Odd NTSC/PAL issue

When we posted the ‘Hot Pursuit’ cutscene (with the Heretic escaping in a Banshee), Jillybean mentioned that whenever SHE watched the scene, the Heretic crashed into a wall before flying away. I’d never seen this – but a couple of other Europeans agreed, that’s the way it was for them. This seems to be a timing issue, based on the PAL/NTSC differences. (I thought Bungie had removed that particular constraint from the game… guess I was wrong.) BOLL was kind enough to send along some footage – I’ve put up small versions of the PAL cutscene (QuickTime and WMP9), so you can see the difference. Weird! Update: At least two PAL users have chimed in to say that the crashing does NOT happen on their Xboxes. Bottom line – we have no idea why he crashes for some people.
