Hello, Spartan 135521 here saying this:
Wow! Active camo! Believe you can sneak past any enemy and get that flag?
WRONG!
Lets just take the nature man approach:
As the Spartan grabs the Active Camo he goes to the highest peak, hopeing to snipe some enemys. A sniper shot goes right past him. The Spartan stands still, hoping to become invisible.
WRONG!
If you get the Active Camo, still, try to be sneaky like you would if you didnt have the Active Camo. This has been a word of advice from Spartan 135521.

Certain video cards (usually the low-end cards) don't render the active camo correctly, and it stands out like a sore thumb.

Hehe, ya, but even WITH a good graphics card (assuming that everyone in the server had one), they could still see you in invisi.

Here's what invisi looks like when I use it:

Even though it's near invisible, people can still see you if they have crappy video cards, like what lggwilv said.

Oh, and about that too. That "sniping ledge" in BG isn't really great. Play with good players and every time you try to get up there you'll die.

Heh. We've got a guide for every little tactic in MP. I like this pattern.

I'm actually surprised at how often I can hide from people in Halo. The game wasn't really designed to be a first person sneaker like the Thief series. But there've been a few times where I'm standing close to a tree with no camo, and a banshee flys right by without even a second look. Then they wonder where that sticky nade came from and call me a cheater.
