Developers have always found ways to disguise the loading times in games, the most popular of which is a particularly long elevator ride. 343 Industries employed such a tactic for players who log into the PC version ofHalo Infinite multiplayerby giving them a loading screen in the form of the 343 Industries logo.
However, tech savvy Twitter user@jasonlambhas discovered that the loading screen is just a video that can be replaced to play any video your heart desires. He illustrates it by replacing the bland loading screens with one of the most iconic movies in movie history.

In addition, there is no limit to how long the video could be, but keep in mind, you can’t playHalo Infiniteuntil the video finishes playing, so you might want to avoid going overboard.
Hey.Did you know that unskippable XBOX / 343 Industries startup sequence is just a video? And that it’s hardcoded to only finish when the video is finished? And that technically you could force someone to watch the entirety Joel Schumacher’s ‘Batman & Robin’ every time?pic.twitter.com/cBgrwEs89JHey.Did you know that unskippable XBOX / 343 Industries startup sequence is just a video?
