Step-by-step routeReading format

Quick answer

The source demonstrates one Steam PC mod arrangement: extract its package, copy its contents to the game executable folder, connect two gamepads, begin Co-op Campaign, then use Ctrl+Y for the second player. It is not proof for every game version or mod release.

Guide briefing

Set Up the Source's PC Split-Screen Local Co-op Route

This route records one public video's mod-based PC setup. It does not claim that every build, platform, or mod package behaves the same way. Keep the source's order intact: inspect the Steam game files, place the extracted package where the video shows, confirm two gamepads, then enter Co-op Campaign and use the displayed join command.

Before you start

  • A Steam PC installation of Halo Campaign Evolved.
  • The exact split-screen package demonstrated by the source, kept separate until the copy step.
  • Two connected gamepads for the source's local-player check.

Applies to

  • PC players who deliberately choose the exact split-screen mod workflow shown
  • Players with two gamepads
  • Readers who want to separate source-demonstrated steps from unverified compatibility claims
The source introduces its Steam PC split-screen setup before the file steps begin.
