Just yesterday, the team hosted an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/s5Ikef1DvY0?si=aggKuHM2SPRl-jfh&amp;t=641\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hour-long livestream<\/a> where we got our first proper look at splitscreen co-op, in addition to details surrounding skulls and the challenging LASO mode.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s strange, we could&#8217;ve sworn we&#8217;d seen splitscreen before now, but it turns out we hadn&#8217;t. This is the official reveal, and it looks brilliant. Well, about as brilliant as sharing half a screen can look, anyway. I came away from the livestream feeling quite emotional.<\/p>\n<p>The horizontal split looks natural, and combined with the devs accidentally bonking each other with friendly fire enabled, it captures the spirit of the original <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/games\/xbox-360\/halo_combat_evolved_anniversary\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Halo: Combat Evolved<\/a>. Considering a Halo game hasn&#8217;t shipped with campaign splitscreen co-op since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/games\/xbox-360\/halo_4\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Halo 4<\/a> in 2012, it&#8217;s easy to see why this is such a big deal.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s our first look at Halo Campaign Evolved\u2019s machinima mode. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Halo?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#Halo<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jYULxJAF96\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/jYULxJAF96<\/a>\u2014 Rebs Gaming (@Mr_Rebs_) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Mr_Rebs_\/status\/2077130038806237610?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">July 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As we mentioned, there&#8217;s plenty more stuffed inside the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/s5Ikef1DvY0?si=aggKuHM2SPRl-jfh&amp;t=641\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">livestream<\/a>, including a closer look at the Machinima mode that lets creators tell their own Halo stories like the good old days of Red vs. Blue.
