 The Flood Bump is a glitch that involves intersecting the player with a Flood Combat Form.  When this happens, the game engine will not allow the player to be inside an object and will teleport the player out of the object.  This technique has been used to glitch through doors on The Library or to the Keyes cutscene on Keyes.
-Flood Combat Forms sometimes get back up once they die; these Flood Combat Forms are called "Revivers."  When they die, they have no collision with player movement so the player can stand on top of the corpse.  However, when the Combat Form revives, it will regain its unit collision.  If the player is standing on top of the corpse as the Combat Form resurrects itself, the player will end up glitched inside the Combat Form.  Afterwards, the game engine will teleport the player out of the Combat Form.

This can be used to teleport through walls/doors/other barriers.

 ===Slide Jumping===
 Slide jumping is a movement technique that can be utilized to move quickly.  This trick is fairly simple; while falling onto sloped terrain or slanted objects, jump as soon as your character makes contact with the terrain or object.  Your character will bounce off the terrain/object and convert your character's downward velocity into forward velocity.

 ===Crouch Jumping===
 By crouching at the top of a jump, you can pull your feet up, increasing the distance between the ground and your character.  This allows your character to reach ledges that would be inaccessible to normal jumps.

+Muscle Running effectively grants the player infinite sprint.  While sprinting, jump and melee.  Before you hit the ground, tap sprint, and you will continue sprinting.
 Muscle Running utilizes the mechanics of how sprint recharges in Halo 4.  When the player stops sprinting, his sprint will start recharging the instant that he stops sprinting, meaning the player can immediately sprint after stopping.  However, if the player jumps, he will maintain his forward velocity, though he is still sprinting while mid-air.  Therefore, in order to end the sprint before hitting the ground, a melee is used to end the sprint mid-air so the player's sprint starts recharging before he hits the ground.  Once the player hits the ground, he can start sprinting again.

If the player is in contact with this object, the spin of this object will push the player with a large amount of force.

 In order to delay a checkpoint, the player can melee, jump, have no shields, receive fire, or be near a grenade.  The game will not give the player a checkpoint while he is doing one of these actions as these actions are commonly associated with combat, and the game algorithms will delay the checkpoint to prevent the player from being stuck in a trap where they die instantly after reverting over and over.
