How Do I Do a Splitscreen on the Rainbow Six Vegas 2 on the PS3?

With most games trending toward online-only multiplayer, it is rare to find games that offer local split screen multiplayer as well. One game that does offer split-screen gameplay is Ubisoft's "Rainbow Six Vegas 2" for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game consoles. The game has a number of split-screen modes, including the game's "Story" mode, "Terrorist Hunt" mode and "Versus" mode. Playing split-screen on "Rainbow Six Vegas 2" for the PS3 requires that you have two controllers connected to the system, meaning you can play the game's local multiplayer with a friend in a matter of minutes.
