Split screen / local co op?

[SHOWT1M3]

Is there split screen or local co op?

[=F|A= TinehPhoenix]

Splitscreen, nope, not that I know at least. And by local coop, do you mean like LAN? In that case yes.

[SHOWT1M3]

Not LAN, I mean couch co op, two or more on one PC.

I don't know of any FPS game that lets you do that on a PC

Serious Sam

Okay well 99% of the time PC games will not have splitscreen coop, that's more of a console feature, anyway with Killing Floor, you will need another computer to play the game

Ok cheers for the info!

With a mod is possible in Unreal Tournament 3 and L4D.

http://www.PCcouchCOOP.com All of your arguments are invalid. Also, a mod could DEFINITELY add splitscreen to ut2004.... I mean killing floor. WELL IT'S BASICALLY ON THE UT2004 ENGINE ANYWAY. Anyway..... a mod would easily do it if someone bothered to make it. It's ALSO POSSIBLE that you could steal a ut2004 mod that does it and possibly have it work. Killing Floor DOES use mutators in the EXACT same way after all. In fact, I'd expect that any ut2004 mod not depending on the ut2004-specific objects would work. Only general objects such as "PlayerPawn" or "Weapon" that exist at the foundation of the engine.

Unreal Tournament 3 Black Edition doesn't have it enabled by default but there's a mod to enable split screen that is very popular. Also Left 4 Dead, same story, some idiot decided to take Split Screen away from PC gamers and PC modders added it back.

There's no reason for PC games with controller support not to have split screen, at best it's an oversight on the part of developers who aren't fully hip to the fact that modern PC gamers often have friends and family that also play games, it's not a small obscure hobby that's hard to find people to play with in real life anymore.

Yup, people arguing that PC can't split screen need to do their research. And it does a disservice to PC gaming when they argue that split screen is for consoles, split screen is for people who have friends in real life and like to play in the same room, and it's dumb for a game to have split screen removed for PC, that's arbitrarily taking options away from PC gamers.

Every Call of Duty game

ut2004 engine can be tweaked for it if you get the right plugins, but its probably more effort than it is to just make a lan party
