Bitsofjoy argues: "Gone are the days of 4 drunken friends crowding around a telly playing Goldeneye deathmatches talking trash in all directions – developed from years of cumulative banter, in favour of 64 player team deathmatches comprising of individuals from around the world pwning the avatars of strangers."
Old skool multiplayer is dead.
Long live new multiplayer?
I always have the best times when I'm playing splitscreen. Online gaming just feels so...aloof.
Say that to Halo:Reach, GeoW3, and KZ3.
Truely my PS3 gets neglected sometimes merely for the lack of split screen for their games. Really it is a major contributor for their lack of sales when compared year in year to the PS2. I can usually only play 360 or Wii games with my friends resulting in them buying one of those consoles instead of the PS3. Split Screen and Co-op is what you call free advertising
