At halo.bungie.org, there is the GNF series, where people compete to complete the levels the fastest.

anyway, in Truth&Recon, the guy who did it trigger the last cutscene in the middle of another cutscene. When Cortana and the Captain is talking and basically the Captain said he can fly the Covenant Ship, this is where the cutscene with the MC pressing the hologram screen came up.

So, my question is do you know how this was done? Here is the link:

Go down to that level and download the video and watch it. You'll know what i'm talking about. Thanks for the patience...

I didnt look at the video cause i hate dial u[p, but i think i know what your talking about, and I have done it to. I did it by accident, but i guess there is a way, when you enter the control room and fight the elites, sometimes an elite opens one of the doors when he gets close enough. when its open you can run though it and finsh the game while teh captin is still talking with cortana

There was discussion about this over at the HBO forums, the game triggers the cutscene when the third floor of the docking bay and the tunnels between it and the ships control room is clear of enemies.

When the grenade jump is done, a loadpoint is skipped, like in AotCR, this loadpoint makes enemies spawn. No loadpoint=no enemies=early cutscene. Easy maths, huh?
