What do all of you think of this? Do you look? Do you not?
I look occasionally, especially on Halo where the motion tracker sucks ass =p
My Nephew stopped playing with me after that. 
I seem to be the only friggin' gamer in my family... except for my nephew Connor who I am oh-so-slowly molding in this My image. 
But, he's only eight and he doesn't have an Xbox.

Batty attempted to be funny by writing:
I thought looking at the other person's screen was part of the game. Especially in split screen if you don't have extra TVs. I mean shit, it's not like I can help noticing I'm in your sights in split screen.
See, I think that too. And it's not like you still can't sneak up or snipe anyone, with 4 little screens, it's hard to even keep track of yourself!
It's not hard to keep from seeing the other screens...
It's not something people hear about.

Sean spewed forth this undeniable truth:
I go so far as to punch someone in the head as a distraction if they have gotten the jump on me in-game.
Then there's the old "Yank the controller out of the socket" trick.
Particularly easy with X-Box's breakaway cords.

I looked constantly when playing games like Perfect Dark or Goldeneye. It's just part of the game for me. Used to watch everyone's guns/crosshairs to see both where they were, and to dodge their shots when fighting.
Ditto
I watched my friends' screens when I play Halo as well, but then again I've only played that game twice
Oh I went there.
Otherwise... it's more of a distraction.

For me, at least, looking at the other guy's screen ruins the fun of the game. I'd much rather get a kill because I was quicker on the draw, or effectively executed a surprise attack, rather than because I saw the enemy coming around the corner on his screen.

Rage Wars was pretty fun too.
There's nothing quite as fun as grabbing some weapon (say, the Death Ball, for example) and hearing the person next to go "Oh shit".

He knows. He's just taking a shot at everyone who even expressed any effort in making that distinction, along with letting it be a subtle hint that he would rather not acknowledge a Nintendo product.

For the most part, though, I don't sweat it. I turn it into the fun. I've got Wes into trash talking, so now we banter back and forth when we grab guns, find ideal positions, etc.
