That fact that a mod not only added splitscreen but also made it BETTER in some ways is incredible! I can't wait for future versions which work out all of the kinks.
Siiiiick, cool that it even works for Firefight :0
2:00 Thank you for adding this to the tutorial, The fact that this works on Steam Deck is INCREDIBLY cool, I can just bring my dock, my deck, and 2 controllers to my friend's house and we're gonna play some FUCKING HALO SPLIT SCREEN with more ease than lugging my old Xbox 360 around.
please tell me how you got it working on the deck i really want to play halo on the tv with my dad without lugging my pc downstairs
@@daonebest3001 It's literally in the video.
This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in years! I was trying to make work on my linux Halo 2 in Lutris with split screen, as well as Halo 3 on the Xenia emulator, but having it native is better than anything else! Thank you so much for everything!
Modding community proves once again that devs simply do not care, not that they cannot do it.
Literally the code for Splitscreen is here in the PC version. All this mod does is reactivate it and assign controller inputs
@@Priception i genuinely cannot fathom why they'd go out of their way to remove it.
@@gregorymirabella1423 Ain't it obvious? Don't want multiple people playing on one purchase.
@@agentoranj5858 oh yeah, good point! we can't be having that now, can we?
@@gregorymirabella1423 Certainly can't, because that would take away from Xbox one of the only perceived advantages it has over a PC beyond the objectively low technical skill floor/ceiling.
As you can see, in this example, I have depicted here the PC player as the friendless coomer soyjak hermit, and myself as the xbox live social phenom chad.
Of course, modders got split screen native in MCC before 343 😂
PC games having split screen is surprisingly rare and I'm mad about it.
@@bland9876 I bought Tooth and Tail, Redout, Helldivers 1 just because they have splitscreen. Sadly didn't get much mileage out of them because they're too technical to pick up and play quickly.
They removed it for a reason. They did not want you to have it., obviously.
still ticks me off that the developers are just lazy, look at halo infinite and how that "coop" was also done by modders... finally I can rest easy thanks for this mod being possible now.
@@agentoranj5858 That's unfortunate I bet if you ask on Reddit somewhere you can get someone to steer you towards some good multiplayer games
You have no idea the exorbitant amount of time you have saved me. I have spent many long nights trying to get campaign splitscreen to work with 3 people, so my friends can experience halo for the first time. Thank you very much.
Amazing! 2 guys with laptops and you have a 8 player party game!
This is great, holy shit. The default controls are a bit of a put off, since Universal Default SUCKS in Reach, but I'm eagerly looking forward to this.
I’ve been waiting for this for so long, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I’d love a video explaining how this actually works, fascinating stuff!
Thank you so much! I've wanted this for years! The fact that it had to be done with a mod rather than official support is just sad.
Now if only we could get a mod that enables crossplay co-op on the halo games that don't support it.
This is an insane feat for PC players, modders once again proving their love and dedication for the game, I respect it. Now to find 3 ppl to join in with me....
This is awesome! Been waiting for this as a steamdeck player for a while now!
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, to the dev and to the tester ! Me and my brother have been waiting for this since 2019
thanks for this labor of love, it'll be great for the LAN parties I want to organize with friends :DDD
Had to move back in with my parents a while ago after life hit the fan hard and all I’ve had to play lately is a steam deck. I can finally play Halo with my dad again because of this, just like the early 2000’s again. I cannot tell you how happy this makes me.
So annoying that 343 just doesnt care about split screen. At least the modding community cares.
it's not that they don't care, its that they specifically don't want to enable it
Thank you for sharing this mod!!
this is HUGE holy moly, you guys are awesome! game-changing for machinima! hopefully character customization can be implemented!
Leaving a like and a comment for the algorithm. So many people have been waiting for something like this
thank you for adding a section for steam deck also! This is amazing !!
This is the thing we needed added into all Halo games including Halo CEA and 2A campaigns (for up to 4 players!)!
this mod is the best mod to have come out for a Halo game yet.
looking forward to the controller remap for splitscreen players, I would love to change some controls. but at this point i cant complain as they have alot of different default ones that works really well.
This is super exciting! Thanks for sharing this mod with the community. Now I can invite friends over to play coop campaign!
