How to play Split-Screen in Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 includes a variety of new features and many must be curious to know if it includes a multiplayer option that will allow them to play with others in a Split-Screen mode.

Fortunately, unlike other competitive shooters, Call of Duty has been a bit of an anomaly, with many titles over the years supporting the Split-Screen feature for local play. Modern Warfare 2 also offers this in-demand feature, and today’s guide will explain how to enable it.

Enabling Split-Screen in Modern Warfare 2

Enabling the Split-Screen feature in Modern Warfare 2 is quite similar to how it is in Modern Warfare (2019). Here are the steps you will need to follow:

• Launch the shooter, and then make your way to the Multiplayer settings. This will be under the main settings tab on the home page, so you will not have difficulty finding it.
• You will then be required to connect a second controller to the console and press X/A to sign in, depending on whether you are on the Xbox or PlayStation platform.
• Next, you will have to select and sign into the account you will be playing with. Preferably, it should be your friend's account, who you will be sharing the screen with, in the shooter’s multiplayer experience.
• It’s important to note here that the Split-Screen feature will only work if both players have an active Xbox Live/PS Plus membership. It won't work for those who do not have this subscription.
• Additionally, it’s important that both profiles have an associated Activision account, or they will have to make one when logging into the title.

Once you and your friend have successfully followed the above steps, you will then be able to sign into the game and the Split-Screen feature will be reflected in the in-game party option. It should be noted that activating the Split-Screen option can only be done from your primary account.

You will not be able to use a guest account for this and will need to ensure that your account is marked as the primary one for the device before enabling and trying out Split-Screen in Modern Warfare 2.
