So, my buddy just got the U last night, and so now we both have gamepads. If we were playing on the same system, can we both use gamepads for multiplayer modes like cod?
Benefit of two gamepads?

No. No game supports 2 gamepads yet. You can't sync 2 to the same Wii U either but future games will allow this & Nintendo will release a firmware update to allow this

Not really stupid as additional Gamepads aren't available yet and of they were they would be fairly expensive. Also in theory the more Gamepads you use the more of a performance hit there will be. If and when games require and/or make proper use of two Gamepads I'm sure Nintendo with provide a firmware update as well as additional Gamepads for sale.

not really a huge difference to me either way....but you'd think Nintendo would realize that friends would have wii u's as well, and have access to more than one gamepad.....again.....I'm in love with wii u....it's really not a big deal....but I just don't see why a system can't handle another gamepad as a controller instead of a pro controller.....like for say....split screen zombies.....Not really stupid as additional Gamepads aren't available yet and of they were they would be fairly expensive.

I think you're assuming way too much. The majority of people out there probably only have access to their own Gamepad. The number if people who can get hold of a second one is going to be small in comparison. There is no point devoting development time and resources to such a small market. Nintendo also has no control on third party developers and Zombi U being a Ubisoft developed and published game they would have to provide such support which at the moment is not worth there while. That's why the local multiplayer supports a Gamepad and a pro controller.
