During the development of ''[[Halo 4]]'', a number of maps were concepted and partially-developed though cut from the game for various reasons. Many of these maps were concepted by company [https://www.digitalextremes.com/ Digital Extremes], contracted by [[343 Industries]] to help with the production of the game's [[Downloadable content|DLC]] map packs. A number of map ideas and concepts were pitched to 343 but went unused, and have since been released online.

A number of map ideas and concepts were pitched to 343 but went unused, and have since been released online.
Many of these early level blockouts can be found in the ''Halo 4'' tags build - an early prototype of the game leaked online including many early ''Halo 4'' DLC and non-DLC maps, development and testing levels and even several early levels intended for ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' - which can be found detailed [[Cut Halo 5: Guardians levels|here]]. The maps found in the tags build exhibit very early geometry and basic blockouts with very little art or set-dressing, and contain placeholder names and descriptive text - often comprised of jokes written by the game's developers.

===Forerunner City===
{{Quote|Enter description here.}}
An original map design developed by Certain Affinity and given the filename <code>CA_City</code>, was presumably intended to resemble a [[Forerunner]] city. Interestingly, the top-down layouts of this map heavily resemble the [[Castle Map Pack]] map [[Perdition]] in layout.
===Dish===
===Dish===
An original map design developed by [[Certain Affinity]] and referred to as "Dish" can be found in the tags build. The map takes the form of a long canyon, with multiple levels. The map is complete with vehicle and turret spawns, alongside respawn points for players - though appears not to have progressed beyond the early blockout stages. Interestingly, this map contains spawn points for the [[Cut Halo 4 vehicles#Revenant|Revenant]] design which was intended to appear in the game.{{Ref/Twitter|___Gal4xy___|1433227327622860805|Galaxy|Here's a look at a cut MP map by Certain Affinity simply called "Dish".

===CA_Constant_Strife===
{{Quote|A deadly battle on the UNSC Constant Strife}}
A space-based map, intended to be set on a [[UNSC starship]] known by the name UNSC ''Constant Strife'' - which would have served as the map's namesake. The blockout geometry found in the map's early revisions bear no resemblance to any canonical UNSC spacecraft, and the skybox is reused from the map [[Impact]]. The interior layout slightly resembles [[Rat's Nest]] from ''[[Halo 3]]''{{'}}s [[Heroic Map Pack]], with either side consisting of a [[hangar bay]] containing an [[F-41 Broadsword]] strike fighter similar in design to that featured on [[Ivanoff Station]] in the opening cutscene of the level [[Midnight]].
