I just completed the level where you try to get Captain Key's CNI and somthing weird happend. I ran through the halls as countless Covanant and Flood kept attacking and when i saw the door that opens to the room keys is in that big flood blob, i just said "screw these guys" and just ran into the room not taking time to shoot at anyone. When i got up the ramp to the platform where captain keys is at the gameplay stopped and a short movie of master chief puching into the blob to find the captain's CNI began. When i was watching the movie a combat form was behind master chief hitting him. It was funny to see this because the movie just continued, then the combat form killed master chief. But you could still hear him and cortana talking like nothing happend. Then when gameplay started agian i saw the combat form and killed it, and i also saw the dead master chief. I just laughed and continued onward, killed everything in my way till i got to the end of the hall way and then i heard the captain groan and then cortana said "his vitals are fading please chief hurry" It was amusing and i just wanted to know if anyone else had this happen to them.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

Yes, that can happen. The cinematic is made the same ay as the Halo 3 trailer was, ie, it uses the actual place you are in in the game and just controls the characters. So, if a flood is next to you when you activate the scene, it will be in the cinematic, much like if you take a banshee to the control room in AOTCR it will appear behind you.

That is very cool. I have never had it happen to me before. Something similar happened to me on Descent: Merciniary. That is funnily cool.
