: you to Halo.
: Enjoy.

I prefer the way it ends up in the final product: No dialogue, no pacing cut, just the shining reveal of the Ziggurat from the eyes of the Master Chief, when out of the blue, Flood spores fall from the sky, and you suddenly realize the Gravemind has followed you here in sheer desperation. I felt like Frodo staring up at Mount Doom in the game, coming near the end of the journey -- while Gollum follows in the form of a lovecraftian abomination. Or an annoying bastard with a blue eye.

This cutscene cuts the pacing and take longer to show story elements that in the previous cutscene it does better at establishing for the mission.
