Subject: Who else is REALLY proud to have Marty doing audio for this game?

Man, I think Marty has done some of his best work on this game, of what I've heard so far.

-The music when the drop begins
-This whole piece
-2:31 The part where Dutch and Mickey are first shown setting up the explosive detonator

It's pretty clear that not only has Marty gone back to the style of Halo 2 Earth, but he's also gotten much more enthusiastic in the sound. My personal favorite is probably Dutch's music, although it's not very clear in that video. The last video is also available on Itunes as a video podcast.
When it comes out, I will definately buy the soundtrack for this game.

Marty is Bungie, Halo Wars was not Bungie. Halo Wars' music was done by Stephen Rippy. It was good, but not Marty-good.

Keep it Clean.

Marty's amazing and all, but they should really get John Williams

Welcome to the town of "Diligence." I'm Mayor Due.

Theres a definite Halo sound thanks to him. Keep it coming!

Um.. no. John Williams does massive movie scores, and the Halo theme belongs to Marty O' Donnell, Micheal Salvatori, and Stephen Rippy (he did an amazing job that exceeded my expectations).

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

Absolutely. No one else should ever compose music for a Halo game. It's a shame they chose other artists for some pieces in Halo 2 and Halo 3. I hope ODST is all Marty.

Halo: CE Anniversary Achievement Idea
C-C-C-CANNON BREAKER!
Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

If it wasn't for Marty's music, I don't know if I would have ever gotten into the Halo series in the first place.

His music really turned me onto the game.

Martin O'Donnell is one of the best composers of music ever. His music can be very sweet and sad until he kicks it up a notch and you actually feel powerful and strong like your character (ODSTs). With Halo 3: ODST there will be new music that will hopefully be above what we have all seen in the previous games of Halo.

(Congrats to Stephen Rippy for his composition of Halo Wars- It had its own feel of the earlier Age of Empires and the futuristic feel that Marty has given to Halo.)
