This has been happening to me on Gears of War 3, and it's also been happening on Gears of War 2. I can play by myself fine, but when I try to split-screen with my girlfriend, it freezes constantly. They had BETTER find a fix for this without having to lose
progress or stats.

When your in the main menu you should see a free play option, within free play, you should see an option for player 2 to join in by pressing the menu button, thus allowing the split screen.

Split screen for 2 players (horizontal split hopefully)

If you hit the start (menu) button on the controller, it just takes you back to the main menu.
