Splinter Cell: Conviction Shots Go Split Screen

Two new screenshots of Splinter Cell: Conviction have surfaced, sneakily showcasing the stealth-action sequel's slick split-screen support in its co-op multiplayer mode.

Word of the cooperative multiplayer mode, set before the game's single-player campaign, recently surfaced, with today's split-screen media via Xbox Europe Community Manager Graeme Boyd and Ubisoft's Splinter Cell Facebook.

The only thing that remains unclear is if the split-screen support is only in the Xbox 360 version or if it also extends to the PC edition due the same day. We're checking in with Ubisoft, hopefully we'll know more before the game arrives on February 23.

Update: Ubisoft has confirmed with Shacknews that Splinter Cell: Conviction PC will indeed sport both the online and split-screen multiplayer modes.

I am glad this has split screen but I was hoping for system link. System link not supported as per here, http://www.co-optimus.com/game/1436/XBox_360/Splinter_Cell_Conviction.html . I was hoping to pick up 2 copies to play with my son over the link. I am not buying 2 gold memberships just to play co-op.

Even with the res of the screens I'd put money on these either being doctored somehow or taken from the PC version. They just look too crisp.

What really turned me off about this is when seeing it being played Multiplayer and Singleplayer at CES, the game suffered an extremely low framerate, especially in multiplayer. Frames ran from 15-24 at best, making it unbearable to watch, let alone play.

If this has Splitscreen for PC it would have my interest again, if not, I think I'll pass.

Maybe I am in the wrong here, but I can't keep track of these Tom Clancy games. I feel like the market has been over saturated with them to the point that I don't know whats what.

After playing Batman:AA, those screen shots look pretty cool, but I will probably pass this game completely, because I cannot imagine with the quantity of TC titles, many of them are great games.

I am sure there is entertainment in them, I just don't have the energy to find out which.

I'd like to suggest the addition of "Split Screen" to the tags. Even "PC Split Screen". Thanks

Can't wait for this. I don't see how it could be split on a PC with the higher resolutions.
