COD: Black Ops has two-player splitscreen online

News circulating the interweb is that the latest foray in the Call of Duty universe, Black Ops, will support two player splitscreen multiplayer in oline matches. This is a great bonus to me personally, someone who likes to play locally with friends whenever possible. There does appear to be an exchange at getting this new feature though – no co-op campaign.

If you were hoping to enjoy a bit of story while playing with a friend by your side physically and not just virtually, then you are going to be disappointed by this news burst. However, just think of the endless hours of fun you can now have playing with them online. Besides, there’s always zombies isn’t there? ….isn’t there!?

This information came to light as part of an interview with Dan Suarez, an executive producer working on Black Ops. If you want to see the piece in question, simply skip to the 6:20 mark and a few seconds later you get confirmation from Suarez; “Yes, you can play splitscreen on the combat training mode and on MP (multiplayer).” He then confirms it as limited to two players.
