I think the belief of guys making FPS is that EVERYONE is going to play over the Internet, so why bother adding bots to the game, because people can find others to play online. They even got rid of split-screen early on. They didn't see it led to sales, so they didn't have them. So, it is the Internet that made these casualties. I ran into this being an issue when I was staying somewhere and had people over where I was and we were trying to do FPS action, and people weren't skilled. Having the ability to do 4 player split screen cooperative would of been VERY good. Thing about people local and split screen is you know these people, and are FAR more likely to be real friends than what you get online. Unless you met someone in person, hard to count them a real friend, no matter how much Microsoft pushes Live. In person, you get better quality communications also. With online play, people think of people on the other side as bots, and not personal. In real life nowhere near the same level of junk would be said.
