I'm not convinced by the camera, i like being able to talk to people on live but to see them (and for them to see me, not a pretty site) , i'm not so sure.
How much bandwidth will the camera take away from the game, i know that the games that use it are not exactly hogging the bandwidth at the moment, but what about something like co-op ghost recon using a camera to see you team. _________________________________________________________

I certainly don't have an issue with webcams, they tend to be quite fun most fo the time.
But I would have to say that I doubt (at present) you would get FPS type games where latency is a major issue using a webcam. The closest you will get is using the cam to setup a realistic profile. But more to the point what would being able to see your team members face actually add to the game? (besides more latency)
It would be far more useful to be able to have a small vid-hud (like in single player GR) where you can swap to each team member to see what they are seeing. But then you have to issue of campers and exploits.
But having said that, it would bring a whole new dimension into team games where each team really would have to use each members skills to the max, its just that it will be abused to the point where it could make the games unfair.
This reminds me of my admin days where you would have a highly ranked team play a relatively unknown team only for the high ranking team to get totally devastated by this much lesser team..
Straight off the back there where screams of They are cheating.. AIMBot!! See through walls hack..!! this list goes on. But all in all it turned out that the lesser team was (at the time) using a completely new tool to play online which was live chat through Roger Wilco which allowed them the edge.
Another nice little tool was Game Commander that allows you to use voice activation to issue commands such as throw grenade, duck, jump.. All give you the edge without really cheating. And I believe the new wireless headset will support something like this, but only in specific games and I doubt it would be allowed online.
I played GR in a clan for nearly 3 years and certainly didn't need a cam in any type games we ever played, just voice chat. _________________________________________________________ JAy3k1
