I’m not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but when I am playing Battleborn on splitscreen, there is one thing that gets quiet annoying.
This is the black bar on the left side of the screen. It seems to take up a lot of space but it doesn’t feel like it actually needs all the space it is taking. If you could implement a way to make it smaller or find a better layout, that would be great.
Good job on the game though, its really great!

There’s another thread on split-screen. Is your issue the same as @mattdyer0’s? If so, these two threads should be combined. If not, you should change your title to something else so the team knows it’s a different issue.

I agree, definitely takes up a lot of space. I immediately looked to see if there were more options. I’m wondering if they can just make the extra info semi transparent.
Have enjoyed the beta so far, and am feeling much more inclined to pick the game up than I did after the first beta. However, playing local co-op is a big draw for us, and unfortunately, the current splitscreen layout is terrible.
Like others have mentioned, having an option to change between vertical and horizontal split would be optimal, but I think even more importantly is being able to actually use all of the screen area. Having 1/3 of each split being a black area with just the minimap in it is a huge waste of space, and makes the are for gameplay pretty small. I don’t understand why it doesn’t just use the whole half of the screen, and just have a much smaller mini-map within that area.
Having better visibility would make playing splitscreen co-op greatly improved.

Hi dev! Thanks for letting us in the beta. Do see if it’s possible to do a vertical split screen as that is what me and my partner used in the handsome collection and it’s more comfortable for us

Really loving the game…its fun and easy. My daughter loves it as much as me. I know this is Beta but please make sure the splitscreen isnt half taken up by 2 huge minimaps that take away screen Real estate. Thanks!
This is going to be moved, they have a couple post on this issue. It would probably be better to share your opinions in one of the posts already created for this topic.

One more thing to add if possible for splitscreen is at the character loadout and gear screen, the one where you can check your load out etc, it gets quite clunky to sell items due to the need to save online everything that is happening and this is even more amplified when the 2nd player has to do the same thing in the screen.
Perhaps a possible suggestion would to see if you can create a companion app to do all these gear and loadout switching, i believe a split screen selling items may also be good enough.
Or perhaps try to allow for flagging of all the items to be sold together in one go so we do not need to wait for the sale of every single item with the back and forth between the ps4 and the server
It would really be helpful if you could choose between vertical or horizontal views for splitscreen co-op and if the radar/minimap was on the screen instead of it’s own portion of the screen.

Hi, can we get vertical splitscreen please?
Horizontal is unusable because it’s so small in order to keep the scale. It would be much better to keep the scale but have less horizontal real estate in vertical mode, like in the Handsome collection.
Splitscreen is the only reason I’d be getting this (even though the gameplay is generally excellent) as I play with my partner. We’ve sunk ridiculous hours into Borderlands and vertical is the only way to go. I had to sell CoD because it’s horizontal splitscreen was so bad, so please please put vertical in this!
Oh good lord my eyes! Having played through Borderlands co-op with my husband, I thought “Hey! We can do the same thing here!”
Nope. Just nope. And I have one of those large flat screen televisions, but that massive minimap bar on the left side of the screen is just too much. Not to mention, it has your character off-center, so where you’re used to looking for movement on a screen during single or splitscreen (IE: Even splits), it just isn’t there and makes you feel like vomiting trying to run around.
It would be fantastic if we could just get a nice basic splitscreen without that giant map bar. Maybe have it on the side, but see-through and fit the screen across it anyhow? Something has to change, because this can’t be used in the current form.
EDIT: And if Aspect Ratio is the issue here, maybe just center the blasted thing and add black bars to the side? Having it off center is just horrible.
Hey I have cancelled my pre order as the size of the minimap is ridiculus tbh. I will wait to see if it has been removed until I part with the hard earned cash. Massive Borderlands Fans and disappointed to see such a school boy error to remove a third of the playing area for a map…
