I'm not getting it.

They removed split screen offline multiplayer, which is how I played COD4 more than half the time. What were they thinking? Did Activision really think that would be Okay for Treyarch to cut corners and eliminate this? And no, it probably won't get patched.

Disappointed.

I checked multiple sources, just to make sure.

Also, I read on Wikipedia that the Wii version will have offline split screen, but the others won't. I guess Nintendo told them how it's going to be.

Why is this game coming out on last generation systems? Does this mean that it will be graphically inferior to COD4 even though they are built on the same engine? Even COD2 wasn't released on last gen systems, just PC and 360. Instead, the original xbox/ps2/gamecube got Big Red One.

Splitscreen? I thought that went out years ago. I personally cant stand the thought of playing splitscreen on any game.

Heaps of games are still coming out for the PS2. It obviously wont effect the Current Gen versions, just the older ones.

whattt? the only reason i was buying it was for split screen. There are hardly any good fps for the PS3 with split screen. Now I'm annoyed. May have to cancel my pre-order:evil:

Then you must not have many friends come over to your place... I do admit that 4 player SS deathmatch is old, but online splitscreen like in Halo 3 or R2 is great stuff

Co-Op Campaign Mode:"No One Fights Alone" takes on new meaning as players can complete the entire single player campaign with up to four players online or two players via split-screen (both online and offline). Strategising with others provides gameplay diversity, replayability and engagement. Complete unique co-op challenges to earn rewards and bragging rights. The title takes the perks, rankings and online stats that players love in multiplayer and builds them into the cooperative campaign as well, adding even more variety, replayability and continuous fun.

just found this fromhttp://www.game.co.uk/PS3/Action/FirstPersonShooter/~r335460/Call-of-Duty-World-at-War/

I'm getting mixed information from different sites. this is confusing.

Does anyone defiantly know that it's one way or the other?

The number of people who won't buy this game because of offline split screen is probably insignificant

i hope it has some splitscreen....i've been gaming a long time and I really loathe this online-only multiplayer form these days. I miss the good ol' days. That's why i loved Castle Crashers. I like to play with friends...on my couch...socializing...not online with people i don't know or with friends who i'd rather hang with in real life. It's just kind of sad really.

All of the sources I checked claim that the wii version is the only one with split screen multiplayer.

Baically, this game has:

-4 player online multiplayer

-2 player split screen Co-op

And I was wrong about the wii version, it actually has no splitscreen what-so-ever, but a friend can use a wii mote to help you out or something...

I just can't see how they took out a simple feature like split screen. I'll continue to play COD4, and hope that Infinity Ward does something about it next time around.

Apparantly there is online Split screen, but only 2 player co-op offline

An xbox site says there is 4-player versus, only through system link. I think that is confusing people the most...

I think I worded that wrong. It's 2 player offline split screen co-op, or 4-player multiplayer vs online. I'm pretty sure there is no split screen online if there isn't split screen offline.

Because I find it fun to have friends over to play games with in the same room. Online is fun too but sometimes you just want to play the person sitting next to you.
