Four player split screen meant dragging two dining chairs into the living room and making one person sit on the carpet directly under the TV.
In Halo everybody promised not to screen peek. Then you saw your cousin staring at your corner of the screen before he even pretended to look away.
The frame rate would die when too much happened and nobody cared because the room itself was loud. Somebody was always reaching across you for snacks or kicking the controller cable.
Online is easier. Split screen was funnier. I will defend that until my neck recovers from looking up at that television.
