Default Why Didn't they make COD 4 split screen?

Gahh!!! Does anyone know why they didn't make COD 4 split screen.. mainly for online play and for 2 player campaign co-op?

I don't understand why they wouldn't???

The real questions you should be asking are:
Why is the campaign only 5 hours? Why do the the enemies constantly respawn? Why is 50% of the game scripted so you just have to watch the game play itself? It's called lazy development people!

It doesn't really suck but those are some issues with the game that annoyed me. I just like to hear the COD fanboys defend their game du jour

online splitscreen would be fun...as long as it's better then the online cod3 splitscreen that had all the words going through the middle of your screen so you couldn't see what you were trying to shoot.

local splitscreen is fun, though.

If COD4 had splitscreen or online co-op, I'd play the campaign. Otherwise, no thanks.

If they wanted to, do you guys think it would be an easy upgrade for infinity to create? (Downloadable upgrade)

i don't know about splitscreen, not too bothered about it, but i'd like them to release downloadable co-op but i can't see them doing it becuase it would be huge and probably take up most of my hard drive

It would be a lot of work for Infinity Ward with zero return.

I was pissed about the split screen issue too. You can do it on local versus mode but why not online?! Although the campaign was short, it was very fun to play. But **** vet mode! Heat, No fighting in the war room, and all that ****! lol.

tether your controller to your wrist so you don't throw it after your 153 time at trying to beat a level on veteran.

IDK 7 million people ... 800MP or $10 DLC = $70,000,000. Estimate a 25% cut and you're looking at 17.5 million directly in Infinity Ward's pocket. Obviously not everyone will DL the additional content but even half the number at the same DLC price is $35,000,000. I think it merits some thought to say the very least.

yeah but wouldn't they have to give it to everybody? would a co-op feature work if some people had it and some didn't? if so then i'd definately pay 800pts for it, i love co-op, much more fun that team sharpshooter etc
