Will Battlefront have online splitscreen?

Goddamnet. I'm really sick of this. What would be the reasoning for not offering splitscreen online?

It's 100% because it runs at 30fps when at split screen so that would give split screen users a disadvantage against 60fps players.

No that's probably less than 10% of it...

This is Battlefront, not a competetive esports game. Plus halving the screen space and doubling the upload bandwith have far worse competetive drawbacks than 30fps here.

 

It's missing because Dice/EA didn't think it was worth the effort. Splitscreen was added to the offline mode so that they could attract more offline players to buy the game. Patching it into the other modes is possible, but it'd be a lot of work. I doubt they'd bother unless there was a large backlash.
