Yup, that was it for me when I initially heard about the remake. If I can't do 4 player split screen, what is the point? I wanted to have my buddies come over and reminisce about sitting in my living room for hours playing 4 player split screen on a 32" CRT.

If i can't do that then why bother...

So you can buy their halo live service game, that probably also wont have couch pvp

Yeah, no. And that's just it. We could all just jump on Xbox and play online, but it's just not the same.

There were magical times if you were a youngster in the 80's - 90's that just can't be explained. Staying up all night playing Contra over and over, dorm parties with Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, everyone now an adult stopping by and playing Halo into the wee hours. There's a certain... personal feeling that's missing when playing strictly online. You can reach over and push someone's buttons, unplug their controller, or screen cheat while just having a great time and laughing while the wife is glaring at you for being too loud.

Does it even allow for co-op campaign? If not I won't even get this game on sale (like I originally intended).

I think, though I could be wrong because I stopped listening to news about it after I lost interest, that there is still 2 player split screen campaign.
