeper story but keeping the game story more simple."

Makes me worry about Halo 6 a little, maybe I'm reading into this too much.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

As long as it's on Halo 6 PC as well, along with cross-play for campaign and firefight ...

... then I'll be happy.

 

[davh]

Great news. Bring back big team battle maps too.

After the backlash from Halo 5 this isn't surprising
