The Halo 4 cutscenes, unlike the pre-rendered Halo Anniversary cutscenes, appear in-game in surround sound - and that's how we're making them available to you. (Thanks, as always, to Cody Miller for his stellar recording services.) If you don't have a surround sound rig, these degrade nicely to normal stereo.

As of March, 2016, these are now available in 1080p max resolution, and 60fps (with a couple of exceptions).

As of July, 2022, the majority of these are available in 4K max resolution (still 60fps). We shouldn't really need to say it again... but thanks, Cody.

You can view a streaming version of the cutscene by clicking on a thumbnail.
