i used to have serious issues with people who screen looked. after all, who enjoys playing a game when every time you step into a teleporter you have a rocket in your face? i have finally come to the conclusion that it is unavoidable. even if you actively keep your eyes glued to your half/quarter of the screen, there's this thing called peripheral vision. the little bit of information i can gather through that is enough to give me an edge. so am i supposed to put blinders on like a horse? and what about sounds? after all, if you can hear the other guy pick up a weapon/powerup, isn't that the same as screen looking? you're determining the enemies position through a means that isn't supposed to be available to you. what could it be called, sound listening, or something? so, while i don't condone actively doing it, i also can't fault someone for doing it. because i do it, albeit inadvertantly, and on a lesser scale than others. anyone who says they do not take advantage from it at all, is full of monkey spunk. it is unavoidable. unless you suffer from some serious tunnel vision.
