If they use splitscreen, it would have to be as a profile and an online guest, or as two online profiles. This seems rather unreasonable because of the main purpose of playing splitscreen with a friend right beside you. Hope they do implement it later in the series, though. With 2+ online profiles I feel like that would be an even better reason to implement it. Eric Osborne commented specifically about Guesting, which I get: no investment in a character leads to not appreciating the game. But enabling split-screen for even just the co-op multiplayer gametype for people with online accounts (XBL, Playstation Online) gives people another way to progress their characters (get loot, upgrades, levels, all the MMO building blocks) and get invested in the game.
