12 Times Movies Got Video Games Wrong

4. Halo 5...On PC? - Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation

An early scene in the fifth Mission: Impossible movie shows Benji (Simon Pegg) playing an advance copy of Halo 5: Guardians while working at his swanky new job.

The whole scene is just a mess of confused inputs and ideas. For starters, Benji is playing the game on a triple-monitor set-up, which isn't supported by the Xbox One and therefore flat-out impossible (if not false advertising).

And though you would be forgiven for assuming that Benji was actually playing Halo 5 on PC - as implied by us never seeing him switch inputs from console to PC when he gets back to work - the game was in fact never given a full PC release.

Plus, when Benji opens a drawer, we catch a brief glimpse of the game's Xbox One case. What an incredibly odd sequence from start to finish.
