lately when a big shooter comes out such as killzone 2 or battlefield bad company there has been no split screen for player vs player  mode and i have really been missing it
 to play against one of my friends i have to go online and do it like that

I think Haze is split-screen, whether its good split-screen I dont know though. And I just read that UT3 was patched just now for split screen multiplayer and tropies (was part of the Titan Pack but the extra content is delayed).

CoD4 and WaW had split screen, but didn't allow custom classes, and therefore, pretty much sucked.

It didnt at released but they made the "Titan Pack" that adds some maps, a new game type and a mutator that lets you earn points to become a giant charter (with regenerating ammo and more health but cant use vehicles or flags). Split Screen and tropies were part of that but they delayed it and (thankfully for PS3 UT3 players) put out the most important part of it early as a patch. And as far as I know the Titan pack is free on PS3, it was on PC at least just shipped as a big patch.

Go rock it old school!

Anything that stops your spending more money on games and therefore keeps the economy in the toilet ;)

When ever my family gets together we play primarily COD, Halo or GRAW because they offer split screen.  I understand why developers don't want to pursue it as a game play option, but I still miss it.  I didn't know they added split screen to UT3 for the PS3, but if they did, it means the game is a keeper now for my needs.  Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 is supposed to have local coop as well.  Far Cry Instincts: Predator for the 360 had split screen, but Far Cry 2 doesn't.  Perfect Dark Zero also had split screen, if you want to go back that far.

One of the reasons I pay for a cable internet connection is so that I can have the screen all to myself. The last split screen FPS I played was Goldeneye on the N64, and while it was fun, it was totally cheep the way you could almost 'cheet' and look at the other persons screen to find out where they were. Even in co-op, splitting the screen on my 21 inch TV also cuts the fun in half. Maybe it would be different on a 60 inch widescreen.
