Wrote:The number of people interested in split screen shooters these days is such a small fraction of the total player base, it just doesn't make much sense for dice to spend time working on it when they could be working on setting else. I guess it could happen, but it seems very unlikely to me.Especially since split screen hasn't been done in such a long time that people who want to play next to each other have placed two consoles next to each other by now, TVs with picture in picture and other fancy things.

LoLwiz gives you all this information and more via a single, real-time display. With LoLwiz, you can spend those critical pregame minutes analyzing your matchup instead of pulling up 3 browser tabs and two apps trying to get the necessary info. All of my friends and I play on mac and we really wish that there was a lolwiz for mac so we wouldn't have to google all their players name and check all that to see their stats and I know there aren't as many players on mac as there are on pc but the amount that would use this application would in my opinion be worth the time spent making it. LoLwiz is a FREE app optimized for Overwolf which provides IN GAME summoner stats showing rank, KDA, masteries, and wins/losses for all the summoners in your game. Get an edge on your competition by understanding up front who the best and worst players are, and how proficient they are with their selected champion.

How come some missions are greyed out?

You must complete the previous one or two required missions to move forward. You can complete these on any difficulty you'd like. In co-op you can only play a mission if both players have unlocked the required missions.

Does Battlelog keep stats for co-op?

While not as in depth as the competitive multiplayer, some stats are tracked in co-op including: Kills, Headshots, Assists, Vehicle Kills, Savior Killls, Revives and Avenger Kills. It also tracks co-op score and progress towards unlocks.

What can I unlock by playing co-op?

There are 9 guns to unlock that are then usable in the competitive multiplayer aspect. You'll need to play through the co-op campaign numerous times to unlock enough points to earn all the weapons. For instance I've played every co-op mission 3 times (some more) and I've just unlocked the third weapon.