Thank you so fucking much. I have been holding onto my xbox just for splitscreen. I don't feel tethered anymore. Thank you thank you thank you!
Messed with it for a few, its pretty goated! I noticed that either player 3 mirrors player 1s crosshair position, or a KBM slot will mirror player 1s crosshair position, so along with player 2,3,4 dedicated controller layouts, I would also like to see the option to change the crosshair position manually, or have them ALL mirror player 1s crosshair position! Absolutely goated!
If anyone also has this question, yes it works with 360 control
you only joked about Nucleus Co-op being bad but in my attempt to set it up, even getting its somewhat confusing configuration seemingly right, the multiple-views-in-one-monitor setup didn't work, and this was before I learned each game is entirely its own application instance and every single one needs its own Microsoft account to play. I find even one of those is too many but keep it in use out of necessity, even with burner emails I have no intention of making anymore.
I only wish this let you customize controls because the folks I want to play locally with like having controls different from the default, then this would be an absolute godsend.
Absolute legends. My brother and I can goof around in split screen whenever he visits now.
Amazing!
Amazing! Thanks a lot.
Amazing, can wait to play modded campaigns with my nephew.
HUGE THANKS , FINALLY CAN PLAY SPLITSCREEN !!
Heck yeah 4 player coop finally
you are my messiah. I was absolutely crushed when I found out this wasn't a built in feature
Here, have a sub for this!
Thanks for sharing.
is good to see another Metroid fan, we finally got brief Metroid Prime 4 gameplay/footage
I'm so hyped for Metroid Prime 4.
In honour of that and this year being the 20th Anniversary of Metroid Prime 2 and Halo 2.
I'll be releasing the 1.0 Update for the Metroid Prime 2 Map Pack this year.
you are a LEGEND
It's finally fucking here!!! Something i wished we could have for almost a decade now
AWESOME!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Holy smokes, Batman! No longer will I have to wait for Xemu to patch up for Halo 2 seeing through the floors or Xenia to patch up for smoother Halo 3 play on my deck.
I also installed Halo 2 on Xenia on my Steam Deck in order to play Splitscreen.
But now i no longer have to.
@@Priception I got to try it out last night with some friends on my steam deck while hooked up to a TV. It was just great playing the classic trilogy at 1080p 60fps with the old split screen slayer, juggernaut, oddball, and infection matches. Thanks for this video, because I pretty much only play PC these days, and I had given up on splitscreen for MCC. I wouldn't have known about this if it weren't for your video.
So exciting!! Thanks for helping with this mod and sharing the news :)
I wish 343 can spare some manpower to look at the coding on this and maybe add it officially. Would love to play matchmaking with it!
So all the games technically support 16 player co-op now via this mod? Based.
Sir this is very relevant to my interests.
this is amazing man, thanks. also any possibility of it being added to the steam workshop?
This mod won't be uploaded to steam workshop, as MCC doesn't support this kind of mod naturally.
Unfortunately, no, as this is a dll mod, which isn't supported on Workshop.
Currently weeping with joy
I just used this at a LAN party with a group of friends and we had some overall positive experience with it. But did have some problems.
We stuck mostly with halo CE. We had a mix of devices. Steam decks, ROG ALLYs, Xbox, PCs with this mod installed. On the PCs, it absolutely worked and allowed us to split screen just fine.
What we had trouble with was trying to assign people to a team. Say for example four people are doing split screen but we wanted to have everyone on one display be on the same team. There would be no way to force all players on the same screen to be on the same team and often times there would be at least one person on the opposite team on one display.
User error is a possibility, but I couldn't find anything meaningful about it in my search.
Amazing work, I'd be curious if multi monitors is possible to support? And possibly, having different sound sources for each player...
Really cool even though I don’t have extra controllers! The only issues I’ve witnessed from the little time I’ve spent with this is that my game audio goes silent and my customization goes back to default. But it’s real cool that this exists either way!
Nucleus Co-op mentioned 🥳
To all involved, *Great work!* 👍 I’m excited to see this in action on the Steam Deck as that’s our main party machine. And now I'm dying hoping Left 4 Dead gets this sort of treatment. 💙💜🔥
This is amazing, thank WinterSquire and Priception so much for this, looks like a dream come true. o:!
