    hey guys, I know that ofp is gonna support xboxlive and all that, but is it gonna support split screen? I know that the technicalities to implement sometin like that must be enourmous, but it will increase the success of the game, as the appeal of games like halo is that your buddy can come over to your house and you and your friend can play against each other with no need of more hw (another xbox).
    I know that ofp is a resources hugger so most likely you guys should find a way around decreasing the viedistance and somewhat the detail (afterall is only a small part of the screen that is gonna be available for visualization&#33

    I am afraid "technicalities to implement sometin like that" are so "enourmous", that it is simply not possible (or at least, we are not able to to it). It is quite challenging to make OFP run of Xbox smooth even without splitscreen.

    On the other hand, both System link and Live multiplayer will be supported.

    IMO where all console games get in wrong is they only support 1 TV. 90% of households that own a TV actually own 2 (or more...at least in Australia....in the US the percentage is higher). Splitscreen sucks....we all know it, so why not multiple TV support.

    Anyway...gl with the X-BOX release BIS

    Two TV's will be supported by OFP Xbox - the only thing you need for this is two Xbox consoles. ***

    Lies split screen is fun, play halo 4 vs 4 on 2 xboxes through system link, and you will be just amazed at how much fun and how much cooperation is created.

    BIS is the only game studio I know that would put a half naked chick covering her rack on their main page, and I applaud them for it.
