dont think you can do that. halo doesnt have a tag that i know of that can play back video lol. only videos that even play in the game are the ending with 343 guilty spark and the opening things.

There's only 1 way to that, but maybe gonna take much work and time.

Creating animations, BSP's, shaders, and bitmaps. Maybe more than 2 weeks or A MONTH!

Whatever happened to this "avi to sequenced-bitmap converter" that someone from years ago mentioned?

Do you know how much space that would take up for a bitmap? The map would crash.

considering 1 frame = about 500kb and 30 frames per second, do the math.

500*30= 15000 kb per second.
Usually the things are around 3 mins?
1 min = 15000*60 = 900000
3 min = 900000*3 = 2700000 kb.

Hey, looky here, 15 mb per second, and 900 mb per minute, not to mention that tool wont even compile anything this large.

plus if think of the tag work youd have to do... ridiculous...
and tool wont allow for that many texture pages if you did use them.
