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
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
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.
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.
I’ve been waiting for this for so long, THANK YOU SO 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.
Now if only we could get a mod that enables crossplay co-op on the halo games that don't support it.
Absolute legends. My brother and I can goof around in split screen whenever he visits now.
I’d love a video explaining how this actually works, fascinating stuff!
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.
thanks for this labor of love, it'll be great for the LAN parties I want to organize with friends :DDD
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
This is awesome! Been waiting for this as a steamdeck player for a while now!
Thank you for sharing this mod!!
thank you for adding a section for steam deck also! This is amazing !!
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 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.
It's finally fucking here!!! Something i wished we could have for almost a decade now
This is super exciting! Thanks for sharing this mod with the community. Now I can invite friends over to play coop campaign!
HUGE THANKS , FINALLY CAN PLAY SPLITSCREEN !!
Amazing!
Amazing, can wait to play modded campaigns with my nephew.
Nucleus Co-op mentioned 🥳
Thanks for sharing.
So annoying that 343 just doesnt care about split screen. At least the modding community cares.
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.
Currently weeping with joy
Heck yeah 4 player coop finally
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.
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!
Thank you so much!
Sir this is very relevant to my interests.
Here, have a sub for this!
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!
you are a LEGEND
This is the thing we needed added into all Halo games including Halo CEA and 2A campaigns (for up to 4 players!)!
AWESOME!!!!!
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.
LEGIT: I gotta test this
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!
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 !
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.
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....
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. 💙💜🔥
Amazing work, I'd be curious if multi monitors is possible to support? And possibly, having different sound sources for each player...
Works fantastically for CE,2,3, and ODST. Having some major graphical issues for Reach tho. 10/10 mod
Same
So all the games technically support 16 player co-op now via this mod? Based.
You can also play Halo 1 and 2 coop in 4 player mod which is new
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.
Once again the community doing the work the 343 can't do. I am as impressed by how the Halo community manages to keep the games alive as I am disgusted by the fact 343 gets paid to run this franchise into the ground.
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.
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
Love Nucleus as much as the next guy but native support is even better!
I was wondering when a Mod was ever going to surface. if L4D2 can have it on PC, So can Halo!
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.
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.
I use my PC like a super-charged console. I boot up into steam big picture mode and use controllers ffs. Split screen co-op is all I ever wanted for Halo games, and it's really messed up that we have to mod just to get this basic functionality. Guess 343 thinks all PC players have no IRL friends or something.
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?
Holy shit
Holy molly
Cheers
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
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!
I noticed other people losing audio once the level starts, I am having the same issue. Anyone find a fix?
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!
Is there a way to switch teams in multiplayer? Can't seems to change teams so it always ends up X vs 1
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.
Okay I’m on steam deck and did all of this and it’s not showing up… do I need to download the VC distributable?
Would steams controller remapping work then if the mod can't atm?
Steam controller remapping works fine.
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 🤦♂
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.
can you split the screens to 2 different monitors?
You can't remap controls, but can you at least edit the XY sensitivity on controller t? That's really our main gripe - we increase the sensitivity but leave the other default buttons. We always play with Nucleus Co-Op, but definitely excited to try this and track its development.
can you change the aim speed of the 2nd player?
I download the mod interface and mod itself but when i open the game I don't see it :(
Since it’s with anticheat off, it probably wouldn’t count my campaign progress would it? I’ve been trying to play laso with my brother and I want it to count.
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
Can i use this mod on the microsoft xbox whatever launcher as well because i bought it there this would be really nice
Pretty sad that modders have to add basic functionality that should have been in the game to begin with. Great work dude!
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 the menu is sill not showing up even when I installed Microsoft Visual C++, how do ifix this?
I just get stuck in the death screen while loading up the game and can't do anything
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.
Hey so the mod works great, it’s just when I spawn in, the keyboard player’s character keeps looking up and rapidly spinning, and I haven’t found a way to fix it, has anyone else had this issue?
How do you get Microsoft Visual C++ to work on steam deck. It's an .exe file & doesn't install. The spiltscreen pop up doesn't appear in MCC eventho I followed all instructions.
So i'm on SteamDeck. First of all, what a great mod!
Question that remains for me: when i'm finished playing splitscreen with my friends, can i then just start the game regularly with EAC or do i have to remove the dll and launch option again so i won't get flagged or something?
Or can i add the MCC exe as a non-steam game and then have a SplitScreen Version & a normal version or something along those lines?
You either have to remove the dll or remove the launch command in order to play Matchmaking.
@@Priception Do you think it's possible to have both shortcuts ready to go? Would be nice
Can the other split screen players play on a different display
The only thing that could make MCC any better is if we had a modded custom game browser
Unfortunately seems to just close my game after a few seconds with the mod copied to the file.
Edit: worked after turning off msi afterburner / rivatuner
For someone that does machinima is it possible to customize the characters as well?
Not yet unfortunately
@@non-canon7719 ah are there any words? i felt so close because been trying to bicker on this.
Would I be able to play using mouse and keyboard alongside those who play with controllers?
I’ve been testing it this morning and yes player 1 can either use keyboard and mouse or pick from whatever controllers are connected at the time
Does this work with local couch multiplayer I wanted to play with my nephew introduce him to the halo series
... this is literally local couch multiplayer
I should be able to use x360CE to use any generic controller with this mod right?
If that controller is XInput or is supported by Steam Input then it'll work with this mod.
This is really freaking AWESOME! Hey, Priception, I'm trying to get people together to do a 16-player multiplayer campaign in either Halo 3, ODST, or Reach. Are you interested?
I may be down
@@ThePilleroflightning Cool! I made a discord, just cause I didn't know any other way of gathering people. Hop in if you're interested. The link is in my most recent video.
Hello,
So I followed the instructions in your video. The UI for adding players appears fine, but when I start Halo: Reach Firefight the screen just goes black. The same for multiplayer and when I boot up campaign it has split screen but shows respawn 0 and a blurry horizon haha. The program files window is also open when it runs; is this normal? Should I input anything? Both lines are green btw. Help on why the mod isn't working would be great! Thanks!
im having the same issue, have you been able to fix it?
@@adag2687 unfortunately, no. I gave up for now and was waiting on a reply from this TH-camr since I think he said he helped make it or something.
@@adag2687 I am wondering if it just needs to be patched and updated
