I don't know why people are complaining about the lack of split screen. The days of FPS split screen are coming to an end and for good reason. What you see (or can't see) impacts your game experience.
Split screen...
- cuts you viewable area in half (or fourths)
- distorts the screen ratio
- decreases screen resolution
- decreases frame rate
People should not be upset that their experience is being protected.

The point of split screen is not because someone is too cheap to buy there own system. Yes online multiplayer is great, but there is something about playing a game with someone in the same room that makes multiplayer games so much fun. Why do you think ea sport games sell so well? It's just the atmosphere of it. That's why people want it.
