I see problems in Myth. The biggest problem was the exploitation of the
chain lightning bug, but that's been fixed. 

Myth is pretty devoid of "strategy hole exploitation" problems. My biggest
beef with online play is the immaturity of the people on Bungie.net. A lot
of guys are great, but some immature individuals spoil it for others. These
are the folk who jump out of games in mid play, throw explitives around, or
"cheat" by setting up out-of-game pacts so that he and his buddy increase
their chances of winning. There's no real way of getting around this, short
of not playing multiplayer games.

The only way I can see it is for closed games where you let in the people
you want to play with. This, of course, results in elitist cliques, which
tends to turn other people off.
