Hey everyone,

I wanted to know, why do I always see my guys (spartans) in gray in multiplayer online, and not in red and blue. If anyone can tell how to correct this, it would be grealty appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Post your computer specs, especially your video card.

It is most likely that your graphic/video card is not of high-enough quality. However, this should not effect gameplay in any way other than seeing gray spartans. i just recently purchased a new HP pc that works great with Halo and other games; but, with my previous PC, which I purchased 2 or 3 years ago, had the same problem that your computer is having.

All I can suggest is that you buy a new quality video card if this bothers you severly; otherwise, just stick with what you've got.

Well the gray doesnt really bother me that much, just surprised that its not really "red vs blue", lol. Anyways i think this is the info - its intel 3D AGP Graphics card. Thanks for your advice and time.

Yep integrated Intel graphics not very good at handling Halo. Lower your settings and add -useff to the end of your command line for Halo that might help. You will be able to play but it won't look that good. When I first started playing on my old comp I thought Blood Gulch was a dreary grey canyon. I got my new comp and logged in to Blood Gulch and sat there mesmerized by the bright red clay walls and emerald-colored grass. My trance was broken by the thunderous sound of an A/R as the enemy hosed me down.

Lol, if he has what he says he has, its not integrated. You should still look for updated drivers.
