Spawn on each other, share experience and unlocks. This is huge.

 

[TimeEffect]

Instant purchase.

Had a passing interest, but now I can't deny it.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Share play redeemed?

 

[Compsiox]

Oh god. THE FPS! The Master Chief Collection couldn't do splitscreen in the anniversary maps without large drops in FPS. I find it hard to believe the Xbox One version will run at 60FPS splitscreen with those graphics.

 

[Remark]

In 2015!

Holy Shit D:

 

[joeyjoejoe]

Is it wrong that I'm concerned the graphics will be even worse on console because of this? Here's hoping for 'low quality' for split screen!

 

[nrvalleytime]

Instant purchase.

Had a passing interest, but now I can't deny it.

UPDATE: The game engine footage trailer awakens. Switch between first-person and third-person at will.

This is just as big for me.

cool assuming that means split screen local then as well? (if so day one)

 

[bananafactory]

WHAT!!??

Day 1

 

[Jb]

Yeah, really didn't expect it. That's a first for a Battlefield game right?

 

[Permanently A]

No ways its 60 fps though right? still really cool news

 

[ALM5252]

Now I plan on buying the game. Loved Battlefront II.

 

[trixx]

Finally a confirmation.
One of the best things about battlefront games was split-screen. Makes this game much more appealing now.

 

[Dictator93]

I hope they do not forget split screen on PC. This is the 21st century after all.

Nani? *melts*

 

[JNT]

Sweet. More FPS games should do this.

 

[OnionPowder]

Probably 30FPS in splitscreen

 

[Rodney McKay]

PC version too?

*fingers crossed*

 

[delSai]

This is so amazing. More big games need splitscreen.

 

[Palette Swap]

Pretty awesome. Made me more interested in the game TBH.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

#GameChanger

Will buy for sure.

 

[Vidpixel]

Yeah, this is great news. I'm curious as to what concessions will be made to help the performance, though. Probably will drop the game to 30 fps, right?

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Niiiiice.

 

[Auctopus]

Split Screen/60fps and the game 'looks like that'.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

PC version too?

*fingers crossed*

Hope so, see no reason why not.

 

[PulseONE]

Well that decides it. I'm buying it.

Edit: Doubly so if it lets one person split screen on the Vita

 

[QuantumZebra]

Mother of God...

I...


fuck yes

 

[TheXbox]

Everything I hear about the gameplay sounds totally on-point. It's way closer to traditional Battlefront than I would have ever imagined. Now if they could actually show some of it, that would be swell.

Spoiler

and tell me there are more maps :/

 

[FullMetaltech]

So splitscreen if online only like PVZ or can it be offline?

 

[Crossing Eden]

Oh my god yes!

 

[Beaulieu]

Article seems to say split screen is possible for coop missions but I dont know if it will be there for the online play.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Fantastic, I doubt the visual quality will resemble anything we've seen thus far but I don't doubt it'll be brilliant.

 

[Broritos]

Is this secretly a Nintendo game?

 

[TheCarrotKiller]

This is all I want! Argh, November can't come soon enough.

 

[GalacticMouse]

It'll be really awesome if this works with SharePlay. Given the exclusive marketing deal, I wouldn't be shocked if Sony negotiated it into the deal.

'Spawning on each other' and sharing unlocks implies it's for the proper online modes.

 

[The Last One]

Best news about the game so far. That's great!

 

[Xav]

This is huge.

It is?

I'm pretty sure Halo 3 did 4-player split-screen back in 2007.

 

[haikira]

Really happy about this. What's next, we'll even start getting split screen back in our racing games?

 

[Creaking]

And from DICE too. I don't recall the last DICE game with split-screen. I hope the framerate can keep. Don't mind if graphics/resolution have to take a hit.

I'm just glad to see a new FPS (/TPS) that is featuring split-screen. 4 player would be even better, but this is a start.

 

[Jibbed]

It is?

I'm pretty sure Halo 3 did 4-player split-screen back in 2007.

For this gen where it's almost a given SS will be overlooked, yeah it is.

Split-screen was a huge part of what made the first 2 games so much fun, too.

 

[Elixist]

i look forward to killing people that have worse iq, fov, framerate and netcode than me.

 

[VanWinkle]

That's fantastic.

 

[Creaking]

It is?

I'm pretty sure Halo 3 did 4-player split-screen back in 2007.

And now Halo 5 is reducing the split-screen count to 2. Like Call of Duty Ghosts and Advanced Warfare before it.

In an age where split-screen in big titles is either nonexistent or constantly shrinking, this is a pretty big deal.

 

[Vidpixel]

It is?

I'm pretty sure Halo 3 did 4-player split-screen back in 2007.

Yeah, but pretty much no one does split-screen nowadays besides Call of Duty.

 

[enzo_gt]

Splitscreen support in this age is damn near an instant purchase.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

This is nice. I am taking my nephews to see the new movie at the midnight showing and I was going to let them play Battlefront leading up to it. Now they can both play at the same time.

 

[bombshell]

cool assuming that means split screen local then as well? (if so day one)

The "campaign" missions can be played split-screen as well.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

FUCK YES.


LONG LIVE SPLIT SCREEN MP

 

[PeterVenkman]

Now this is good news. Thank goodness! Don't leave that off PC
