Can you see how small it is compared to how big it should be? The infinity is supposed to be almost double the length of the spirit of fire, but it isn’t.
The ship was also flying very slowly, if i be generous and say it was flying at 200mph, it would of taken a full 1.5 minutes to fully fly passed chief, however it took around 5-8 seconds, this suggests that its traveling at around almost 500mph, although it’s impossible to tell, it certainly doesn’t seem to be flying that fast.
It is that big. It was probably higher in the sky though than you think (and directly above him), so it gave the illusion that its smaller. This is reffered to as the Moon Illusion .
I also agree with SpreadJoeman123, 3 miles is actually quite a short distance.

What are you using as a frame of reference? Do you know the size of the buildings/ships around it, or how distant it is?
I hadn’t thought about that, but you’re right. I think this is a case of performance limitations – designing the Infinity to be three miles long would make it a massive set piece in any scene that it’s in. The one that flies over in that cinematic probably isn’t three miles long. A good solution that I hope 343i has already implemented (given that they’re thoroughly entrenched in the polish and bug stages of development) is to add a layer of gray to it; give it the look like it’s that much farther away. But yeah, it shouldn’t pass overhead so quickly even so. I think it would’ve been interesting if the cinematic took longer, with Chief in the Infinity’s shadow for something like six full seconds. Meh.
