I'm probably not going buy it. But that sounds great :)

It's baffling (and annoying) how rare local splitscreen has become this gen. Do people not have real friends anymore or something?

And yet the top selling FPS (and TPS counting Gears) still have split-screen, don't they?

I would also say that's also a major reason Red Steel 2 hasn't sold as well as the first game (and I own 2, but not one).

Oh, I agree, especially on RS2.

I meant that it sadly doesn't seem standard any more like it used to be; so many games that should have it don't; all Wii COD games so far, The Conduit, Killzone 2...

Yet Conduit 2 will have split-screen, since HVS talked to fans and customers, and that was something they said the game lacked. Plus apparently Treyarch said they wanted that in MWR, but it wasn't ready by the time the game was due.

It's good to know that people still want it, and that devs like Treyarch and HVS are aware of this, my point was many other devs don't seem to acknowledge this enough; it should have equal priority to online multiplayer in my opinion.

Okay, I gotta write that article I've been planning, which covers why this happens. In a nutshell, many developers/reviewers/enthusiasts think features like that don't sell games, and think other things do. And it's not just when it comes to the Wii. Look at how many series have inflated costs and development times this gen, and how few are selling significantly better this gen to justify those.

Hmmm, by how much? Hopefully this version will have the same levels and online features like the other ones.

they're bringing back dedicated servers from what I read

Just like they said: They're not bringing it back or something. MW2 wasn't their game. WaW had it and they'll just continue from there.
