well first Resistance 2...the splitscreen is just crap cuz the screen is too small even on my huge lcd tv

second we have COD WAW...the zombie splitscreen is a joke...it takes up probably half the screen 

i dunno why they even bother putting it in there if its gonna suck this it does

My perfect split-screen is Vertical ..

I enjoy games with vertical split-screen only .. horizontal takes away from the game itself ..

racing games with horizontal split is ok with me. but i gotta agree 100% about vertical being the best for other games (particularly shooters). i read somewhere that the reason there is a cropped, horizontal split for R2... is because it provides the same viewport for players with widescreen tvs and players with standard tvs. i hope that makes sense. what doesnt make sense though, is even in an offline split-screen game in R2... we still get the cropped horizontal split. which sucks.

I didn't raise this issue regarding R2 Split-Screen but was aware of it. It's quite lazy that the developers didn't take time to produce a decent horizontal view or even include the vertical view.

Horizontal is good for racing games and I would also prefer it for Warhawk too or at least make the third player take up the rest of the empty space instead of making it equal to the other players.

I can't stand vertical splitscreen.  Resistance: FoM, R6:Vegas and R6:Vegas 2 all had vertical splits and they pretty much ruined the game for me by limiting your peripheral vision. Having tunnel-vision hardly seems like a better alternative to having a proper perspective--that happens to have black bars on the sides of the screen. 

Clearly, not everyone agrees on this, and that's why developers should give players a choice. Vertical or Horizontal, with another option for black bars or stretch. being able to choose would make (almost) everybody happy.

I was afraid I was the only one, totally agree with you dude.
