Not too lengthy after designer 343 Industries reported that Halo Infinite's previously arranged split-screen center campaign won't be released after each of the, a fan chose to take matters into their own hands with a technical workaround. At the point when Halo Infinite was reported way back in 2018, 343 Industries promised that the latest entry in Microsoft's flagship sci-fi FPS franchise would incorporate a Halo Infinite campaign split-screen center mode for two players locally and four players on the web. Be that as it may, while such a feature has been a well known mainstay of past Halo titles, its inclusion in Halo Infinite was ultimately not to be.

The problems with Halo Infinite's promised split-screen multiplayer began with the announcement that both it and the similarly well known Fashion Mode wouldn't send off alongside the rest of Halo Infinite last December, with 343 explaining that this was finished to prevent a further deferral for the generally lengthy troubled game. While many fans were disappointed by this development, others were able to wait patiently for Halo Infinite's split-screen to be included a later expansion update - especially after a Halo Infinite center campaign beta was kept down in July. Unfortunately, this beta was tormented with technical issues and a general absence of difficulty that many feel was present during the single-player campaign. Perhaps this was a factor in 343 Industries' eventual decision to drop Halo Infinite's center campaign outright recently, which the engineer stated was meant to permit more resources to be directed toward Infinite's live service aspects and to better address player criticism.










The sudden cancelation of Halo Infinite's split-screen and center campaign has caused an influx of disappointment among players, but Twitter user and Halo streamer Mint Blitz recently uncovered a method for accessing this impeded feature using a glitch. As Mint Blitz explains in a video on his YouTube channel, the secret Halo Infinite split-screen mode can be accessed by stacking up any campaign mission and rapidly joining another player and leaving as it is stacking. Afterward, the player goes into the Custom Games tab, adds in the accounts for them and the player they momentarily joined, and changes their server setting to LAN. The result is a split-screen round of Halo Infinite for up to four players that runs with negligible technical issues, though Mint Blitz adds that the glitch could cause corrupted save files and soft lock in the description of his video. He also attributes the discovery of this Halo Infinite split-screen workaround to a French Halo fan group by the Twitter handle of HaloCreation.

This isn't the first time that a Halo Infinite player has been ready to access the game's currently dropped split-screen through unofficial means, as a Reddit user figured out how to get it dealing with an offline Xbox duplicate by navigating Halo Infinite's accessibility options a couple of months before Halo Infinite's separate multiplayer component was released last November. Both this and Mint Blitz's newfound glitch seem to suggest that Halo Infinite's split-screen was well into development before being dropped by 343 Industries, but the engineer has ultimately chosen to shift its focus onto other aspects like Halo Infinite's live-service online features.

No different either way, Halo Infinite won't be getting the much-asked-for split-screen multiplayer or center campaign when the latest update launches this November - doubtlessly stirring up a lot of disappointment for players expecting to partake in a Deathmatch or two on the sofa with their friends. In any case, it seems like the mode is still accessible to Halo Infinite fans who know the workaround to it, implying that players can still team up in split-screen matches or missions after all.
