Split screen local co-op on Cold War not working

JonathanFordham · Dec 18, 2021

Split screen options on Cold War does not work. Every time I log in as a guest so we can play offline it will not add the guest player. It refers back to the online add Xbox account? I have tried numerous options including all resets and restores previously noted.

We are trying to setup a BOTS offline game and this option is not available at all?

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

This issue has been going on since the game was launched last year unfortunately.

I'd recommend using online custom games for multiplayer and private matches for zombies Since those are relatively stable.

Hope this helps

I don't play Cold War so I am going by what I have read online just now:

Have you tried going into Cold War, setting it into Offline Play, then quitting the game and loading back in with the guest profile? It sounds like you are loading the guest profile but the game is sensing it's in online mode, thus kicking the guest account out as it would need a LG enabled account

That information was taken from a Guide to setting up local Co-Op:

It's up to the developers if they support local co-op or not, but 343 Industries (The developers of Halo) have confirmed that all future first person shooters will have local co-op/split screen.

Split screen and local co op may be fading away but a lot of games coming out this fall have co op modes and options.

Just for clarification, are you trying to play local co-op / split-screen? Because Halo 5 is the only one in the series that doesn't have local co-op.
