I would have prefered to have splitscreen multiplayer. I love playing online with a friend

jwk945380d ago

Yeah it does, he likes playing with his local friends, on the same console, online.

dark-hollow5380d ago

He can't believe "with my friend" part.

Hufandpuf5380d ago

Oh okay, I thought he meant co op split screen, but online.

Autodidactdystopia5380d ago

Because consoles cant handle it.

Thats why.

imagine how terrible the screens would look.
rendering twice the imagery for two separate cameras in two separate lod areas on one console that struggles to handle the game in single player. think about it its gonna run at like 1152
by 720 or something would it really be smart to split that already low resolution into two separate screens? would destroy image quality.

Lol people disagreed with you, yet they're on a site about gaming.

zeal0us5380d ago

So no offline split-screen multiplayer? Is everything else beside the campaign online-only? I'm a little confuse over the whole situation.

Pozzle5380d ago

I miss offline split-screen multiplayer. It seems less and less games have it, but I always preferred it over online multiplayer. I love being able to play with friends or family in the same room. So much fun to be had!

TheIneffableBob5380d ago

The game is just doing too much at once for consoles to handle rendering that twice.

Halo can do it because it's relatively simple and predictable. Battlefield 3 can't because it's very complex in its interactions and visuals.

x8005380d ago

they could do it under 1 circumstance by lowering the games graphics to the N64 mario game xD

GraveLord5379d ago

Modern Warfare 3 will have split-screen online. I guess Infinity Ward/Sledgehammer Games are more talented developers?

x8005379d ago

i think cos the game runs at 60fps normally and it will run 30-35fps split-screen? but bf3 runs at 30 normally and the graphics are much better on bf3.

Battlefield 3 Cut Missions From Campaign Detailed by Former DICE Dev

Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign

XiNatsuDragnel547d ago

I wish someone can get those EA game leaks to see all the cut content ngl

anast547d ago

Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

Bf4 was fun hope the new bf is just as good.

hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D

Knightofelemia1333d ago

You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

MadLad1332d ago

We'll see what happens now that Zampella is overlooking the series.
