I dunno... Split screened strategy games are duller than something incredibly dull. When you can see every single thing the enemy is doing, well, I guess the best comparison (as far as suckiness) is how like in DK64's multiplayer whenever you hurt someone they could way too easily escape and just refill their health.
However, system linked play, THAT is something that would rock. They could do it the exact same way MS does it with the XBox. Simply use the broadband adapter like MS's broadband port to link together the systems via a hub (or using a special hook up cable to reverse the hookup like the XBox's system link cable, in fact that same cable could probably be used here), and then set up the game to support that kind of link up. Boom, and then after that, Gamespy just needs to make some tunnel software for the 'Cube and we get pseudo online play!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
