0:00 - Chapter 4-4. Activating future data after fighting enemies AND skipping the bullet time cam, you get to Chapter 4-5 faster. Might save something like 12 seconds?
One weird side effect from all this is that Max's gun may malfunction in Chapter 4-5 if you leave cover too soon, so I recommend fighting the first wave of enemies from the cover.
Note: if you don't skip the bullet time cam before activating future data, you get a special game over scene where Passos gets killed by a non-existing enemy. Just as you thought Passos couldn't get any worse...
0:38 - Chapter 4-6. Activating future data during the bullet cam of killing the last enemy while in Last Man Standing skips the short Chapter 4-6 outro, saving anywhere from 5 to 10 seconds?
It's a slight hassle to set up since you need to keep track of how many enemies you kill and also needs a painkiller to work.
Note: if you're not in Last Man Standing while activating future data, once again Passos gets killed by non-existing foes as you try to do this skip.
1:19 - Chapter 4-14. Activating future data during the bullet cam of killing the last enemy skips the level outro, saving something like 28 seconds. Pretty straightforward.
1:38 - a bonus clip of a skip idea I had in Chapter 4-10. With a correct timing, you can have Max airwalk without any collision for a decent while during the combined cutscene. You can run to the next area and activate its Checkpoint early this way. However, while it looks cool, it doesn't seem like it saves any time.
