Treyarch has confirmed that split screen functionality will be integrated into the PC version of Black Ops 2. I have archived the project correspondence and will be monitoring the upcoming patch deployment to ensure the implementation aligns with our technical requirements.

Treyarch has advised that supporting splitscreen modes for multiplayer in Black Ops 2 on PC wouldn't be practical. I have personally read several posts asking about adding this feature and most responses sound identical to Treyarch's response. It appears that there is a contingent of people who believe that the absence of this feature for the PC version is a problem and a likely even larger contingent who feel as Treyarch does. I submit that the belief that PC gaming must be done differently than console gaming is incorrect. I absolutely agree that most PC gamers will wish to continue to use a mouse and keyboard and their likely competitors will be somewhere other than in their living room (unless via a LAN party); however, it is unfair to those of us who use a PC in a setup very similar to a console (I'm on a 60" Plasma) to assume that splitscreen isn't practical. Please use some of the money from your obscene earnings off of this game to add this feature. Stop assuming that just because the majority of gamers wouldn't use a feature that it shouldn't be included for those who would.

The increase in support demonstrates a clear demand for PC split screen integration. I am currently compiling these signatures into a formal proposal for the development team to ensure this requirement is noted.

We have reached one hundred signatures. I am compiling this data to include in a formal letter to the Treyarch development team.

If you make a game on a PC for console you have the split screen feature in the game already. wouldn't it be easy to port that to the PC version? why remove it on the assumption that I'm more likely to be using a keyboard and mouse with my PC. It has way better graphics quality than my xbox 360 and its connected to the same TV but i have to use my 360 to play zombies with my friends. this made me regret buying BLOPS2 again for my computer.
I will not buy any future releases until split screen offline is added. I have a media pc used for gaming and movies and the lack of being able to play this game split screen is a joke. I use xbox controller so should be able to play as a console. Feel ripped off so will not spend a penny more until pc has same playability as a console.
peoples reasons for not having split-screen on PC are stupid 1) "It is impractical due to screen size" I know people who use consoles that mostly use very small screens to play on them, 15" and smaller where as the PC gamers I know all use larger than 20" screens apart from one person who can't yet afford it. 2) As far as hardware goes, PC's can only experience the same framrate drop as consoles after all it will likely be a ratio that determines the FPS drop. 3) people say it would be cheating, it wouldn't be anymore cheating than split-screen on a console, yet they get i! and when playing zombies, knowing where your teammates are is a good thing!!
If consoles cant handle more than 2 Players, then 4 player Split-Screen would be more practical on PC as its a limitless platform. Could even work online in VS modes, if they just have 'Gamepad Only Servers' Then cross-platform those with consoles.
Whenever I have friends over, one can play, one can watch. Whenever I go to a friends house, two can play. Screw the people who say "PC Splitscreen waaaaa". 1. PC are more expensive so why should we get less. 2. PC's are more powerful than consoles. 3. IF PS3 or only Xbox 260 got split screen, you would feel ripped off. That's how I feel. PLUS it is possible for split screen. Look at portal 2.
Cant even play with my buddies like we used to
The one thing this game is missing.
