Halo PC is not unfair and I've have experienced what you mentioned. I get killed when I join every game and I'm not there to see it even sometimes. But if a person hates lag then they will probably uipdate their computer to get rid of it. They could also stay away from laggy games and be second or third in a game. Their isn't any lag until four or more players join.

It's unfair if someone has an NVIDIA card, as active camo doesn't work on those, and they see white instead.

That's not all Nvidia cards. There is also atleast one ATI card that does the same (9100 if I'm remembering right).

As for there being an unfair advantage as far as better computers versus lesser computers I don't think it's that great. While a better computer will run it smoother and prettier, both still have to deal with the same crippling lag. Another point is that a better computer always runs the newest software better, that's not something new and a fact that's always existed in games before this. A newer and better computer is going to handle programs faster, such is the nature of computing and NOT something that you can complain about.

The 9100 isn't a DX9 card. All FX ones are.

well my pc isnt gr8 (amd xp 1700), and neither is my graphics card (g4 440mx)

and i dont think the advantage is very big @ all, as i can beat people with much better computers and inet connections then what i have

personally i think that alot of people who moan about it (lag) when there is none, are just making excuses, yeah its fine if there is just not when there isnt

I find that connections, while different, do produce some lag... by far, I find the mouse that you use is the main problem in games- it's difficult to get good aim when your mouse can go on the spaz/otherwise.

The one thing thats unfair is that the Host never lags, and owns everyone. I hate people who personally host 16 people games and everyones ping is like 9000.
