Settings for Split-Screen
The first hurdle is setting up the split-screen. Unlike the classic four-player format, Modern Warfare 2 lets two players battle it out. You’d need an extra controller or keyboard and mouse, besides your original. Hook it up and get ready to roll.
Ste by Step Guide:
- First, make sure that you have an additional controller or a keyboard and mouse. This will act as the second player’s device.
- Connect the second controller or keyboard and mouse to your console or PC.
- Link the second device to an Xbox profile or PlayStation profile. You can either use an existing profile or log in with your own account.
- Start Modern Warfare 2. Once the main menu appears, the second player needs to press the button to join the game (X for PlayStation, A for Xbox, or Space for K/M).
- Log into Activision ID profile to get access to their custom weapons and loadouts. Or play without an Activision ID, but they’ll be restricted to using the default loadouts.

- If you don’t want to manually select a game mode, use Quick Play for an immediate start. However, make sure to filter out Free-For-All or the game won’t start.
