I guess it sucks for the people who like it, but honestly, any time I end up with split screeners on my team in COD, I just roll my eyes because it's pretty much a guarantee that they're going to combine for 4 kills, 30 deaths and do everything they can to make it impossible for the team to win.

No Split Screen in Titanfall

You know what they are probably doing rather than concentrating on winning and kill/death ratios?
Having fun together.

Yeah not sure about Destiny, it would be cool if they did though, God knows they have a ton of people working on that game. Maybe they surprise us.
I expect COD to keep it around for a while. Those games arent really graphically taxing and Acti pretty much has the whole farm working on COD's now. I was bummed about GG removing it from KZSF, I wouldnt have minded 720p for split screen and 1080p when its full.
Also, if everybody else starts removing it from their games, by COD keeping it around, that actually makes it a selling point to the consumer. You know Acti loves teh moneyz.

My experience of split screen all the way from Sonic 2 up to ghosts has been a horrible one.
I find no enjoyment in it at all.
Props to those that enjoy it.

Doesn't really affect me (getting it on PC) but it would have been nice to have the option.

I feel like because this game is just online mutliplayer that it won't do as well as people think.
Just me though.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
I agree.
online only doesn't exclude splitscreen support
i will say this though, if i was trying to prove my game as the next big evolution in FPS, id try to add these types of features, releasing a bare-bones prototype of an idea isn't going to do it any favors.
Yea well when they're ruining my fun by letting the other team get Swarms and Dogs everywhere, it becomes a bit of a problem.

Does it at least support LAN? How will tourneys work?
Not to be a jerk or anything, but what on earth are you doing in a Titanfall thread then?
I rarely played split screen with my friends so it's really a feature I dont give a shit about. The game looks cool but mp is also something I really don't play unless it's really good. Keeping shifty eyes on this game.

If a game is big and lots of my friends end up getting it I can usually look past no splitscreen online.
But it's still a shame that when your friend comes over and you can't play it.

People with friends who visit in person.
People with family members who play games.
People who prefer to trash talk in person than over a microphone.
People who are actually liked enough to share a screen with another human being.
People with a console that can handle it.
People who aren't antisocial.
People who don't like to be alone.
People with a TV large enough that the split screen isn't a distraction or...
People who have a Sony 3D TV with independent views.
People who play games that ONLY have local split screen co-op.
Just to name a few...
Given the rumor about 720p XboxOne next gen power it's hardly surprising.
Was able to pick up a retail copy PC preorder for $40-44 delivered in Australia so think it would be the same in the States or Europe?

Oh god I miss those days. So many drunken nights of Goldeneye and Mario Kart. Even then for the one game PC anyone cared about some of the guys' floors had huge LAN Counterstrike games where they'd leave their doors open and scream at one another down the hall and have occasional Starcraft tourneys. Erm, right, but point being that even if I'd no longer use it much (if ever) I do appreciate any game that does remember that at least occasionally two people in the same place would like to play a game at the same time. That's absurd for a game that's multiplayer-ONLY to not even get a choice in the matter.
I assume part-joke but there really hasn't been much widespread marketing or hype/discussion outside a few forums about that fact it's multiplayer-only. They do know it's by the CoD people and that's always had some kind of campaign mode. Heaps of people are going to load the thing up on day 1 and be seriously annoyed or not even be able to play it at all in some cases. But who knows? I'm not exactly hip with the youth these days, with their bath salts, Justin Beiber and cars with automatic transmissions and whatnot.

People are still surprised about no split screen?
I dont even expect Halo 5 too deliver it.
My wish is now that we can get lan support back its a must for a competitive game.

Halo 5 will without a doubt have split screen. It's a staple of the franchise.

Why would this have split screen? Judging from the videos, IQ is poor, I can hardly see at all.

This isnt about local splitscreen. cod's best feature is online splitscreen! Shame they axed that :/
I love you and I love what you're trying to do. Split screen should never die.

Split-screen is still a thing? The last time I've seen or played a split-screen game was Mario Kart on the Nintendo 64.

The only enjoyable experience I have ever had with split-screen was Goldeneye on the N64. I really don't care for it, and would usually only do local multiplayer where you game on the same screen, mainly sports games.

Dissapointing, but for some reason, local multiplayer wasn't even on my mind for this game.
I sure hope so. Halo has always been my go to splitscreen shooter when I have a large group of friends over.
And yet, Goldeneye 007, one of the most fondly remembered and beloved shooters of all time, had dat splitscreen as one of its biggest draws. (And its spiritual successor Perfect Dark.)
There was a reason for that. The mode might not be relevant to you, but it's relevant to a lot of people.
Well you sure are a sociable fellow.
Why is getting rid of split-screen a good thing to you? If you don't want to play split-screen why would it matter if the game did have split-screen?

Playing with split-screeners on your team can be a pain tbh. I still think it would be good for the option to be there though.

Ok theres two different arguments going on. One group is talking about split-screeners online.. Which is fucking terrible and glad that its not present here. The other side is talking about local multiplayer splitscreen....which really doesnt make sense because the game is an online multiplayer only.

Unfortunate truth. I wasn't expecting it to be split-screen anyways. It's always a nice surprise when a game includes it though
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
its okay guys, they're getting rid of all of the things people don't want, like microtransactions, single player, and split screen multiplayer. pretty soon they'll get rid of the game entirely when they shut the servers down in a few years.
they're really only making this game for one specific group of people. its sort of an anti-AAA game. you can call it an AAAA game

Having a blast with friends and the CoD Ghosts split screen.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
No split screen in such a game is really a shame
But there are still plenty of people who play split-screen in online games, so why should we want to ruin their fun? And Senjitsu's comment made it sound like he was saying it would be a good thing to get rid of split-screen multiplayer in all games, which is ridiculous; why would it matter to him if a game had that function?
