Just like the previous Call of Duty titles, Modern Warfare 2 split screen will be easy to set up. First of all, get your friend to switch on a second controller then sign into their PlayStation or Xbox account. If they don't have one, log in as a guest.

Once they've logged in, select your preferred game modes and begin searching. It's worth noting that if you want to play online, the second player needs to have an active Xbox Live or PlayStation Plus subscription. If they don't, you're limited to playing locally against bots and each other.
