In case it hasn't been said yet, I think this is what the picture is of (from weekly update 6/22/07 posted by lukems)
I propped the same build to my box and cheated my way to the part in question with the quickness. Then, because its debug code and we have tons cheatz at our disposal, I detached the camera from first-person and watched the spectacle unfold from a third-person perspective, with a free roaming camera (guided by my analog sticks). Here’s what I saw: The heat of a thousand suns being reflected in real-time off the Master Chief’s visor and the world being consumed by a huge white blast, blotting out everything on the horizon with white heat. And this is, as Rob pointed out, is going to be roughly half a million times cooler than it is right now.
This answers some questions I observed on the first few pages which were scattered amongst the "FIRST PAGE" and "OOPS I CRAPPED MY PANTS"
1) gameplay
2) THE master chief, just in a free-camera perspective
3) Gears of what indeed- I bet he captured this screen shot back then (working smart, not hard) and the final product will be cooler yet.
My 2c

from the same weekly update:
Lorraine McLees has been working on culling screenshots from a series of multiplayer and campaign scenarios that we’ve played – my contribution to these sessions usually amounts to little more than running around, driving stuff, killing dudes and getting killed
