If people reached it legit before they dropped the XP requirements...
Haha, of course people would have complained, but I do think it would have been a decent enough compromise. I doubt we'll ever get the full story on what the issue waswhether a lack of focus/laser focus on 60fps, some sort of marketing directive from MS who might've been paranoid about 30fps appearing at all after they hyped it up, etc.
Well yeah people complain about everything. But the Rez/framerate compromise is essentially standard for Splitscreen games. The backlash would be inaudible compared to the lack of split-screen...
