RealityCheck

I love Halo. I've played every campaign all the way through with my wife. It's the only game she'll play, and she's good. My son, who is 11, has now also played every campaign all the way through with me. Even my 60 year old father got on the Halo train years ago and plays campaign and online. We got a second Xbox 360 so that my wife and I could play multiplayer online and link up with my son My nephew in the other room, while my father half a country away joins our party too. I, like many other people, haven't bought an Xbox One because I didn't see any games that came out for just the One that I would want. I was just about to buy the Halo edition Xbox One, since the game comes out soon. Then I find out I can't play this game with my wife, like we've always done. I can't play it with my son, who's obsessed with Halo after spending so much time playing this kick ass game with his parents and grandfather. Now I would have to buy three Xbox ones to hook up to three different TVs so I could play this game with my wife and son. And we wouldn't even be in the same room. I was ready to buy one for the living room and one for my son's room. My father was ready to buy an Xbox One as well. I told him not to bother. I'm not going to selfishly play Halo alone, when there are other games I can play with my family. What a way to kill a franchise. The Xbox itself is losing popularity by having made so many stupid decisions in past years. Now Halo is following suit. I've talked to so many people already in the same boat as me. Waited for Halo 5 to buy the One, found out no split screen, said screw the whole thing. Pathetic. Out of touch with your fans. Hope the game tanks so next time around you won't just cater to the hardcore gamers who sit in their rooms all day just playing games alone. Many of us still insist on being together while gaming.
