From IamTOOLBOX:
In this video, I show you how to get into the cutscene where the hole gets blown into the ship and the Master Chief flies into it. It’s a cool area to explore, though there is next to nothing solid.
This trick was originally found by cupcake lover69, so I don’t take full credit for finding this!How to Get inside the Midnight Cutscene Area – A Halo 4 Trick

Early placeholder cutscenes found
LordZedd forced some placeholder cutscenes to spawn – and discovered that the original versions packed more punch, according to some viewers, than the final release versions! gamerguy2002 pointed out all three – the Librarian cutscene, the Introduction to Lasky, and the end of Infinity. Even if you don’t like them as much as what was released in-game, it’s fascinating to see the evolution of the story!(Louis Wu 20:20:23 UTC)

Halo 4 Matchmaking Update: 4.22.13
This week, Regicide and Grifball have been updated with optimized settings and maps. To create a more consistent gameplay experience, the king’s bounty in Regicide has been adjusted to always be a static 20 points, regardless of length of reign, kills acquired, etc. Also, Complex has been removed from the map rotation, and the following maps have been added:
Landfall
Dispatch
Simplex
ScytheGrifballers will be happy to hear that the Grifball playlist has been updated to reflect the most current community settings used by the GrifballHub community. Those of you who get hammered on a regular basis will notice that the game type has been tweaked to create better balance between the weapons, and that Grifball and Grifball Pro now have identical shield, damage, damage resistance and radar settings. Grifball will continue to have one continuous round with auto-pickup turned on, while Grifball Pro will have five individual rounds with auto-pickup turned off. Also, four of the Grifball courts have received repairs and tweaks to create the most balanced playing experience. These tweaks includes repairs, removal of exploitable areas, kill zone fixes and more.
The score limit for Multi-Team has also been bumped up from 300 points (30 kills) to 500 points, to provide the most optimal game length and experience.
We hope you enjoy these updated Halo 4 War Games experiences, and we encourage you to leave your feedback in the War Games Feedback section.
