Have you ever been in a situation where you just by random chance glance at an opponents screen when they have a scope on your head? My friends think screenreading is a load of *blam*, but its almost automatic for me. i usually get beaten up or teamed up on because of it. what do you think?

Ya, its cheap, but hard to prevent 100% when screens are less than 1 in. apart

hmmi may finally have met my match at spelling errors and yes you can do that but most people don't have 2 XBOX's sitting around so yes it is a problem and yes it does happen to me but it usually happens while you aern't finghting and you have nothing better to do than look at a person's screen because, lets face it, running all the way across blood gulch is boring.

dude if your all playing on one tv screen watching is inevitable. also its a part of the game, even a skill if your good enough, so either get another box, or learn to screen watch better than whoever your playing with and beat them at thier own game.

I dont think its ur fault. Seriously my friend and i have been playing together forever and its developed into a natural instinct. I look at my screen and even out of the edge of my eye I can see the other screen and I know exactly where he is at any time. It cant be helped besides the system link. Totally not your fault.

I agree. If everyone's on the same box, I always screen-read. It's just unavoidable. However, if it's a system-link game, I don't. Screen-reading then gets you killed because you pay too much attention to the people on your screen and not enough to the person right behind you.

Personally though... I do prefer one person to a screen games when I get the rare chance to play them ;-)
