Halo for Cutscenes

What? There's no way using Halo's engine for cutscenes would be a "gyp" (by the way, I think you're the first person I've ever seen spell that correctly ...). It is higher quality than nearly any cutscenes I've seen from any game except for the REALLY big-budget ones such as Final Fantasy, etc, where half of Japan is on the credits list. I'd say they would certainly be even better than Starcraft's, which I consider pretty damn good.

As those stupid internet abbreviatons go, though, YMMV.

And the real point is the cost would be below 1/2 (I'm guessing) - possibly way less - so you'd be making a hell of a deal production-wise if you were on the typical 2 - 3 million dollar budget that most relatively small - medium companies are on now.
