Screen Peeking for me. Screen looking doesn't roll off the tongue as well.

The weirdest I've heard is screen hacking. That just sounds dumb...

In my house and my town among my friends we call it screen peeping. And if anyone gets caught doing it, everyone else gangs up on them, even if they happen to be on your team.


(P.S. I have just passed my driving theory test!!!! Just thought I'd share that with the group.)

Normally something along the lines of "stop lookin at my screen you dick"

It gets propper annoying sometimes cos my mate is a veteran screen looker and i always get killed from absolutely nowhere when playing split screen with him. bastard...

Screen-peeking is an important meta-game aspect of the split screen fps. Those who don't utilize the ability to look at their opponents screen are crippling themselves and missing out on a very good opportunity to Troll their friends.

Guy 1: You are totally looking at my screen!?
Guy 2: Problem?

I equate screen peeking to forming a strong deck for competitions when it comes to card games, The composition of your armies for Warhammer 40K, as well as hundreds of other things that I can copy paste from the Tvtropes entry on Meta-gaming.

Screen Watching, I just like the way the word watching makes it seem to be a much more insidious crime.

I remember my friend once had to resort to putting an ironing board up between the screens to stop another guy screen watching, haha so I suppose you could call it iron defying!

'grallu filtbasis' is the captcha's suggestion.

Ghosting.

If I were to choose any of the poll options, I'd have to say 'screen cheating' though.

They're a screen watcher. It's what I get accused of most by my friends. But I just say "hey, if it's there in front of my face I can't help but see it and of course you're welcome to look at mine". Thing is when you're playing 1v1 CoD on most maps you can run around the entire map and only bump into somebody 2 or 3 times and that's too boring for me to bear. Especially when they're camping bastards.
