isn't killzone getting a patch to make the split-screen mode possible?
anyway ,if u want splitscreen u have other games for that

Yes i believe KZ2 is getting a patch and how can anyone really make comments on a game they have yet to play?

I'll buy The Conduit, but i wont play it in multiplayer. Im too bad... that's why i dont care the frame rate in this game.

I used to love split screen in Goldeneye, but that was only because back then we didn't have console gaming online.

Now in these days when I have the World at my fingertips in terms of online play I do not care at all for it. I no longer enjoy having my screen cut in half, not only do I find it harder to see what I am doing, but it also lets my opponents see where I am and what I am doing. That is a no-no for me when playing shooters.

What fun is there in playing a sniper when your opponents can just look at your screen and see where you are perched?

Guerilla has been very clear that it is not possible to implement split screen for Killzone 2.  It has nothing to do with the framerate.  As a side note, you are cherry-picking some excellent work by Digital Foundry to insinuate that Killzone 2 has frame rate issues.  The issues found in Killzone are no different than the frame issues found in Gears of War 2 or any other next-gen shooters.

To answer your question, I would rather have them as they are without splitscreen.  I don't enjoy playing anything, except for MK, in splitscreen.  The L4D and COD5 staggered splitscreen implementations suck, and Resistance 2 resized the aspect ratio. 

 -- "Currently there are no plans for co-op in Killzone 2, technically it would be quite difficult to implement it for the story mode as for example the mission sections are loaded in seamlessly – no loading screens , and that would cause issues with teleporting players. Even without co-op it’s still a big game and gamers will have plenty to sink their teeth into."

Not all shooting games need split screen to be good....look at battlefield BC....no splitscreen still loads of fun....Half life 2 still loads of fun...

I dont think this game wouldve got as much as hype as it did if it didnt have pretty graphics.....the splitscreen is a LOST but not a miss.....

oh and Gears of war frame rate dropsss sooooo low when it loads....omg....so yea picking at kz2 and conduit isnt fair when games alike that massively popular....suffer the same thing

I think many of you are underestimating the importance of online splitscreen... In MK:Wii online, I often see around one third of people playing in splitscreen (they appear as Guest).

Comparisons with Team Fortress 2 or other PC games will get us nowhere. Obviously those games don't have splitscreen...

@dbot: Let's not drag this thread into a KZ2 framerates debate. I don't care and that's not the point of the thread, neither is co-op.

(double posting since I hit the length limit on my phone)

As for the argument that splitscreen in FPS games isn't good due to your fellow player seeing where you are, that's only an issue if you're playing deathmatch or on different teams. In the opposite case it's an advantage instead.

That is your opinion, in my opinion I think you are overstimating the importance of online splitscreen, especially with online shooter fans.

Take my example given before. When it comes to shooters, what advantage does splitscreen give? In my experience it only hurts your game.

A game like Mario Kart is different, you are supposed to know where you opponent is at all times, that is why you are given a map with every racer's location displayed on it, in no way can split-screen hurt a players experience.

In a shooter it can easily be the opposite. If a sniper is perched on a rooftop, or in a tree, under debris, etc... it SERIOUSLY hurts that players game when another can just glance at the other half of the screen and be like "Alright, now I know where he is. I'll sneak up from behind". As a sniper I thought the point was for the others to NOT know where you are?

You make it sound like split-screen is important for everyone when in reality that is far from the truth.

So then your argument is basically that KZ2 is hurt because of not having offline/online splitscreen co-op?

Because as I said, when it comes to online beyond the co-op experience, splitscreen does nothing for the player.

That argument I can understand I guess. I just hate having my screen split, I couldn't even do it with Resistance when I first got it. I like having an entire screen to myself.
