The PC is the best way to play the new Halo: Campaign Evolved remake, as well as almost every other Halo, except for one glaring flaw: no split-screen, for some reason. Xbox and PS5 get it, but PC is locked to online co-op only.
Ten years ago, that's an omission that might've gone unnoticed by most, but the rise of living room PCs and local game streaming has made split-screen more relevant than ever on the platform. It's dumb and a little insulting that Halo Studios short-shrifted us on this one, but modders are here to help.
Enter mod "Halo Campaign Evolved Split-screen Coop" by Jpurd123 on Nexus.