Hope we can get option to edit players 2-4 controls, but if not, oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, thank you regadless :)
Is this feature not added? I have been waiting to see if they update it for this feature specifically
@@abundancejourney8316 not yet, im doing the same
@@abundancejourney8316 it still has not been added, but a temporal solution i found is to use the steam-input system in order to customize the controls.
It basically re-assigns the controller inputs to other buttons, so for example, the game believes im pressing A when im actually pressing LB
the only thing it can´t do is change the sensitivity
I love it. Now I want a version that works for Halo Infinite Natively. Please 😢
IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME!
That's amazing ! I think the only way to mak it better would be to be able to use a second screen for the second player. Maybe one day !
You guys are literally LEGENDS for doing this. Now I can play with my dad a videogame for the first time :D. I just have one question. Does this mod work with the Game Pass version or I have to get the Steam version of the MCC? Thanks :)
It does work on Gamepass.
The downside with Gamepass is that it's far harder to play other mods outside of this one.
@@Priception Ok, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you :D
This is absolutely amazing!! I have a technical question that may be helpful for those with multiple screens (including myself), is it possible to force the splitscreen 'split' to be vertical instead of horisontal?
I would imagine that this would be much harder (if even possible at all) due to being a new feature instead of just re-enabling an existing feature, but if it is possible that would be incredible!!
LEGIT: I gotta test this
absolutely shameful that developers just gut split screen from their pc releases, this is awesome thank you so much for showcasing it, looking forward to your mod tutorials.
This is amazing work, thank you. I have 1 question, are you able to customize the other three player's armor in MP?
Unfortunately not
@@Priception Ah ok, thank you for the response and the mod again.
So in theory could me and my friend finish playing Cursed Halo in split screen using this mod?
This would be sick if we could!
Yes
@@Priception oh FUCK YEAH we’ve been having network issues too we’re so back with this mod
@@patricktimoney3627This Splitscreen mod should support any mod for MCC.
I haven't tested Cursed Halo. But I've tested all my mods, and others have tested Crash Site in CE, and they all work.
You can also play Halo 1 and 2 coop in 4 player mod which is new
Thank you so much! This is just amazing! I have been getting lots of artifacts on Reach when playing split screen, specially when I aim down my sights, any recommendations?
Make sure the resolution of the game is 1080p or higher. It's a visual bug in Reach.
How do i customise the other players
Awesome
Holy shit
This was what i've been waiting for. Now i can sell my Xbox Series X 😅. But first i'll try it 😅
Brilliant work! I look forward to trying it!
I assume the Halo CE and Halo campaigns are still only 2-player co-op? I keep hoping to find a 4-player mod, but I hear it might be impossible to do.
You can play 4-player local Co-Op campaign with this mod.
@@wintersquire4776
Great Scott!
@@wintersquire4776 Is it possible to play 4-player via the internet? We're still getting the 'too many players' message, and guessing that 4-player only works locally.
@@Nethseaar If you're playing through steam, Remote Play should hypothetically allow you to bypass that check. Remote Play functions off of a game's split screen functionality, but sends everything to the other players through your internet connection. You'll playing split screen... from separate devices on separate networks.
@@the_redpyro4906
Will attempt this. Thanks for the tip!
Cheers
Love Nucleus as much as the next guy but native support is even better!
Works fantastically for CE,2,3, and ODST. Having some major graphical issues for Reach tho. 10/10 mod
Same
Holy molly
This is amazing! Is there a way to invert look settings for each controller/player? I only play with inverted looks and even if I am getting split screen its unplayable for me..
Dude, MAJOR props! This is what I've always dreamed would happen. You've made a guy very happy tonight. Also, the mod doesn't work on Halo 1 and 2 campaigns. It spawns in all the players but doesn't split the screen. Any ideas what might be wrong?
Did you use remastered graphics with more than 2 players? Remastered graphics won’t work with 3/4 splitscreen players.
only work with original graphics
@@wintersquire4776 , that makes a lot of sense. I'll give it a shot! You guys are awesome for responding so quick!
Is there any way to flip the split screen vertically so I can use both monitors for me and my brother to have a full screen each
Sweet buttery biscuits, thank you so much!!
This is what me and my brother have been waiting for, some good ol coop action with friends in the same place!
