These days it's more surprising when there is splitscreen, sadly.
This, every time a shooter comes out you see the "but does it have splitscreen!" i mean you guys do know you're the minority for a long time now right?
what does it have to do with online?

Could've guessed that.
If they are having a hard time already at 720p with 60 frames with less than impressive graphics, no way they would have split screen.

What? Can the system not handle it?

I have a feeling that this game is better suited for a free to play model.

Save us Halo!!! It's so fucking stupid that games can't come with a split screen. It's not ideal but when friends are over it's a blast.
People that have friends locally and don't want to take turns playing alone.

Say what you want about CoD, but I am glad that split screen is still supported in that series.

The gamers, who don't game online? Which happen to outnumber the number of online gamers?
Anyway, I don't think this is really going to disappoint the audience that's already hyped for the game.
Lol, I would love to see any kind of source for this tale from your ass.

Most of my splitscreen experiences last gen were horrible. Small boxed sections of the screen in Resident Evil 5 and World at War. Halved FPS in Wipeout HD. This doesn't affect me or my excitement in the slightest.
Still sucks that the option isn't there for those who use it. Online-only is not a valid excuse, as there are games you can play splitscreen online.

Not enough people for it to really matter.
You can only play TitanFall online so this audience isn't even a concern.

Good news guys, Goldeneye still has it.
Can't think of ever wanting to play split-screen again.

I find that pretty hard to believe, at least in a first world country.

Totally next-gen.
Split-screen is great for novelty factor, which is really the basis of good local multiplayer games. Goldeneye still has one of the best multiplayer experiences assuming everyone playing are around the same skill level.
For games like Titanfall, I can't imagine it being fun at all. Goldeneye had tons of bad game design that ended up working somehow.
Well at least in this regard this makes no difference to those folks who game offline. Game isn't offline to begin with.

This.
I'm more surprised when I see a game that has split screen. The last game I played that had split screen was Lego Marvel and it was okay. Before playing that, the last game I played with split screen was... Motorstorm Apocalypse and rarely played it. Split screen was more of a thing I loved with N64 (goldeneye, Mario Kart) and used on the Wii (Mario Kart again). As games have progressed and become more of a graphical feast (and a complex online experience), split screen becomes more and more unrealistic/ necessity. For kart racing titles (and a few other games), I can see the benefit of dual screens but for hectic games like Titanfall, it' seem like it would be more of a burden and just not work.

If you don't believe me, add up the number of gold members and PS+ users and divide by the combined install base. Shoot, MS boasts what 48million Live users, which also includes silver? Last time I checked the gold to silver ratio is about 1:1. So we're looking at less than a third of Xbox users being online gamers.
Is that number rapidly increasing? Yes. But it's really annoying to see people continue to throw around these false notions that online gaming is bigger than offline gaming yet.
Yep. Not bummed out about the news but can completely understand why others would be.
Local co-op for Titanfall would probably be a blast.

It used to be 4 per screen, but Ghosts brought it down to 2.

Local MP is a dying feature. The advent of online gaming more or less killed it.
But at least there's always SSB.

Same and I truly believe it's a great way to get a friend to buy it. He comes over you guys have a blast playing split screen, he goes home and buys it.
Some people like to play games with friends in person and want to be able to play with them without everyone being forced to own the game and console.

Everyone seems to think this game is the next best thing, but based on what? 25 mins play time? We know nothing about the content (or lack of it from what I can tell). So far, based on what we do know, there is no way this game is worth £50 in the UK. I hope EA/Respawn prove me wrong, but when I asked them direct after answering a previous question they went surprisingly quiet.
What my advise would be is to wait and see, rather than building this up as the next big thing (which all sounds like desperation that it is, rather than being sure about the fact).
