    We would first have to improve the performance of the graphical side first :)

    Since this is focused on multiplayer, how do you work it for right now?
    I never figured that out

    Get into a free-roam map, check the multiseat option under the gameplay tab of the options menu (if you do that before you load the map it might need to be turned back off and on again. It didn't want to work for me until I did that), and spawn two vehicles with two "controllers" hooked up. You might have to fiddle around with which vehicle you each are piloting, but if you are doing keyboard and controller it is pretty straight forward, as you just figure out which vehicle is on the controller, and switch the keyboard to the other one. The camera will only be bound to one vehicle, so whomever has the other vehicle will have to try to keep in frame, though you can both control the camera.

    OT: how much more power is needed to pull off splitscreen? It sure would nice, but your tone implies that it is on hold until some new optimization breakthrough occurs.

    A cool extension of split would be to have multiple monitor support for multiple players to where one monitor is dedicated to each player. It would be very taxing though. :(

    You are doing this... right? Splitscreen or not, graphical performance is pretty poor...

    Yes, we are doing this (Improving performance)
    Improving shaders performance takes time.
