"bu-bu-bu-BUUUUUUUMMM!!!" Yep, that's the one. The question is, do you want to see this classic make its triumphant return in Reach? Or, do you think it's getting a little old, and Marty should come up with a new theme for those most epic of moments in Reach? Let the voting begin!

I'd be fine if most of this games soundtrack was just various pieces from the previous games, mainly for nostalgia, but also because they are so well done.

  • 11.22.2009 1:46 PM PDT

I absolutely agree.

Warning: You may find that my, or someone else's opinion does not comply with yours. Side effects of disagreement may include (but are not limited to): flaming, irrational behavior, broken keyboards, and/or nervous sweats. If you experience any of these symptoms refrain from communicating with others until the symptoms have subsided.

Of course the classic music should be in Reach, but remixed and revamped. Throw in some new music and "BAMM!" I'm sure Marty will impress; I don't think I have ever been disappointed by the music in a Halo game, guess he is doing his job, Joe should be nicer to him.

Beware the smiley face! =D

Of course it should.

The Halo theme is like, the epic of all epic theme tunes for any game.

Both Modern Warfares and Ace Combat have good music too though.

Yes, but maybe tweak it to make it WAY more powerful!

  • 11.22.2009 2:04 PM PDT

Anybody else care to share their opinion?

  • 11.22.2009 7:06 PM PDT

You just lost the game.

Who the heck voted no?!

  • 11.22.2009 7:09 PM PDT

The bu-bu-bu-bummm one? I don't care. The ahh---ah-ha-....etc.---> yes.

I realize that they're originally the same, but the chorus of that is the main part.

I don't understand the difference, but my favorite was the one that plays at the end of Halo 3.

  • 11.22.2009 7:34 PM PDT

The only theme I want to hear from previous games is the main theme. Halo 3's soundtrack pissed me off because most of the songs were all recycled and new tweaked versions of the existing past songs from halo 1 and 2.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

The Halo 2 and 3 Theme song are both based on the Halo CE Theme Song, just with minor differences.

Since we won't be playing as Chief I wouldn't mind seeing a heavily reworked Halo theme, kinda like how they mixed up the general feel of the music in ODST since we are playing as the rookie.

  • 11.22.2009 8:35 PM PDT

That theme's the chief's, so we should hear it when we see the chief. If we have a different main character and the chief has a smaller role, then the new character should have his/her own theme and the "bu-bu-bu-BUUUUUUUMMM!!!" would play at some point when the chief makes an appearence.

I vote both yes and no. I think that Marty should go back to the music from Combat Evolved, but instead of dressing it up and building on it like he has from every game since, strip it down. Make it a little more frantic, conveying the slightly panicked, more than a little overwhelmed, back-to-the wall feeling that the defenders of Reach had to be feeling when the largest Covenant battle fleet ever assembled appeared out of nowhere.

We do play as MC in Reach.

I'm pretty sure that we haven't been told WHO we're playing as, so you're both specualting.

  • 11.22.2009 8:58 PM PDT

I think Marty will impress us all with whatever he does. For me though, i would like to here something completely different, yet still reminds us of the old hawtness.

  • 11.22.2009 8:59 PM PDT

It doesn't have to be just Master Chief's theme, it's called the Halo theme, not the Chief's theme. Since it only plays when you play as a Spartan, it could just be a Spartan theme, which obviously means it could be in Reach.

The soundtrack should be solemnish but also epic and heavy.
