Following the winter season update in Halo Infinite, users have been wondering about local co-op in the game’s campaign. Since 343 announced that the local co-op campaign has been cancelled, players have found a way to play split-screen via an in-game glitch, which was surprising since it wasn’t supposed to be available.
Considering this, the developers of Halo Infinite have responded honestly to the issues they cause and all of the development complications. According to them, this mode was 80% developed, but due to lack of time they had to cancel the development and move on. All this, after users were able to illegally test the mode and see very good performance results.
Of course we were working on [la campaña cooperativa local] for many, many months… years. There are a lot of challenges from a technical standpoint, and what people have been able to figure out is probably 80% [completado]. But, the amount of work for us to go from 80% quality to 100% quality is significant. And the amount of effort that would take right now is not something we can commit to, and I don’t even know how long it would take to be honest.
“We can’t compromise” is how 343 responds about local co-op in Halo Inifnite
Halo Infinite Live Service Manager Sean Baron spoke with IGN on community issues. The problems start from the Xbox One, as this seems to be the main problem when it comes to optimizing this open world. Not only that, but speculations about distances and many factors like the loading screen also affected the development, leading to its cancellation.
There are things where even though we only have a few locks I don’t know what platform those players were playing on because we should be cross platform compatible maybe that’s not something something we can get through our game passes. certification.
However, if you search the internet, you will find ways to access the local co-op with a problem. In this way, we have realized that this is a fully functional mode, practically without failures. 343’s fear of being criticized for a single bug led them to cancel the project, directly affecting the community.
Despite all this, online co-op is already working. This mode, along with the restarting of missions, has been very popular, being one of the biggest attractions of this winter season.
