Well, an immediately obvious solution to this potential problem would be to tie plot points to the passage of the player through in-game time, rather than in-game space. However, this raises the additional problem that whilst each individual player can control the rate with which they pass thorough the in-game space (and that this movement will be affected by various obstacles), they cannot control the rate at which they pass through in-game time. I can't wait to see how Bungie has dealt with this. The apparent plot of Halo, above and beyond other factors, is the reason I find it so attractive.
