Subject: Favorite Halo:CE song?

Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

I am not just saying this because I am a fan (not a fanboy) of the Halo series, but I think Marty's work throughout the trilogy (and the sample from the ODST trailers) has been some of the best I have heard in any game....hence all of the trilogy are on my IPod

Listening to the track from ODST suggests Marty (and his team) are still going strong and are constantly producing awe inspiring music.

Great stuff indeed.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

The Halo theme, maybe? :P It's actually called "Halo"

Yeah, I must agree, the Halo trilogy have got to have the best game music. Ever, I think? Yeah...

Brothers in Arms is also a good song for me, I lsiten to it every now and then and it does make you feel pumped up, I remember that piece of music when you are in the guts of the covenant ship, T&R, taking fire from Hunters and Jackals on the upper balconies...

Also reminds me of a very drunken BBQ I had once, not sure why though.


Yeah, it reminds me of PoA :]
I didn't remember that it was played in T&R, I thought it was only played at the intro in PoA?

It plays when the pelican comes into the ship with reinforcements and at the end of the level after the part where Keyes says he can fly the Spirit.


Ah, when he splatters the two Hunters?

No, that's "Enough Dead Heroes". Brothers in Arms is the song that's playing before the cutscene at the end of the level.

The music in the trilogy is great and all, but the stuff in Halo 2 just doesn't do anything for me. Who decided on electric guitars, anyways?

I kinda like the mjolnir mix, and especially the Mombassa Suite :D

Oh, and heretic hero and peril.

There are some great tracks on the Halo 2 CD's, for example Ghosts of Reach, Heavy Price Paid, and some of the "suites" on the second CD were good, but I am not sure why there were those awful interludes and various other bits of tat on there....

To be honest, I can't remember any of the good music from Halo 2. It all gets drowned out for me.

Delta Halo Suite is pretty good on the second CD of the Halo 2 OST.

I'm not so sure about all those "Odyssey movements", however I was outraged that Incubus music was played on the Arbiter introduciton level (during the first Banshee fight). That horrid track was called Follow I think, or at least that's all there was to the vocals.

The Halo 2 soundtrack had awesome songs like Unyielding and High Charity Suite. And I'm not trying to sound like a fanboy, but all of the music that wasn't done by marty on the Halo 2 soundtrack vol 1 sucked.

What did you guys think of Halo War's music? I thought the theme song, Spirit of Fire was much better than the Halo 2 and 3 theme songs. It had other great songs too like Status Quo Show. I like it more than Halo 3's soundtrack.

  • 03.16.2009 12:50 PM PDT

I haven't played it yet, but I suspect I will as well.

Yes, Halo Wars is... there's no real word to describe my feelings when I heard that menu theme. I had goosebumps running across my body. It was like hearing "Under Cover of Night" for the first time but better. Marty and Michael should really collaborate with the guy that composed that soundtrack! (I forgot his name, sorry).

I thought Siege of Madrigal was somewhere at the level "Two Betrayals"? Idk if that was the name of it, it's AoTCR, only reversed.

I thought Halo Wars music was great, it may be a little of the brilliance of Marty's work, but it sure does the trick in immersing you in the Halo universe once again.

As much as I love the music from Halo CE, 2 and 3 one of my favourite pieces that is (and isn't) Halo music is the track Big Science made - "For All of Us", played during the Halo 3 diorama advert...that in my opinion is a classic piece of music...

Cannot wait to see what Marty and the gang have in store for us with ODST's soundtrack...I think it will lean more towards the Halo 2 / 3 style rather than the Halo CE style of moody / tribal / alien.....

(obvious statement alert)

It is somewhere after the part where you first get to fly the Banshee at the at the end of AotCR. I'm not sure if it's on Two Betrayals too, but I don't think it is.

You don't get to fly a Banshee in AotCR, do you?

You use rockets or grenades to secretly obtain one... =)

Yeah, at the end of the level. If you're fast enough, you can grab one before one of the elites does first. I've heard of a way to get it earlier in the level somehow, but I've never tried it. Do any of you know how to do it?
