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.

(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.

1 ReplySome of my favorite memories (not all of them but a good bit) have been centered around the fun of getting all the guys together and blasting aliens, or each other, to bits all the while clogging up the air with sounds of smack talk, war cries, and yells of jubilation. The very first game that this experience was host to was Halo: CE (all rockets + the small multi-tiered map was the best) and ever since then the majority of our time has been centered around the Bungie legacy of Halo. So it was a sad day to see Bungie part ways with Halo, but upon hearing about Destiny I became ecstatic. And the more we learned about it the more excited I was. I could envision getting two of the guys together and after planning out our battle strategy through needless /nonsensical doodling on a dry erase board and stocking up on enough drinks + snacks to see us through our venture, heading out to conquer these notorious Raids. Hours later after failing the Raid enough to learn how to beat it, we would emerge with our shiny new weapons and grin at each other as we began the ritual of sizing up each other's loot and telling of how ours was so much better. The smack talk would then find its way into an arena as we showed the fruits of our labor by blasting each other in the face with them. This and adventures like these carrying on into the wee hours of the morning until we dropped from exhaustion only to resume when we recovered from our Monster and pizza induced comas. Please, don't take this away from me Bungie, especially as you will be taking it away from yourselves as fellow geeks and gamers. Let our couches be the scenery of our war rooms once more.
