That would be understandable if the ports were absolutely excellent, but they aren't.Īs with the last few goes, subscribers to Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass service will receive the Xbox One port of The Master Chief Collection, so that's some consolation. Maybe the feature isn't being asked for? If split-screen isn't a high priority during development, 343 is probably putting those resources into better optimizing each port.

RELATED: Halo 2: Anniversary PC Review: Hopefully The Show's Writing Will Be As Good As This If the aging Xbox One hardware can support split-screen for up to four players in its competitive multiplayer modes, why is vastly superior PC hardware not able to do the same thing? Pure CPU grunt would power past any rendering deficiencies and provide a smoother experience than even the One X can in a similar scenario. One has to wonder what the reason for the omission is. 343 Industries is likely not going to be bringing this feature to any future Halo games or even the pre-existing ports on PC. Those of you with a beefy PC hoping to experience Halo 2: Anniversary with a friend are going to have to hope they also purchased a copy of the game.
Yes, for the third time in a row, one of the ports in The Master Chief Collection on PC relegates its multiplayer to online battles only.
No, I'm not talking about Halo: Reach.or Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. Stop me if you've heard this one before, but a Halo game launched on PC recently and it didn't have split-screen multiplayer support.
