AFIAK, there is no way to set it up on a single xbox, for a single 
reason.  Doom 3 renders based on a portal system.  Basically, when a map 
is portalled properly, you only really render what is in your immediate 
area.  This allows for high quality in small areas, although it's a pain 
in th' ass once you expand your operations (either cram things in to 
portal more or suffer performance loss)

If split-screen co-op were possible, you could (and most likely *would*) 
have two players in two places at one time, which doubles the rendering 
load on the Xbox.  Performance would subsequently drop drastically.

Soz :(
