Usually I play eight through sixteen player team games, so naturally, screen watching isnt a problem and helps, as we're on the same team. When we arent, however, screen watching, I believe, isnt cheating. Its there and no one can stop you, and is like a second motion tracker. If you complain about others watching your screen, just watch theirs.

It's irrisistable, theres no way of stopping it and generally if someones says they're not they are.

It's only cheap to those who don't know how to do it.

sceen watching is an art form and as the post above says its only cheap if you use it on someone who cant do it. One on ones are great with screen watching as you can make tactiful manuvers to match the weapons, position, health and ammo of your oppnent along with noticing other small things like grenades and amount of shield. battles with people who can screen watch are epic battles.

Master Chief isn't telepathic, You can't see an Elite's screen when playing in Campaign can you? Then Screen Watching is Cheating Cheap and Highly offensive. If you actually have any skills, it's unecessary anyway...

And that's the biggest load of manure I've ever smelled. Screen Watchers have long firefights because they are CHEATING and are moving AWAY from the other players SIGHTS. True Halo Skill, 3 headshots with the pistol. Melee from behind.

Quick, deadly, like a soldier.

Not like a pansy.

i think i shall defend screen watching. As you say the m.c cannot see through an elites eyes in real life however, its a game ITS A GAME! and thus my single point is i watch his screen, he watches my screen, we both react to each others movements as they happen and whalla wahalla bing bong epic war and a bit. i defend screen watching as it is an artfull game in its own right however it differes from link up play and both i find enjoyable though different but watching other players does get you used to the habits of your friends but i like to think they are used to my habits too.
some people dont do it cos they dont have enough talent to watch more than one screen, well HA you lack in skill and HA it does not impare my ablity to play without watching screens HA HA HA its hard to watch 4 screens at once but someone with true skill and might can and if you cant dont cry about it and call everyone cheaters, go get a link cable or something you yaps.
