Some can come away from reading "War and Peace" thinking it a simple adventure story, while others can read the ingredients on a gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.

I thought it would be cool if cutscenes where made by actual actors, like a Halo movie. At the end of every cutscene the view would switch to the main character, seeing everything as he sees it. Then as the cutscene ends it "morphs" into the game. So if the character sees a bunch of ODST in front of him when it ends (actors) it all morphs into the exact same setting, except the 3D generated game. Starting right where the cutscene leaves off.

How so? It would be like the ODST live action trailer, morphing into the game.

Bungie always uses the engine for cutscenes. If you make cutscenes as something other than that, you lose the immersion factor. Plus, we don't want Halo to be like Final Fantasy or anything.
