Why are FPS moving away from Split Screen Co-Op?

I brought Dead Space 3 back yesterday for Halo 4 for this reason.
If I can't play campaign's with my son, I lose interest.
What is the reason for more games not using this feature?

Because the systems arent powerful enough to do it.

I wish they''d design the games o that you could full install the game on multiple systems and play co op over your local network.
I HATE split screen.

not hardly. They could easily limit it to just installing on xboxes that were tied together in xbox live family plan, and limit the number of installs to like 3 tops.

thats way too much work for the developer as well as for the XBL system. TBH I don't find split screen coop to be enjoyable. I would rather play online coop and have a full screen. I have a feeling that lots of people feel similarly, therefore they are not going to make those changes happen. Who knows? Maybe they'll add that in next generation.

Not entirely true, but it does require a lot more work out of the developers to keep it running well on splitscreen.

They can "run" those games in splitscreen, but it would be awful.
Playing blops2 splitscreen on zombies is almost unplayable because it's so laggy. I cant imagine how bad it would be in a game like BF3

So you guys are telling me old school N64s that had 4 split screens at a time for multiplayer are "more" powerful than current generation consoles? That's sounds pretty ludicrous.
If anything its not routinely put in games anymore Bc I'm sure it's a very small minority of customer base where a couple kids get together and play in the same console anymore like we used to. Everyone has their own now so it's pretty pointless to develop for split screen when 99% of the kids could just play someone via Live or PSN

Today's game are far more graphically intense on these systems than the games on prior gen systems.

I understand where you're coming from. My best friend back in the day and I had some great times doing co-op on Halo 2 and 3 and Battlefront 2. Something about working together even if you only have half a screen is fun. I think it's great you want to share that with your son.

I wish it wasn't going the way of the dodo.
I still have the occasional opportunity to play split screen, but fewer games support it.
I've had some fun with split screen Blops2 zombies and Borderlands 2 in recent months.

Halo 4 does it.
I'm told RE6 supports it as well

Gears of War 3 has split screen. The wife and I played through the story mode and we now play horde mode on split screen. It's actually pretty cool.

I wish more games had the option to censor the profanity.
