I know, it's ridiculous that it wasn't added to each game as they ported / released, if they did that, we'd have it all by now.Foujer wrote:lol these guys seems to think that pc gamers are no-lifes living alone and playing only online.
The fact is my PC is in my living room plugued to my Big TV and I buy mostly couch coop games to play with my family. Now all games are released I can't understand how the addition of split screen can still be in a "maybe some day" state...
This should have been part of the pc version since day 1
I agree. I'm willing to bet that there is a larger player base who would play split screen than players who have HDR capable monitors/TVs.Drahicr wrote:I know, it's ridiculous that it wasn't added to each game as they ported / released, if they did that, we'd have it all by now.Foujer wrote:lol these guys seems to think that pc gamers are no-lifes living alone and playing only online.

Why they picked HDR out of the backlog instead of Splitscreen is infuriating, as if HDR is more important...
Agreed. I actually turned off HDR on my TV because it looked worse on HDR supported content.Drahicr wrote:HDR is such an overrated gimmick right now, considering we've had HDR rendering in games for years and all it did was make sky brighter and in many games too bright.

Nothing unexpected, thats why i didnt buy the game. Starting from the fact that at Bungie theyre probably pulling their hair, those useless consoles only exist for multiplayer splitscreen offline and exclusives, nothing else. There are no reason to prefer consoles over PC, and they perfectly know. So theyre probably not adding this feature.

News of this game came right before I was about to have a baby and I had just built a PC for editing and I was so stoked to play with my friends or my brother when they came to visit. I would have some downtime after the baby was born. INSTEAD, I ended up watching that one idiot testing reach and saying “aWnEsTLy were SURPRISED people want this on pc?” But we can “commit post launch”. Then @sk3tch saying it’s not in the cards. Then it’s taken from their dumb updates. Then it’s added back for “discussion” for 6 MONTHS. just tell me YEA OR NAH. THATS ALL I WANT. YOU GOT ME I LOOKED AT THIS JUNK FOR A YEAR STRAIGHT. I should’ve never bought the game man.
what's your bet on the PC version of Infinite having splitscreen? (Still not listed on Steam features). They keep making blanket statements that it will have it at launch but dance around it for PC.CharacterBus32 wrote:Nothing unexpected, thats why i didnt buy the game.

I think there will be some 'guest' splitscreen mode for the campaign only and nothing for multiplayer, just like Gears 4 & 5.deroqshazam14 wrote:what's your bet on the PC version of Infinite having splitscreen?

The Naïve part of me want's to believe they're waiting on this "discussion" they're having and how to deal with Steam/microsoft accounts for Infinite first. Even though I know it's a non-issue because other games on Steam already have it figured it out.
I’d like to believe it’s gridlocked because of the systems/lack of precedent but... the longer this goes on I just can’t help but think it’s about selling PC copies and absolutely nothing else. After thinking about it, even breakthrough PC split screen games like Portal 2 were a guest thing (granted they created a-whole-nother game for it practically).LawrenceSF wrote:I think there will be some 'guest' splitscreen mode for the campaign only and nothing for multiplayer, just like Gears 4 & 5.deroqshazam14 wrote:what's your bet on the PC version of Infinite having splitscreen?

I was so hopeful the big launch of Halo Infinite would break the deadlock of no split-screen multiplayer on PC. I mean - it's the marquee title from MS, if anything could get the various parties to get the backend systems work done, account issues resolved, etc. it would be infinite. But given how infinite stumbled on previews and had to go back to be re-worked, I think there's very little chance they are putting resources into PC splitscreen.
The gears approach allows them to save face, say that there is PC splitscreen, while not tackling the more complex multiplayer/accounts issues. Hopefully I'm wrong. I'm pretty pessimistic - it has been the last item on MCC backlog for two months now.
