Anybody with half a brain knows that bungie did not render this in real time otherwise we'd see all kinds of visual inperfections from the cpu slowing down. They probably told their engine to output to disk one frame at a time and then mixed the audio back in either from the "realtime" run at low quality or from a audio track already mixed in sync with the timecodes.
(Unless they got one of those new 4 processor PPC boards for Linux, using a Nvidia Card and have secretly been building it for Unix first. Maybe thats what the Xbox runs on? http://www.totalimpact.com/G3_MP.html )
Prove me wrong by releasing a beta of Halo Bungie, but I think I'm right.

That's a girl for ya, she secretly wants to be a ballerina from her youth. Unless the girl speaking is the AI?

Did you see as that Jeep fell to the ground, you could see the crt screen flip from the camera being out of phase with the jeep's monitor refresh rate. Just like the in the real world. Probably just an animated loop.

Also, at that same time, notice that red dot on the transport ship, My first thoughts were that it was an Apple Logo. I'm not sure what it is.

Also can't see those dead aliens on the hill as the transport is pirouetting.
