2 Player "Online Play" w 1 Console

[belamag]

It was suggested here that CODWaW was able to do this but it cannot. Unless we are doing something wrong, there's no "press X to join" for the second player (one console) in any of the "online" boards. Sure reads like it can do this on the cover. Misleading?

1 PS3: 2 players: Online as a team:

Thanks!!

He's saying that if 1 person has a game disc, someone else should be able to join them, even if they don't have it, via Xbox Live or PSN.

Sure and thank you for the reply. I have 1 PS3 and I would like myself and my best friend to be able to sign in to an online death match, etc and play as a team or even on opposite teams. CODWaW reads that it can do this but it cannot. Yes, we can play as a team MULTIPLAYER or against each other within the game CO OP but NOT sign in to the ONLINE section and do the same.

Sorry, I've never tried this feature, and I don't have a PS3 so I can't help you any further. Hopefully someone else can enlighten you.

EDIT: No, not saying that since I own the DVD, my friend should be able to go online with his PS3 and join me. What I am saying is - he does not own a PS3. I do. In other words: The PS3 has 2 controllers (player 1 and player 2). We would like to be able to go ONLINE and play as player 1 and player 2. Again, there was a thread here that listed the games that can do this and CODWaW was listed but it cannot do it. Just an FYI - Unless we are doing something wrong.

Oh, now I get it. You can't play Call Of Duty (WAW or Modern Warfare) online, using splitscreen. You have to have to different consoles, on two different TVs, and two different discs.

 

[belamag]

Ah! Yeah. It's odd because the DVD info sure reads like you can.

Multiplayer Online
Co Op Online

...but I guess they mean something different.

Thank you for the help!!

You mean like the PSP and DS? I get it now.

OT: Well I'm looking at the cover for World at War and I'm not seeing this mentioned anywhere on it. There is a four player co-op, but that's if your friends are sitting in the same room with you, each brandishing their own controllers.

Guess I got the verbiage mixed up. Is there any WAR games that can do this? The online option as a team. Would be so great. Take MoH:Airborne for example: To be able to drop in as a team. Way cool! Yes, I know - no go with that game as well ;-)

Quick question: My friend does have a PC. I suppose he could install the game on his PC, add me as a friend and just team up online, yes?
