Same screen multiplayer

passingthrough

Is it possible to play multiplayer on same tv. I'm goin to a friends now and was wondering can we both play multiplayer on mw2 at the same time?

Only in Spec Ops missions.

Yep and it's really annoying how more and more companies are ditching split screen. 4 player split screen with mates will always beat playing online. I wish other developers would follow the Halo 3 approach of allowing 4 player split screen online so that it will be in a good game this time :P

4 Players on the one tv is only good if you have a huge TV though.
I have a 32" Sony Bravia and id have to sit closer playing with my bro on Resident Evil 5.

And it also depends on what game you are planning to play.

I think the game developers are leaning towards CO-OP online with one of your online friends rather than a friend in your sitting room.

I hate this. I wish more games had a split screen co-op. It's always great craic playing through a game with 2 people. I remember when I got my ps3 playing Restance with my mate, good times.

Bah! I remember the days of playing Quake 2 on ps1 with a multitap on a 14" screen and it was great. Goldeneye and Mario Kart as well. I have a 32" screen now and to me it's amazing to have so much screen available when 4 people are playing. It's like having a whole 14" screen to yourself!

Playing online is never ever as much fun as having 3 other people there shouting at each other. Bad example because it's not splitscreen I suppose, but Little Big PLanet with 3 other people drunkenly shouting abuse and/or encouragement is the most fun I've had with a mutiplayer game in years. Playing with people, even friends, online just isn't the same at all. Might as well be on my own.

Even when we get a good Split Screen (E.g - Borderlands) You usually can't bring it online with both players .... (E.g Borderlands)
