You may be wondering if Modern Warfare 2 split-screen co-op is available in the latest Call of Duty game. Past CoD games allowed you and a friend to enjoy the campaign and multiplayer from the comfort of your couch. But with so many features now disabled by Infinity Ward, is MW2 split-screen still possible? Can you play local multiplayer?
How to Play Split-Screen in Modern Warfare 2
Yes, actually, Modern Warfare 2 split-screen is available. It’s a bit of a surprise, since local co-op has been gradually removed from many multiplayer games over the last console generation, but Activision and Infinity Ward have kept to their guns. Here’s how to play local co-op in the game:
- Make sure that both you and your friend have a Xbox Live or PlayStation Plus subscription
- Also make sure you and your friend have a tied Activision account
- Head to the multiplayer section of the game
- Connect a second controller, with your friend signing in appropriately
Unfortunately, PC players do not have access to local multiplayer through split-screen, which isn’t much of a shock given that prior PC versions of Call of Duty have lacked the feature.
