MW2 Split Screen Online

4853 Views 20 Posts Xbox Software
Hey Guys,
Im just wondering if Infinity Ward has any plans to release a patch to allow Split Screen Online Play? - Such as in Halo 3. So that you can have two players online on the one console. This has been the one thing bugging me about the game.
I would say the chance would be about 1%.

as far as i know, halo3 (and ODST) have been the last 2 games that do that - to my knowledge no FPS has done that since....

it is a shame, cos there is nothing more fun than having 3 mates over for 4 way split screen and then going on xbox live....
Hey they can't even release a patch for the lag, so unless they can make moeny off it I really doubt it.

Yeah true, its so much fun on Halo! But 4 way live on Mw2 would be Amazing!
Oh well, i guess ill stick to ODST when friends are over. Cheers guys
They actually did it in CoD 3.

yeah i think the main reason behind not having it in mw2 is the graphics. Because the graphics are so good these days i guess split screen online with amazing graphics is just too much for an xbox to handle
i think they do i so that they can sell more copies of a game, if you want to play with your mates, you've each gotta have your own copy - NO SHARING ALLOWED!

you can split screen in spec ops right? so there shouldn't be any reason reason that they can't do it with online
Well, CoD 3 had two types of matches; Player & Ranked. In ranked matches, you could only play on your own, as your points/xp went towards you account/gamertag. In Player, you were able to play with up to 4 people per xbox, as the points/xp were discarded at the end of the game.

Yeah you would think so? But im sure they must have a decent reason cause im sure they would have included it if it were possible.
Hopefully they're working on it

do any other FPS games allow multiplayer with 4 per console?
im having a bunch of mates over in 2 weeks and we will have 2 360s setup but at this stage planning on sticking to Halo 3 and FIFA. Is it purely down to the processing power of the 360 and not being able to handle more than 1 per console on games like MW2?

Doubt it, games can only push the limit of a console's potential, not actually take up processing power. I think it's more of an issue that MW2 is always ranked online and thus reinforces cheating, unlike Halo which has a social playlists for guests. Can you imagine playing Search and Destroy splitscreen?

Well you can do 4 player split-screen offline on the console with MW: 2 so its not a processing limit issue. Just lazyness and the need to sell more than 1 copy per 4 players is more likely the reason me thinks.

Your only other shooter (that I know of) that is split-screen online is ODST as Sphynx pointed out.
Gears of war 2 allows for split screening also online i believe.
yeah, i think we will just have to stick with Halo 3 for FPS. Does ODST require all players to have a Gold account also? i'm pretty sure GOW2 does as we have tried it in the past. I am thinking about investing in 10 or so 48hr codes but not really worth it just to play 1 extra game like GOW1/2.

System link all the way!
For gow2 you can also sign in as a guest, on the menu get the second controller to press Y
can you do that over XBL though?
