    Why can't I play splitscreen co-op on Gears of War 2 on Xbox One


    I subscribed to Game Pass to play through the Gears of War series in splitscreen co-op. We got through the first game no problem, but on Gears of War 2 I cannot play the game in co-op. When I start the game, it demands that I sign in a second profile and
    even when I have multiple profiles signed in on my Xbox One, it will not register a second profile for player two. This leaves me unable to access the content that I have subscribed for. Needless to say, if this issue is not rectified immediately, I will be
    cancelling my subscription. Can't tell you how banefully stupid it is to be unable to play a multiplayer game despite having the game downloaded and two controllers.

    :)

    Co-op Crap Games. All of Them

    I enjoyed a lot of games that are splitscreen co-op:

    Borderlands

    Halo 3

    Halo 3: ODST

    Halo Reach

    Gear of War

    Gears of War 2

    Gears of War 3

    Resident Evil 5

    Rainbow 6 Vegas

    Rainbow 6 Vegas 2

    And I did enjoy Army of two's co-op the second one was lacking though. I must also be the only person who enjoyed Kane and Lynch. Lost Planet 2's Splitscreen Co-op is actually pretty horrible, as it gives you a much smaller screen, and only the primary account
    can get achievements, which makes no sense to me. I don't know why it would have full online co-op with everyone getting achievements and then limit the splitscreen.

    Fable, Hellboy, and the earlier lego games had really crappy co-op as well with the whole lame shared screen crap that often screws up camera angles so you can't see what you are doing. Or in the case of Lego would end up having you get pulled to your death
    because your co-op partner has no clue where they are going.

    2 player split screen games?

    [quote user="ADrunkCanadian"]

    left 4 dead supports this im pretty sure, call of duty black ops supports online play but not co-op and zombies, theres also mw2 for spec ops and waw for zombies again. saints row 2 has co-op and likely same with saints row 3, army of two is another one
    same with dead rising 2, and the two arcade games.

    [/quote]Saint Row games, Dead Rising 2 don't support splitscreen.



    - lost planet 2.

    Gears of War series question

    Yes, Gears of War 1 and 2 have two-player co-op only. Gears of War 3 is the only Gears to have four-player co-op.

    Suggestions

    A lot of shooters have co-op enabled split screen, so there's that. But games that focus specifically on Co-op are a little harder to find:

    • Borderlands
    • Castle Crashers (Xbox LIVE Arcade game)
    • Gears of War
    • Gears of War 2
    • Portal 2 (This game is probably the one that has the best co-op: has its very own co-op mode with heavy focus on solving puzzle sequences as a team)

    Co op Games.

    I think I just Buy Gear of War 2, Gear of War Judgment and F.E.AR 3, Because they are Co op Games and I don't Single Games I like Co op Games, I seem to not like playing Single player Games.
