Isn't one of the main reasons Halo is so popular due to the split screen?  That on top of LAN is needed for The Conduit to be used like Halo, and the game is lacking split-screen.  At least, whenever I've seen Halo LANs split screen is always used, since a TV for every single person is just too much.

It's too bad, since The Conduit does look like a game that can be a party favorite (more so than the other FPS on Wii at least).

I don't use lan, not a deal breaker for me. But no split-screen probably is.

Am I missing something? Didn't they announced in the last two weeks that there is split screen, as well as LAN?

Or did I misread on the recent updates?

i don't know about LAN, but i enjoy shooters way more on Wii than the Ps3!!!

So a standard feature for the 360 and PS3 that's been available also on previous generation will determine if the Wii becomes the "Core" console?

Kinda lame no?

Overall if nintendo supports it enough, maybe with some bundles, and advertising. It could become the defining Shooter on the Wii. It wont be Halo Killer, or any near it's size. But it could be big

The Conduit- Splitscreen and LAN play 100% confirmed

"We're not ready to officially announce anything, but things are in the works. Look for the word in the coming month. We're going to ship with a full single player campaign and both offline and online multiplayer. We're also working with Nintendo now on getting LAN play working [via system link]." - Rob Nicholls, the game's designer.

Notice how he said Offline and Online AND ALSO LAN, meaning that the offline multiplayer is splitscreen. So far, the features confirmed are: 16+ Online Multiplayer, Voice Chat, Macthmaking, Customaizable : turning speed, cursor sensitivty, dead zone size, and running speed, Movable HUDS, 17 weapons +variants, 3 grenade types, LAN play, and splitscreen. Keep in mind that the game is still in it's early Alpha.

Wii fans will say it is regardless of the truth of the statement.

LAN games are pretty rare in the UK , maybe used in competiton not for the average person. What's the point of LAN when you have online play anyway ?

If a PS3 fan would have said this with [insert game] i'm sure she'd/he'd have got flamed to hell and back.
