No

Bungie just released that there will be no splitscreen in Destiny. However, they also said that if the community came together on a subject then they WILL listen. We need to band together, and show that we CARE about whether or not there is splitscreen. I want to play with my friends and family. I don't want to spend $400+ just to please these major companies. Ever since Halo, I've loved split-screen. I couldn't STOP. 4-Player FPS was my DREAM, and now Bungie, my HERO, makes the one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen single player, I couldn't stand aside. This is for the gamers who love splitscreen. This is for the people who want to make their OWN choices, not the ones who'd rather have greedy gaming companies chose FOR them. This is for the family. This is for the friends. This is for split-screen. Please comment below why you do or don't want split-screen. Also share this link all over the web. Twitter. Facebook. Bungie. With your help we can bring split-screen back to Destiny. (EDIT #2) The change.org petition was made by someone else. http://www.change.org/petitions/destiny-add-split-screen-co-op (EDIT) Also everyone. Be nice and respectful of others. Keep it clean out there, I don't want this to be reduced to a shouting match. Keep the peace. I hope you're listening Deej. (EDIT) Guys, lets think for a moment. People talk about consoles not being able to handle splitscreen and single player experiences being ruined because adding splitscreen would reduce single player graphics. If this was [b]true[/b], wouldn't Bungie have just [b]said[/b] that in their explanation of why splitscreen wasn't in Destiny? Think about it. If consoles didn't have the power, wouldn't Bungie have just [b]said [/b]that for their reason why Destiny didn't have splitscreen? If single player graphics were decreased, wouldn't Bungie have just [b]said [/b]that for their reason why Destiny didn't have splitscreen? But Bungie [b]DIDN'T[/b]. Their silence speaks for itself. None of the above is [b]TRUE[/b], because if it [b]WAS [/b]Bungie would have just [b]SAID SO[/b] as their excuse for no splitscreen! [b]Think [/b]about it! If it was [b]TRUE [/b]they would have just used it as their excuse! However they [b]DIDN'T[/b]. Which means only one thing: [b]IT ISN'T TRUE.[/b] They [b]never [/b]mentioned it! They said nothing about console power or single player graphics! So the REASON WHY it wasn't mentioned is because it [b]SIMPLY ISN'T TRUE![/b] Consoles [b]CAN [/b]handle it! Singe player graphics [b]AREN'T [/b]affected! And Bungie doesn't [b]want [/b]us to know! They only technicalities they went into were "rendering" and "tethering", however, they also [b]never [/b]said that splitscreen [b]WASN'T [/b]possible! They speak of rendering and tethering, but never said that it [b]WASN'T [/b]possible! Cmon people! Look at it! Splitscreen [b]IS [/b]possible, and we [b]need [/b]to speak up! Btw MMO's can have splitscreen. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/66727205/0/0

  • Split screen is a must have, preferably for campaign and local matches but at least for local matches. The first Halo game I ever played was Halo 2 at a friends house (I didn't own an original XBOX, I was more of a PlayStation guy at the time). Before I played a lick of campaign, I played 4-player slayer for hours. This was honestly one of my favorite video game experiences of all time. I bought a PS3 when I was in 7th grade and then an XBOX 360 shortly afterwards just for Halo 3. I then became an avid XBOX player. Bungie has been one of my favorite gaming companies since then. When they decided to leave the Halo franchise my heart dropped. Luckily, Studio 453 did not disappoint (though not better than Bungie). I do not believe Bungie is being greedy by taking it out, just doing what they feel the gamers want. However, even the best gaming companies are fallible at times, and Bungie, I love you to death, but you're wrong about this one. I personally feel that by removing multiplayer you have betrayed your loyal fans and your own roots. I am really excited that Destiny will not be XBOX only. Although I won't be able to play online with my Sony friends, it will be nice to be able to share anecdotes with them. The argument about a co-op classed based game being too difficult is valid; however, I feel that it adds a new sense of difficulty (though some times tedious) and creativity to the game. However, I will not sit here and listen to any arguments about the resolution being lower. So what?! I love seeing games look better every year, and I am so happy that games have come THIS far. But since when are games created just to look good. Hell, why not just make a game that's turn based and fill it with cut scenes if that's what you really care about. Gaming is about fun, not visual aesthetics. PUT MULTIPLAYER IN DESTINY BUNGIE! - Love your loyal fan, Taylor
