Okay so the first killzone was one of my favorite games mainly because my friend and I would just mess around playing splitscreen where we would pit just the two of us against a gang of Helgast, so why is this feature or something like it not in Killzone 2. I love the online, don't get me wrong, but im just kind of bummed I can't play this game splitscreen with a bud of mine. I can't even add bots to an online match becuase the patched that option out

It might be because the PS3 needs to render the game twice if it's split screen.  This is why L4D only supports 2player split screen, the 360 can't render the game 4 times. 

KZ2 is the best looking game this generation, so I figure the PS3 can't render it twice.

Splitscreen is pretty much dead nowadays.

That's a frakkin' fallacy. People still find enjoyment in split-screen and you know it."

Wow, Lashe, your Scottish wit amazes me.

Unless you weren't being sarcastic. I know a lot of people who still have LAN parties and dick around with some split-screen while getting messed up.

I wasn't being sarcastic =P

Genuinely, every house party I go to has some console hooked up with the likes of Halo or old school TimeSplitters going on.

i agree, the fact that there is no split screen really made mad, and for the same reason.  For me it changes the game from a 10/10 to a 9/10.

They want your friend to buy his own PS3 and copy of killzone.

Because PS3 owners don't have real life friends, don't be silly.

Yea, its extremely sad that the days of splitscreen are almost over. Keep your fingers crossed for Modern Warfare 2.

GG said it was because KZ2 is too demanding of the PS3 and they could not manage to run it split-screen, so it was scrapped.  If you want to play with friends you'll have to do it online.

I think because most people don't use split screen any more so they didn't add it. It kind of takes away from the game if you ask me.

Developers don't seem to care about spilt-screen these days. Its all about the online experience. Sad, I know.

I really don't understand why devs are deciding not to include splitscreen in games anymore. I'm always round my mates playing the PS3, but fewer games are allowing us to play together. Taking turns isn't fun at all. Having guests online definitely needs to return.

thats not true,  I play with my friend plenty.

I love split-screen... but there's been a larger focus on graphics now.

consoles are going to pc

Skirmish mode would have been awesome splitscreen. Its not to late to make a patch. EPIC just did it with the PS3 version of Unreal Tournament 3. Not to late Guerrilla.

My only problem with it was the lack of co-op. It would have been nice to play with a friend in single player campaign for replayability.

Making Splitscreen/Co-Op a part of a game like Killzone 2 and CoD 4 brings a lot of problems with it. Because the game is so action driven and there are lots things happening around you, it would be extremely difficult to make a game like this when there are 2 players, whose actions the developers can't predict. For example. Let's say you and your friend are playing KZ2 Co-Op. And because KZ2 is linear FPS-game, there are "trigger-points" which trigger the next event, for example soldiers running through doors. So you and your friend are playing it. You decide to run through the trigger-points while your friend stays at the very beginning of the level. Should the game trigger the next event? Or would it require both of you to go through the point? In a game where things blow up and you have to be at specific point at the right time. So by this, it would require both of you to go through the point to trigger the next event. But what happens if just one of you does? Can the player go straight to the next cutscene without encountering any enemies? What if one of the players go first. Goes behind enemy lines while the other player triggers the events?

s0liddante said that for him it changes the game from 10/10 to 9/10...have ever thought that Killzone 2 might suck because of the Splitscreen/Co-Op?
