Although the classic Call of Duty games were thoroughly enjoyed casually, things have gotten a lot more competitive with the inclusion of skill-based matchmaking into recent titles. Even so, many players play the game in person with friends to have fun. This raises the question if the new Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2, allows players to play split screen.
Does Modern Warfare 2 Have Player Split Screen
Fortunately, Modern Warfare 2 allows players to enjoy playing the game with Split Screen when on the same console. The only problem is that you won’t be able to play public matches; you can only play private multiplayer matches when going Split Screen. Furthermore, MW2 only allows two players to play together with Split Screen, unlike previous COD games that allowed up to four.