Thanks for keeping the local coop experience alive. It means a lot man. 🫡 🎉
No worries. When MCC first came to PC, I was annoyed by no Splitscreen. So when i saw what Winter Squire was working on i jumped at the chance to help.
I used to (and still play) tons of BO3 Splitscreen on PC.
Pretty sad that modders have to add basic functionality that should have been in the game to begin with. Great work dude!
how do I set up the controllers between player 1 and player 2 and if the other wanted inverted controls too?
Sorry, I don't want to bother you, but I'm curious. Is there any way to customize other players in split screen?
Sweet, I've been looking for an alternative to nucleus co-op. Native splitscreen should have released on PC without modding in the first place smh 🤦♂
Hi when I launch Halo MCC on steam after installing the mod, I can't actually see the game, but I can hear the music. When I try clicking on the game at the bottom of the taskbar I still cant see the game, just my wallpaper. I was wondering If there a way to fix this?
Played with friends works great!!!!!!!
How did you get the multiple controllers to work? Because I can’t seem to figure it out
Hey, I'm having an issue (and have a workaround for it!)
when i select 2 player split screen and enter the game, when i use the left trigger on one of the controllers, it will change the graphics, throw a grenade, and freeze the game at the same time. with the other controller, i can pause and unpause and the game will resume. This happens every time.
i've tried:
restarting steam/disabling steam input/changing steam input layouts/rebooting my PC.
updating controller firmware (they are both Series X controllers, using bluetooth, and they were already on the most recent firmware)
it happened to either controller, player 1 or player 2, which i think rules out a hardware problem.
I did find that, after loading a level in 2 player split screen, i went back into the menu and turned on a 3rd set to any input that isn't the one freezing the game (or none), the left trigger on the affected controller stopped having this issue!
another thing is the split screen interface doesn't disable inputs or pause the game like it says it does for me.
Is there a possibility for future releases to include the ability to adjust the split screen layout? For instance, I have an ultra wide monitor, so it would be nice to be able to do vertical split with two players. I know that the Xbox version doesn't have that with the native split screen, but I wanted to ask to see if there could be a possibility anyways.
This sounds so awesome, i will definitly try After work. I Hope for Bunker jumper Support soon
This is so great, thank you guys so much
@@frido_gaming Can you teach me how it works? Whenever i add more players nothing happens
@@ThePilleroflightning you have to add a Player and then lose a Level, in the Level you have splitscreen. Cutsceenes Look Like always, so you have to start playing a Level.
@@frido_gaming great😭 now my M&K and controllers won’t work in game. Like I can’t move or press pause
@@ThePilleroflightning you have to Select the correct Controllers, default is Four for first slot but it should be 1 or 0
I'm having issues with getting my controllers to work when I'm in split screen mod. Any idea how to get this to work? When I'm in split screen mode and I'm moving around with my main controller, I see my pointer cursor moving along the screen. I don't have any issues with my controller if I'm just playing solo
This looks absolutely INCREDIBLE.
It goes to further baffle me that 343 didn't copypasta this code from the Xbox version years ago!
343i literally did that. The Xbox Splitscreen Code is still in there and working (that's what we're using). It's just that 343i blocked it off from the PC version.
@@Priception Wow I suspected that might have been the case. I'm glad they at least left the underlying code in. Amazing job getting it working!
Hey thanks for the video. Only problem is on steam deck I’m getting a “COOKED content” launch error. Any advice?
@Priception im having a issue where the game freezes at the end of a leave while playing co-op halo ce. Toggling the alpharing menu dosent seem to work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Its not the end of the world just a little annoying.
Is there any way to change the FOV? its kinda hard to see enemies that are far away with my tv( playing on steamdeck)
Is there a way to switch teams in multiplayer? Can't seems to change teams so it always ends up X vs 1
Hey friend, I have a question, how do I play online with this mod or is it impossible?
I mention it because in order to play with the mod you have to start without the antichest so I try and it won't let me play online this way only locally
I download the mod interface and mod itself but when i open the game I don't see it :(
What about when you are playing through the xbox app? there is no option to open the game with EAC off. I can't find anywhere that shows how to do it.
Would steams controller remapping work then if the mod can't atm?
Steam controller remapping works fine.
I just get stuck in the death screen while loading up the game and can't do anything
can you split the screens to 2 different monitors?
