I just notice this. I could be really really late on this one but.....
Bungies "O Brave New World" is a reference to Shakespeares "The Tempest"
I also notice (thanks to sparknotes)

Lightning cracks, and the mariners cry that the ship has been hit. Everyone prepares to sink.
The next scene begins much more quietly. Miranda and Prospero stand on the shore of their island, looking out to sea at the recent shipwreck. Miranda asks her father to do anything he can to help the poor souls in the ship.
The first thing that came to mind was the opening of Halo: CE.
The covenant attack the ship (Lighting Cracks). Mariners Cry (Keyes putting the ship on High Alert). Everyone prepares the escape pods (Everyone prepares to sink). Chief lands on halo and the first mission is saving the marines (Miranda asks her father to do anything he can to help the poor souls).
