Backwards compatible Xbox games- no splitscreen?

So I just got Splinter Cell Double Agent for the original Xbox cuz I heard it was better than the 360 version. I boot it up on my 360 and try to play splitscreen co-op, but that option is blacked out. The only other options are Xbox live (which for original xbox games doesn't work anymore) and system link. Anyone know why they removed co-op from backwards compatible games? Or is there still a way to make it work?

some games are missing features that were seen on an original. heres a list of BC games. the glitches and missing content are said next to the titles
