They're Random, Baby!

Halo Cutscene Library

WAAAY behind schedule, this Cutscene Library for Halo: Combat Evolved began to appear online in late May, 2005 - three and a half years after the game was released. All we can really say is... better late than never!

Starting in July, 2008, we've added HD versions of these cutscenes, courtesy of HaLo2FrEeEk, of Infectionist Machinima.

In this case, 'HD' is 720p.
