Here’s how you can get Halo 5: Guardians running in local split-screen on 1 TV

Halo fans are upset that the newest entry in the series doesn’t support split-screen play. Well, here’s a kind-of-sort-of solution.

Screens, a device currently on Kickstarter, allows for two HDMI sources to play on the same TV.  So, you can watch TV on one half of the screen while playing a game on the other. However, you can also use Screens to play split-screen co-op of Halo  5. Of course, the catch is that you need two Xbox Ones. Also, Skreens is still seeking funding, so you can’t buy one now. Still, you can see this solution in action below.
