Look at my screen! You’ll hear this a lot if you play split screen with an experience Halo veteran. In Halo 3 they have adjusted the perspective on split-screen making it a very natural transition from full screen. For this reason, playing split screen is an advantage.

The ability to see all your teammates' actions, at all times, is an obvious advantage. You know exact details without even having to hear them. But just because you can see what they are doing, don’t take anything for granted. Here are some tips of playing split-screen that will help you put it to the most use:

* Still call out information. Constantly communicating with your teammates keeps everyone on the same page and “in the game.” A quiet team translates to a losing team, especially at the top levels.

* Check the split-screen periodically. Much like checking radar in free-for-alls, learn to constantly glance at your teammate's screen quickly, taking in valuable information without getting yourself into trouble by losing focus on what’s happening on your screen. It will become second nature, but it has to be practiced.

* Coordinate. Two players on split screen will learn to synchronize their actions and play off each other. There’s no better way to work on teamwork than to play split screen.
