As EvilPickles said, it might be your lack of RAM (Random Acess Memory). Not only does having little RAM cause framerates-per-second (FPS) to drop during Halo Campaign, and Halo Multiplayer, it can also wreak havoc on those cutscenes, by making the characters move their lips faster than the words, or vice versa, and also the infamous "cutscene freeze" and/or low FPS during cutscenes.

You want to get at least 1 Gig (1000 MB) of RAM before you start to enjoy Halo. Hell, even 512 MB will be a nice improvement.

512 is more than enough for Halo. It's the graphics card that needs to be able to diss out a punch or two or three or four ;)

First, we'll need your system specs, not only your RAM amount. Secondly, do you have a decent graphics card? Or do you have a crappy one. Because crappy cards provides you with low FPS, and constant freezings.

On-board graphics cards can do the same thing.

Cool! Another Mac user! Welcome to the Maw!

Try getting more RAM or a better graphics card, like the others said. Also, try turning down the resoluton Halo plays at, and turn down the effects all the way, and lower the sound quality. That might help your framerate to go faster.
