Halo 4's huge trump card that automatically makes it better than 73.48% of FPSs

Forgive the slightly ignorant title and the math calculation, I may have been a few hundreths off.

"4-player split-screen support for its campaign"

Even if they recycled Halo 2's relatively bad campaign, four player split screen would make it a great deal of fun.

There's also some other mp stuff in there. The king of split-screen strikes again! :cool:

So does the game ship with 4 binoculars?

Split screen is always awesome, something that I wish KZ did (it does have split screen but it's bad).

Anyone ever play Time Splitters? It's from last gen but man those games were great with split screen.

Hmm.... if Halo 4 is about MC's solitary, mysterious journey into the unknown, four player co-op might kill it a bit. It's different from Halo 3 coz that was all out war. Should be interesting to see if there's anything in the game's design to compensate for it.FrozenLiquid

They've said Spartan IVs are part of the campaign, so I'd imagine they'll use that in a similar fashion as the Halo 3 MC+Arbiter+no-name elites co-op.

That matters to me becuase I always have 3 other people in my apartment playing video games with me...

Wait...

Oh no, I don't mean character skins. They could have four Master Chiefs for all I care. What I'm talking about is akin to throwing four players into the world of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Does the game simply work when you put more players in? Can the campaign be effectively killed because of it? I'm sure they probably thought of it. They're doing a lot with the competitive multiplayer design wise.FrozenLiquid

oic

Campaign-wise I can't imagine they'll do anything beyond the usual tell players to throw it on Legendary and turn on some skulls, but they have the new [strikethrough]Special[/strikethrough] Spartan Ops mode for proper co-op.

Cool, they bumped it up from 2 to 4 this time. Doubt I'll be playing with more than 2 though.

NICE! While most developers avoid split screen altogether these days (or keep it to competitive or just 2 players for co-op), 343 is ramping up the split screen love! This should make for fun nights with friends.

Plus there are a lot of people who still do the whole splitscreen thing. Nowadays I tend to do a LAN thing where we all bring our consoles or PC's together, but this is easy and convenient and a great way to get my buddies who don't have an Xbox to enjoy the game with me.

Something i really love about 360 games is that coop and splitscreen is allways a priority. 4 player splitscreen coop campaign sounds....too impressive. Lets see...

:P

Splitscreen is a dying breed. This is nice.

Really? a 720p screen split 4 ways.... tiny, pixelated blobs moving around in tiny 640x360 screens... this is fun to you guys?

Wow.

Splitscreen Offline/Online and Campaign?

HOT.

It's great if you have a 40'' or above TV, but if your TV is 32'' or less... LOL.

Playing with 3 buddies on a couch is worth far more than any amount of fancy graphics. I don't even think it's close truthfully. I'd play most games with Minecraft style graphics if it meant more splitscreen.

I wish more games had split screen coop with up to four people. Imagine Left 4 dead with 4 people... so much fun.

So does the game ship with 4 binoculars?

nunovlopes

i Lol'ed

i usually have just another person over or even 2 but i don't really see the use of 4 play SP. Unless you do it on big screen idk.

Not only does he apparently not have friends, but he seems to think that playing with friends should mean having great graphics. When, in all reality, playing with friends, sitting on a couch and trash talking eachother, is one of the geratest pleasures gaming has to offer.

Can't see pic but I can see what it says... and I have to agree. I've noticed that with this Kinthalis guy he always seems to relate things back to graphics, regardless of initial topic.

*waits for a hermit to say I'm a console fanboy who knows nothing*

Halo 2 had a bad campaign? Since when?

I'll have to agree with this.I find it hard to play 2-player Split Screen,let alone 4-player.It simply gets way too confusing with those tiny parts of the screen,low resolutions,etc.Simply not enjoyable...

I love LAN parties though(even though LAN's a dying breed nowdays,sadly :(),having the entire screen to myself is always the way the game is supposed to be played for me...

Careful!

Consolites get upset when you bring things like facts as well as opinions that don't coencide with theirs.

Apparently all I care about are graphics and also, I have no friends.

How amiable these consolites are!

Just so everyone with a working brain understands my position:

It's not about the graphics. It's about a TINY screen in which you cannot possibly make out the kind of detial you need to make out to have an enjoyable experience playing a shooter.

Jeebus on a pogo stick, you'd think I spit in their mother's faces or somehting.

to begin with,Halo is not even a proper fps...

A proper fps needs to haveat least "k/m, 60fps, large fov", and halo have "controller, 30fps, small fov"

he have common sense, please tell me how you are going to play with 640x360? I mean you cannot make sense of what you are seeing at this ultra low resolution.

playing an fps game with "k/m, 60fps, large fov" is a million times more enjoyable than "controller, 30fps, small fov" and that is a fact not an opinion.
