My huge discovery for Left 4 Dead 2....

that you can play splitscreen ONLINE. like me and my friend were playing co-op then we got bored and decided to take turns playing versus. so i start it up and boom the screen was still split, and we were online. i was just blown away. how in the world did i not know about this??? this is huge, i thought it was impossible on games. why was something like this so overlooked? or is it just me?....what other game does something like this?? and its amazing ground breaking stuff like this that make it worth paying for online.

What's with people's obsession with splitscreen? It makes games look tiny. I'd much rather play with friends online.

Hate split screen

I wish more games did more than just 2-player split screen. Games like Gears and Unreal Tournament should have more than just 2-player.

Not all of my friends have PS3s with the same games I have. I really wish Far Cry 2 had splitscreen because I'd really like to play some of the custom maps I made with my friends. If I wanted to play Far Cry 2 with my friends, they'd have to buy a PS3 with the game Far Cry 2. One of my friends who has a PS3 doesn't want to get Far Cry 2 for it because he already hasthe gamefor his 360. So basically, without splitscreen, I can't play certain games with friends.

Resistance 2, Borderlands, and I believe ModNation Racers will have this feature.

no honestly i found out today. not going to lie tho, another reason to be happy with my choice of trading my ps3 for a 360. splitscreen ONLINE like thats just impressive. 360 is really the true next gen system.

UT3 / Gears of War

Yes, some of the features are awesome and yet overlooked, Halo is one of the best shooters partly for its wealth of features and Left4Dead 2 is following in its footsteps.

splitscreen is an awesome feature that needs to be in more games. Wish BC2 has it, read it has no co-op:?

I've tried it with MW2, Halo, R2, and Borderlands and I just can't stand it. Much prefer games that supports local multiplayer but keeps all the action on a single screen, like fighting games for instance.

not exclusive, yeah.

2 great benefits of playing splitscreen halo, call of duty, whatever.

+You can't camp, because everyone can see your screen. Also, if someone says they don't screenlook, they're lying, becausing playing splitscreen without screenlooking is like living with breathing. It just happens.

+If your buddy acts like an idiot/loser crybaby, you can just slug them. No invisible internet forcefield.

To me, screenwatching is frowned upon. I hate when my friends do it and my friends with any self-respect hate when other people do it. If you're gonna screenwatch, you might as well turn radar on and just keep running towards each other. At least then it's just reaction time.

I lost a lot of respect as a gamer for a friend of mine. We were playing 2 player split screen competitive on MW2. This is when I first started (got the game late) and he had already prestiged once on PC, so he knew the maps and what guns, attachments, and perks worked best. Not only did he screenwatch, but he camped, used BS spots that only regular players would know about, and noob tubed to unlock other attachments. I'm just like, "Dude, your offline profile is separate and you ONLY play against me. Quit being a dick."

As soon as he noticed me coming back and getting some killstreaks on him he's immediately start screenwatching harder and overcompensating for not being the "pro player" that he should be. To this day, he still says he doesn't screenwatch.

Damn COD meatheads. Only concerned with their KD/R and NO sense of sportsmanship.

I didn't know that about L4D2, that's awesome! I have played a few games with Split Screen Online (Halo 3 comes to mind) and I think that option is awesome. It's so fun to go online with a friend when you're playing together on one console :D.

I had fun with it on the first Left 4 Dead. Plus, my TV can split screen 2 different inputs so we were running 2 360s with 2 copies of the game playing 4 players online (technically). It was funny because we'd join a lobby and pick Infected right away. Since we weren't using mics people were assuming we'd be uncoordinated. Oh how wrong they were. :twisted::lol:

When I have friends over we play games that are more party-friendly in nature, not shooters or games that makes my eyes bleed.

Good amount of people play it split-screen online.
