COD:MW2 over 2 consoles!

Andr3w · 14 Jul 2010 at 12:34

We have:

2x TV
2x PS3
1x 1.5mb broadband

There are 4 of us and we feel like playing some COD this weekend together while having a few beers.

Is it possible to have 2 people on each console/tv play online? Or can only one person per console go online at any one time?

Is it possible to play 2people on console A against 2 people on console B locally? Can I just plug the ethernet cable from one PS3 to the other? (Crossover cable?)

Finally, would 1.5mb be ok for online gaming with 4 people (if thats possible). It was always fine for one person.

Thanks

You used to be able to have split screen online play on the older CoD games (CoD3) but they removed the feature to make people buy more copies.

We do have 2 copies of COD (One for each console)

No, only one person can play online at a time. So the max you could have is two people, one on each console.

What about over lan?

Digitalle · 14 Jul 2010 at 13:06

Yes, Im not 100% but I'm pretty sure you can have up to 4 players on each console using system link over LAN. Max of 18 consoles If I remember correctly

Microsoft website. This will be only LAN, so the ranking system for will effectively start again. Which by the sounds of it doesn't really matter.

Opps.

Digitalle · 14 Jul 2010 at 13:16

In that case, even over LAN you are stuck with one player per console.

Oh what? Thats rubbish!

Can confirm this as being the truth, tried it a while ago with 3 mates and 2x360 and 2xMW2. Even though its 360 its the game that doesn't allow splitscreen in anything other than Spec Ops but that is limited to 2 people anyway.

You could all just play on the same console/tv screen? 4 player is possible

Andr3w · 14 Jul 2010 at 15:11

We have done it before with 4 on one TV screen but it's abit....'meh'!

Could you do 2 on one screen and 2 on the other for spec ops. All doing the same spec ops game?

No there's no network splitscreen support, and besides spec ops is 2 players only.
