Whatever happened to good shooter games that allow 4-player split-screen?

I have come to find that there aren't many now a-days and that most of the good shooter games out only allow 2 people on multiplayer offline.

Are you serious? 4 player split screen was not an attribute, it was a temporary solution until we could play online as PC's allowed remember?C'mon man...pppsshhh.

That basically went out with the last generation of systems...it's too bad, too. I liked playing with my friends in the room and now you're basically forced online with a ton of other people (usually rude) if you want to play.

Uhh......Earth defense force.....but I only recommend that if you seriously dont have anything else at all to do. But Pefect Dark has 4-player split-screen. It's a decent game and you might have some fun with it. Sadly I can't think of any mroe options......

splitscreen multiplayer is the best, i have way more fun playing james bond nightfire or timesplitters 1 with me cousins on splitscreen than i do playing stangers on gears over x-box live, and thats why perfect dark zero is cool, cause the offlinee is pretty fun and its for the 360 so it also has ok online...but they need better ones than pdz

I understand people like them, but online co-op is where it's at, and in comparison split screen blows. This isn't for this board BTW.

Yea I miss the good old times on the N64 playing 4 players with my friend espacially games like 007 James Bond, Mario Party and Super Smash bros. It was fun back in the days. Online is good too but playing with you friends in one room jus is a different and better experience. Eating Pizza and dirnking pop while everyone is tensed in the action. Ugh I miss the good old 4 player split screen days:(.

Fusion Frenzy 2 lol just kidding, 4 player split screen has not always been a good thing ( racers sucked at it, even mario kart) FPS had some great times but developers need some time to get their games 4 players split screen compatible and to be honest just a few people will use that feature ( i'm thinking around 10%maybe less)

Online play can be cool, but devs are forgetting that we might actually know people in our real lives, that know our real names and where we live. People that might come over to our homes and end up physically in the same room as us. I know, right?! Crazy, but true!

ya thats another thing...BOTS are awsome and when you compare halo to timesplitters (only in offline mulltiplayer) its kinda boring to play halo unless its a system link cause just 4 people is kinda boring after a few games.

I would always play 4 player split screen on in Call of duty 2 on my friends 360 with him, his brother, and my other friend. It was great and still is, but now that we all have 360s and online, we kind of stopped playing it with eachother and just played online. Not saying thats bad, but there was something about playing split screen that was more fun.

I also enjoyed Timesplitters for its support of splitscreen and especially, the BOTS. IMO, bots should be in every game. That is the main reason i enjoyed timesplitters so damb much!
