I've used two different laptops through my years on Halo PC. The first was a now-defunct Athlon 1.6. with a generic ATI integrated, the second (my current one) is a Turion1.8 with an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M.
When playing on the old computer, camo was relatively easy to see; it gave the shock of people's lives when I'd come charging in with a shotgun and blow the head off a perfectly poised, camo'ed sniper. With my new setup, though, camo's much easier to see...it actually looks like invisibility instead of a visible outline.
In short, yes; the more powerful your GPU, the more a disadvantage you have.
I find that line to be partly misleading. You can always disable Radeon style camo, and the annoying scope blurs, easily. You get more of an "advantage", because of better/smoother FPS and all. Shadows concealing snipers, and causes them to be a hassle? Easy solution: Just turn the darn thing off in the options.
Right, but after playing on my old lappy for 2 years, it's so damned schmexy to just admire the translucency of the camo.
