While pwning noobs can be a lot of fun, and online multiplayer is a cool way to socialise with friends you don’t often see, nothing beats having some mates over for some good old couch co-op or competition. I still don’t even know what the fuck ‘ping’ is, just that I often have a problem with it.
The glory days of the split-screen seem to be behind us, moved over in favour of push-to-talk chat and ping. It seems weird these days that most games would rather your friends be countless miles away than right on the sofa next to you.
