Sure some FPS fans don't mind playing over the internet but every single CoD fan I know plays local mutliplayer. I've been to countless LAN parties back when COD4 came out playing COD4 on multiple TV's. I have gone to even more parties where we play four player on the screen. Heck not even parties I have friends over and go to friends houses just to play four player. Then their is co-op, sure it wasn't the biggest selling feature for MW2 because campaign couldn't be played co-op. But for Halo as an example gamers want to play together online or off. I know that one of the huge draws for Halo everyone coming together to get all the acheivments and conquer the game. Without these two things EA is lagging behind big time. Their choice to go graphics over gameplay is what is costing them the generation. Split screen is a nescessity to many gamers whether it be co-op or multiplayer. Either way EA is ignoring a huge chunk of the market. |
This is true. I doubt splitcreen would work because of the large maps aren't made for 4 players or less.
