You would think that it would be obvious that we'd all be playing Halo: CE in multiplayer, but somehow, it's not actually that simple.

So, for all the details on multiplayer in Halo: Campaign Evolved, here's what you need to know.

Does Halo: Campaign Evolved have multiplayer? Situation explained

Halo: Campaign Evolved will not have multiplayer support on launch.

Yes, you read that right! Despite the fact that split-screen multiplayer is one of the most memorable aspects of the original Halo: Combat Evolved – maybe the most memorable – the new remake will not have multiplayer.

When the game launches, players will only be able to play the original single-player campaign with a few new missions added into the mix.

The next question you likely have is whether or not we will ever get multiplayer in Campaign Evolved.

Well, Halo Studios hasn't announced their intention to add multiplayer to the game at a later date, but if the demand for multiplayer support is high enough, that could change down the line.

That being said, the studio is currently working on multiple projects, likely including the next mainline Halo game, so it may just be the case that they have enough on their plates already to worry about adding multiplayer to Campaign Evolved.

So, the long and short of it is that there's no multiplayer at launch, there could be multiplayer in the future, but we think it's pretty unlikely that we're going to get it.

Still, maybe we'll get Halo 7 soon, right? That's what we'll keep telling ourselves, at least!
