The one big catch is that unlike the good old days of Halo and Halo 2, now everyone needs to have a gamertag, which means a Microsoft account. To play split screen, each player needs to be signed in, since guest accounts are not supported in Halo Infinite.

The critical and consumer backlash was bad enough to lead to a notable moment of damage control for the series' devs at 343 Industries. At the annual DICE gaming summit, an event centered around developers, 343 chief Bonnie Ross made a pledge: Halo first-person games "will always have split-screen support going forward," she told the crowd.

Today, after months of delays and optimistic suggestions, Microsoft and 343 Industries have walked back that pledge. The game's campaign is no longer slated to ever receive a split-screen mode for friends to share on the same couch.

The news came as part of a 30-minute Thursday presentation about upcoming Halo Infinite updates, which additionally confirmed that online campaign co-op is now scheduled to debut on November 8 alongside the highly requested "Forge" editing suite (used by fans to create and share new maps, custom gameplay modes, and other community content). The news about split-screen does not appear as text in any 343 Industries communications this week.

"We have had to make the difficult decision to not ship split-screen campaign co-op," Staten says, then confirms this is a deliberate decision to "take the resources we would use on that" to instead tackle other development priorities. Worse, the studio has additionally delayed its "season three" of multiplayer content, choosing instead to push that content to March 2023 to make room for Forge and online co-op launches.

When the oft-delayed sequel Halo Infinite finally materialized in 2021, it arrived without any form of campaign co-op functionality. Staten warned fans about the bad news months in advance, promising that online and split-screen versions of the mode would arrive in a 2022 "season two" update. Staten returned with more bad news in a March 2022 update, saying that all co-op was delayed further while assuring fans that his team was working hard on both possible modes. At the time, he suggested that local co-op would be limited to two players, compared to a four-player maximum in the online version. "The non-linear, wide-open sections of the campaign present some big challenges for split-screen that have taken us more time to solve," Staten said at the time.

Today's quote about resource allocation brings to mind at least one outstanding issue with Halo Infinite's free-to-play online versus modes: "melee desync," which causes players to see and experience different collisions and impacts than what registers on a live game's servers. After players clearly documented the issue, a 343 Industries staffer responded to a Reddit thread in June to say the issue would persist because "devs that would work on these fixes have been allocated to other Infinite work."

Fans were widely upset about the loss of split screen co-op in Halo 5, with many believing this decision was a way for Microsoft to sell more Xbox consoles. 343 Industries heard players' complaints and, at the 2017 DICE Summit, then Head of 343 Industries Bonnie Ross declared that every future Halo FPS game would have split screen co-op for now on. However, by the time Halo Infinite launched in 2021, players could only play a limited version of multiplayer split screen and no campaign co-op was to be found.

Xbox Live campaign co-op was later added to Infinite in 2022, but it was limited to four players, each playing once again as multiple Master Chiefs. However, gamers have found a way for players to play campaigns with split screen co-op. As a campaign mission loads, the host can join another player as the mission is loading. The host can then leave the fireteam, go to custom games, add up to four split screen accounts (on Series X or S consoles), and switch their server to LAN (Local Area Network).

As Halo Infinite nears its three-year anniversary, many expect its life cycle to end soon, especially following the conversion of large seasons to smaller content operation events. It would be a nice farewell gift for 343 to complete split screen campaign co-op before transitioning to work on Halo 7 or other Halo titles. Completing campaign split screen would offer a great new Infinite experience to play while the next Halo project gets made.

If 343 Industries is working on Halo 7 or will begin working on it soon, the next mainline Halo game must launch with campaign and multiplayer split screen co-op. Split screen multiplayer is a classic and well-renowned element of the Halo franchise. It helps spread positive reviews of Halo games from person to person, as people who have never played a Halo game could play it with friends at parties or other gatherings and this could inspire them to buy their own copy of the game.

Halo is a 23-year-old franchise with many longtime fans having families of their own, and there's no better way to get the next generation of gamers to play Halo than through split screen co-op with family and friends. Split screen co-op is a Halo tradition that should never be abandoned ever again and Halo Infinite players deserve to have the feature completed.

The Halo franchise was built with split-screen play in mind. From the very first title, with few exceptions, each game has allowed for split-screen play of two or more people in the same room to team up against each other, other players, or the AI-controlled aliens of the campaign. Halo 5 was a disappointment for fans of the series because of the lack of any kind of split-screen functionality, co-op or multiplayer, which has caused many people to wonder if the next installment, Halo Infinite, also left that feature behind.

Step 5: If you're playing on an Xbox Series X or S, you can repeat this process to have a total of four players on one console. Xbox One systems can only allow two players. Also, only two players can be in split-screen when playing the Big Team Battle mode, regardless of console.

No, at least not yet. Halo Infinite has delayed the launch of any type of campaign co-op until later in 2022 and will first launch as just online co-op. There's no word as to when we can expect local, split-screen co-op to be added.

Again, the sad answer is no. Despite Halo Infinite being fully playable on PC with full controller support, you are only able to log in to a single Xbox account, meaning no second accounts can be added to play. 343 has never mentioned adding this feature to the PC platform, so for now, we don't expect it to ever be added.

Halo Infinite is best played with friends, and while online is great, being able to play with your teammates sitting right beside you is arguably more fun. Halo built its fanbase on allowing people to come together to play, so we're glad that, at least in some way, Halo Infinite continues that tradition.

Is it a pirate's life for you? If so, it won't be a very long life in Skull and Bones if you don't have a loyal crew at your back. Setting sail on the dangerous waters of this online game leaves you open to all sorts of peril that a team may otherwise avoid. While you are always in a server with up to 20 other players, you never know who those players will be, which is where forming a group comes in handy. Thanks to Skull and Bones being a crossplay game, the only limiting factor to playing with some pals is knowing how to do it, which is where we come in.
How to play with friends in Skull and Bones

Forming your crew is simple once you know where to look in Skull and Bones' menus. First, pause the game and go to the Social tab. You can see any players on your friends list on the left-hand side. You can also tab to the right to World to see a list of players currently on your server if you want to invite a new friend to your crew or check Requests if someone has asked you to join their team. You can also use the Find Group option to look for any other players who want to team up but don't have any friends playing and are open to anyone joining.

You have a decent selection of modes to pick from in Foamstars on any given day. You can play solo or as a team with friends in the mission modes, or fight it out with foam in the versus matches. Once you run through all the playable characters, you might start to get a little comfortable with the match types available.

That's where Happy Friyay Party and Extreme Party come in. These game types are limited-time events, meaning they only show up during specific windows of time. If you want to clean up the competition in some fresh modes, here's when you can play them.
