Halo Graphics Problem

Okay, if you've played Halo, you know what active camofluage is right? You know how it's supposed to bend the light? Well, for me it doesn't. Here's what it looks like for me... That's almost impossible to spot when they are moving arround or really close to me. Far away is hard as hell too. Any ideas? I've got an nVidia FX5200 128mb PCI video card and I've got the latest drivers for it.

nvidia cards won't render it properly for some reason. Other nVidia cards render the camoflauged character as a dark blue.

This is what MS says:

Nicholas, I checked the screenshot that you have provided with regard to this
issue. At this point of time I want to let you know that the issue which you are
experiencing right now also can be replicated at our end.

Well, this issue is being occurred due to the limitation that is with the video
card that you are using (NVIDIA FX 5200). This specific video card does not
support one of the features of the game that is Pixel Shader with a version of
2.0.

It looks like you're out of luck with that card. That is one of many reasons that the Nvidia FX series cards are considered below par compared to the ATI offerings.
