Is there offline splitscreen co-op play for left 4 dead on the xbox?

Just as it says, I am not looking for online, just offline with two controllers. Thanks!

Yep. There is. I used to play with a friend on his xBox. Two of you play and two of the characters are run by the game. It’s fun, but sometimes hard to see necessary things in split screen.

It took my husband and I a while to figure out how to do it right (we were setting up a lobby like it a person would for online play which is fine except for when you pause (it keeps playing as if everyone else could)).

After the first person signs in, there’ll be a bit of info on the bottom left of the screen, it should tell player 2 to press start. You sign in, etc, and then select Play offline co-op or something.

Have fun! Its an amazing game, and Crash Course (the partial level between the first two campaigns) comes/came out this month. Left 4 Dead 2 comes out in November.

I know this should be in another question, but are the DLC’s free for xbox? Thanks everyone!

They don’t update the xbox version like they update the pc version. I own the game but I haven’t looked for DLC. It most likely isn’t free unless it is a trailer or an interview.

Nope, Xbox is mean and charges you anyway. Its free for PC, but not for Xbox (because you have to go through Xbox live to buy it, I guess). Crash Course is supposed to be $7, and there’s another one that has already come out that added survival mode and an area map (not an entire level).

You can use an Xbox controller (and PS3 controller two, I think) with some PC games, but I don’t know if you can do split-screen co-op on the same computer. Seems to me that if you can’t, you’d have to buy two copies of the games. Maybe it’d work if you had two monitors hooked up? I don’t know, I’m not much of a computer gamer. Thinking I might do that for the next Elders Scrolls though, because we can download mods that way (my husband was boo-hoo-ing about not having Oblivion for PC because of the werewolf mods).

I think trailers and demos are free. Don’t quote me though. My husband says the demos should be free, but he’s never downloaded trailers before.
