Why I Still Want Local Multiplayer

Layton Shumway: To me, the word "multiplayer" still means getting a group of people together on the couch to talk trash and have a good time. But these days we often swap the couch for a headset. And in my opinion, that's a shame.

You're in luck....Halo: reach still has it!!!!

Sadie21005116d ago

I actually played some 4P splitscreen the other day. Amazing in this day and age. But most of the time, I was resentful I didn't get all 65" of my HDTV to myself. :)

BX815116d ago

LMAO! I feel you on that! I have 32 viewsonic. It looks great but for the past couple of months I've been playing on my 22 vizio ! When I went back to my 32 it was a huge difference. I play split screen halo with my wife and it's crazy how the amount of screen makes a difference~

despair5116d ago

I don't think I can go back to anything below 50" anymore, I can't believe I played Starfox 64 and Mario Kart 64 four player split screen on a 19" sharp tv. How times have changed.

peowpeow5116d ago

I have an ancient 14" next to my PC for some quick xbox live gaming. I don't mind small screens :)

Shoko5116d ago

There's only one feature I can think of that Halo Reach doesn't have

And that's bots. Splitscreen is slowly dying, but bots have been even deader....if that's a word.

I agree with this author completely. Obviously this guy has friends, and knows what its like to be a social gamer. I am a hardcore social gamers. And although I love Xbox Live and PSN, nothing is better than playing with friends. Even if you have to make sacrifices like playing 4 player split screen, its still worth it. There's just something about being with live people that makes gaming a lot more fun.

Me and two friends playing a 100 man brawl on SSBB = pure bliss.

rod_furlong5116d ago

It's sad but pretty much the only games I want to play locally anymore are sports games.

SexyPrawns5116d ago

Agreed! I love local multi-player!

Twisted Metal is gonna have it! ^_^

Maybe it is time to just let Goldeneye go. People keep e-begging for this game and it came back in various iterations; remastered and original and in the end it was just meh. The game was a product of its time like Perfect Dark and Timesplitters.

Father__Merrin197d ago

It's from a bygone era that was good at the time but is pants now. Same with turok.

NotoriousWhiz197d ago

Whoa whoa whoa. Turok still holds up great.

YourMommySpoils197d ago

Isn't that like considering every other game too.

P_Bomb197d ago

When in doubt, port it out.

jznrpg197d ago

The game was a lot of fun for its time but damn that was a long time ago.

anast197d ago

There are better shooters now and better worlds.
