Using community mods or the "BO1 Split Screen Manager," you can adjust the Field of View. Console forces roughly 65 FOV, which is nauseating for many. On PC, you can push each player’s view to 90 or 100, allowing you to see the full room without turning around constantly.

: For those using a mouse and keyboard, remember that you must lock the input (usually by pressing the End key) once the game starts to prevent one player from controlling both screens.

The most reliable method to get split-screen working is Nucleus Co-Op , a free, open-source tool that lets you run multiple instances of a game and maps them to separate controllers.

Why the experience is technically better now:

For over a decade, the "Zombies" community has operated under a single, unspoken hierarchy. If you wanted the best performance , you played on PC. If you wanted the best social experience —couch co-op, split screen, sharing a bag of chips with a friend—you played on console.
