Being a co-operatively based game, it shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody that people love to play Borderlands with buds, and sometimes those buds don't have their own copy of Borderlands, meaning they'll have to occasionally mooch off of you. But what if you wanted to play with others online? Well, great news is, Borderlands 2 will allow split-screeners to also connect to two other player online, as announced by Gearbox Software's Steve Gibosn at Gamescom.
There's one slight kicker though, with the split-screening players being unable to host online servers, as Gibson says split-screeners use a lot of CPU.
Lastly, the split-screen's interface has been revamped, allowing for easier inventory management.
