Well playing through the campaign mode on all the difficulty settings, I found a bunch of cheats/glitches/secrets.
On the level "Assault on the Control Room(5)" when Echoe419 drops you off, once you get out of the Pelican and before you touch the ground, you will see the "Press 'E' to get in Pelican" message appear. Quickly do that and the Pelican will leave with you in it. If you stay in the Pelican you will fall to your death after a while, but if you hop out at the right time you can jump all the way to the bottom of the pit and the Pelican will be half sunk in the ground. The message "Press 'E' to flip Pelican" will appear but nothing will happen if you press it.
On the fist bridge in AotCR, when "Fire Team: Charley"'s Pelican flies over, you can jump in the back of it by pressing 'E' when the command appears. There is no Warthog below, but you can get in a Ghost and finish the rest of the level with no enemies.
On the level "Keys", when you are forced to leave the ship by jumping into the coolant, you can crouch-jump onto some broken pipes hanging out to the left of the pit. Crouch-jump again to get to the other side. You can go through the door on the right and easily complete the rest of the mission.
When "343 Guilty Spark" first starts, start throwing grenades out of your dropship to stay in it. It will take off, crash, than you must get out. Walk around to find Private Mendoza standing in a clearing. You will also see Flood Combat Forms jumping around for a second before they dissapear.
To hear some hidden music in AotCR, get a Banshee and fly up to the middle bracket that supports the central pillar going up to the top of the canyon. Land the Banshee on it, get out and walk over to the ledge on the right. After a few seconds you will hear piano music playing. Its music from Myth and is written by Marty O'Donnel.
Three weapons are actually available at one time on "The Pillar of Autumn". When you get the pistol from Keys, run toward the checkpoint. If you hurry, pick up an assault rifle, kill an Elite or Grunt and pick up his gun. Go back to the Bridge and get ammo for the pistol. You now have three guns that reload, shoot, and exchange normally.
If you have any other cheats that you know of, please post them here.
