Halo 2 had the electric guitar, Halo 3 was heavy on the piano. So, if Reach follows its predecessors what musical instrument would you like to hear mixed with the Halo theme?

Bass would be nice Its very calming

And I believe Halo 3: ODST uses the Saxophone if I remember correctly.

Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Dunno how the Bass would be worked into a theme song, not as the lead anyway. I wouldn't mind the ominous feel of the first games feel. Not an exact copy but something similar in theme. I though the Steve Vais guitar contribution in the 2nd game was solid, and Mary's score in the 3rd was beautifull.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

You know what, a bunch of wind and string instruments might make this sound pretty nuts. I can't recall what the teaser utilized since my tv has been broken this past week and I have not seen the trailer in awhile.

I almost wet myself.

Why not a combination of piano and electric guitar?

....damn gaming limit....

i think they should bring back the electric guitar-that was an amazing theme song

Here we are again bro... Just you and me. Same kind of moon same kind of jungle. Real number 10 remember... Whole platoon, 32 men chopped into meat... We walk out just you and me, nobody else.

I'm thinking more of a mixture of all three. I mean it is a prequel so why not take the whole trilogies style and blend it together. The percussion of CE the guitar of H2 and the piano of H3 and heck through in some synth maybe and we would have one epic score.

I don't think you are allowed to talk about bungie on Bungie.net.

Hopefully they bring back the electric guitar for the main theme.

^ That made me giggle, no lie.

On a better note, I'd like to see a flute, or some flute variant (piccolo, etc). Wind instruments would be awesome in general.

  • 07.08.2009 7:05 PM PDT

I liked both the guitar and the piano for Halo2 and 3 respectively.

I prefer the piano for the epic feel it lends to any scene

Woodwinds and/or strings. We all know, at least for what we assume is the most part of the fate of Reach. Halo 3's music was very emotional at times, but I expect Reach to be far more emotional in its atmosphere and overall experience. I believe it is going to provide an expansive look at the devastation on our side of the Human-Covenant war before our spirits are brought back up again by the next big Halo title is brought into development.

I'd say violin, but I'd rather it be something more exotic... say like the new track they played in the Bungie Day podcast. I loved it.

I agree with him ^ I think it should be very emotional. I mean its millions of people dying and giving their life in defense of others.
