heres what im thinking...after i saw that cutscene in halo wars(monsters) where those 3 spartans fight a bunch of elites, and forge fights the arbiter i started wondering what if they had something like that in reach seeing all of those spartans in action,or the space battle that took place over reach.Cause i was realizing that all of the other halo games dont have any real action cutscenes in them.What do u think?

CGI Cutscenes > In-game quality cutscenes IMO. They can just do so much more, and when they add some action into them, it's great.

The reason that they don't have a bunch of actiony cutscenes, and why they don't have amazingly high graphics in Halo Wars, is because how they make cutscenes. In every Halo game, except Halo Wars, for the cutscenes they actually animate the characters to do what's in the video, so the cutscenes will only be as good as the characters in-game. In Halo Wars, because they didn't have the characters, they started more from scratch and were able to make the amazng cutscenes.

Quixoticelixer might, but I probably will not fix your bike.

along with this, who would want to watch a fight when they can fight a fight?

I agree with Tibetz: I would rather have my Spartan do what they did on Monsters in game than have to watch it in a cutscene.

Or it's just pre rendered CGI in halo wars, which is what it is.
