I hate how games are getting rid of split screen and going with online multiplayer instead. Some of the most fun I've EVER had on games is when I have a friend with me in my livingroom playing through campaigns and online with me. Lost Planet, Shadowrun, Resistance.. Some fairly big-name games. None of them have split screen.
Hell, arguably the best and most fun shooter of all time, Goldeneye for the N64, had split screen multiplayer, and it was the balls. The Halo franchise has great stories, great gameplay, and good online. They do split screen. Call of Duty does split screen. I don't get why game companies can see these games, with all of the money and success they've made for themselves, and decide NOT to let the people who play their games play with a friend. Having your friend a few miles away over a microphone just isn't as fun as having them play with you.
