1) If you were using a controller previously then using the keyboard and mouse set up, then it might be a little fustrating the first few days playing, but you'll get use to it.
2) OK, basicly the servers tell you if your modding, and you'll see it when you see the servers with weird symbols in theres names and with the word Modded, those servers are usually maddness, with many many tanks, items placed outside levels, but hey sometimes its fun just ot use massive power weapons. :)
3)Nahh man, its free, but like the above, only your ISP bill.
4)Hopefully you have a dsl connection or else your gonna have high pings and some warping or maybe a ton of warping. However if you do have dsl, then make sure you have a good framerate so it'll be more smooth than the xbox version and it'll appear theres no lag. However then theres the netcode, becasue the company who ported the game screwed it up, you have to lead your shots in front of where the guy goes. Pratice it and it'll become second nature. This is becasue it takes a while even with a ping of 67 a while for the bullet to register into the game to know the person was hit.
However this has two bonuses, one it separaes the unskilled and newbish people from the average players, and from the average from the skilled players, and from the skilled to the expert players, and from the experts to the god-like players. :)
Second, it helps to cut down on cheating as the usual aim botting will not work due to the leading you have to do, this combined with the difficulty of trying to hack on halo due to its unique code makes it one of the most cheat free games in the history modern gaming! :)
