Four player split-screen is just the definition of fun times gaming to me. So many great memories of me and my mates sat around the lounge, conquering the galaxy for Palpatine in 'Star Wars: Battlefront 2', or just destroying one another in 'Timesplitters: Future Perfect' (which was the undeniable apex of the Goldeneye/Perfect Dark formula. What an amazing, amazing game that was).
Not to mention, 'Timesplitters: Future Perfect' had more than a few female characters. Not to mention the rest...
In conclusion, f*** 'Call of Duty' for making the inclusion of female characters both a breadcrumb and somehow a big deal RATHER THAN THE WAY THINGS SHOULD BE IN GAMING. Piece of f***ing s*** game series.
