343i: The problem with split-screen co-op is ‘nontrivial’

Dev responds to #BringHalo5SplitScreenBack

Halo 5: Guardians’ franchise development director has hit back against criticism that the newest instalment of the shooter will not feature split-screen co-op play.

Replying to a fan hastagging “#BringHalo5SplitScreenBack” on Twitter, Frank O’Connor said that if split-screen was possible, they would’ve done it, but it was “nontrivial”.
