No it shouldn't. Until you make the game YOURSELF then deal with what the people who made it gave you. It's THEIR game not yours, that can put WHATEVER they want in it. Simple as that.

lol, yea, and i can choose to return, not to buy content, ect, ect...look this is a simple feature that should be there, EXPECIALLY since the uprising of widescreens, i can understand on a box TV maybe horizontal split being better...but thats why there should be a option to change it right? but i cant believe i expected a team of dumb ass developers to understand that

Actually, we tried both last year and pitted people with Vert. SS with Horiz. SS.

Vertical Splitscreen was fantastic at getting a better sense of the grand environments, but didn't seem to hold up for traditional Gears gameplay. With a few exceptions, most Gears gameplay lies along a horizontal plane. Aiming left to right happens a lot more frequently than up and down.

People who played vertical SS felt they were flanked more often as they lacked the view to see the other players approaching.

Actually we're the CONSUMER so what they put in OUR GAME depends on how much money they get in the longrun.

Actually its not OUR game, its their's.
We just have the "pass" to play it, but the software isnt ours. (According to MS)

As someone who plays a fair share of splitscreen on a 50" widescreen with my consoleless friends, I much prefer the Horiz SS for the same reason Troy pointed out. Vert SS looks nice until you realize how limited your peripheral vision is compared to single screen or Horiz SS.
