[QUOTE="XaosII"]I dont really see it all that difficult, especially for a game like Gears of War, to detect multiple USb controllers and use that as each player's input.
Or even better, do what Supreme Commander does that can detect multiple monitors, and each monitor can be a person playing (or split two per monitor so up to 4 players can play in two monitors in a much larger viewing regeion that can be done on a console).

Oh really? Youre a game programmer? If it were feasible, theyd probably do it. But its probably too difficult (see the long explanation post above) and it wouldnt be often used. 2x mouse/keyboard would be very hard, and would require lots of physical space, and how many people would have 2 pc controllers spare just for playing co-op games like this? Playing it via lan is fine, and preferable for most people.
Settlers 2 was split screen co-op :)
That was awhile ago... But a split screen fps on pc would be alittle more difficult.
