Coming home from picking up Battlefront, me and a friend couldn't wait to jump into a hectic 20 v 20 online game together, sticking it to the other team over some classic split-screen. Little did we know that the touted couch co-op feature was limited to the Battles offline game mode only. Although this is probably on us for not researching properly whether you actually could play online locally with a friend, it's still incredibly disappointing that DICE wasn't able to implement this feature. Maybe I've just become too accustomed to having friends over and blazing through a couple of games of Call of Duty locally with friends, but not having online split-screen included in a game like this seems like a missed opportunity - especially when the title's party system is limited to two players. Still, at least there's some form of couch co-op in Battlefront, which is more than you can say for that other huge first person shooter that released this year.
