Modern Warfare is totally different from the game that first appeared in 2011. Like many other series reboots, it includes a completely new campaign, different multiplayer modes, and a fresh take on the classic zombie modes.
However, not all of these modes have a split-screen multiplayer option, which, in some sense, takes away game charm and functionality in favor of online games.
The prevalence of online options is slowly undermining the use of local multiplayer options to the point that consoles will no longer support more players on the same console. However, players still demand split-screen play. While Modern Warfare 3 has a split-screen option, it’s not available for every game mode.
