Halo 3: ODST, it's like this only a hell lot better.

When viewing the MP3, go to File > Save Page As and then place it wherever you want. If that doesn't work for whatever reason, when you're at the menu that gives the link to download the file, right-click on the link and select "Save Link as..."

And I was hoping for this. Take that Santa, you're too late.

I feel like such a badass listening to it on repeat as I surf the web. Almost like I'm doing something worthwhile :)

When i watched the trailer, i went away astounded by 3 things. The Covenant bomb going off, the Elite, and the music. The fact that your handing this over for free just makes me really happy :)

Thanks a ton Marty!

Everytime some reporter mentions Reach Marty is getting a nice and clearly unstoppable grin on his face, in this interview and the one at the VGA's. I'll take that as a good sign of things to come, both musically and game-wise!

Btw, is that Pro Tools you got running Marty? :)

Keep up the excellent work!

Brilliant piece.
The bass really amplifies the grim feeling of Reach. I particullarly like the brass. The emphasis on the wind and brass made it sound alot more "military like", if you know what I mean, with that is the snare, which gives it that touch of pace and military discipline. The pace isn't fast, but it is very diliberate and it really reflects on the spartan's in such a grim and hostile time. The strings give it the halo feeling, that touch of the bungie + halo history that just had to be there, and guess what, it was.
The cymbals at the start really at to that mysterious feeling, who is this? what is he doing? why is he still on the planet?
I love the climax, It didn't come out of no where, it built up with alot of care, it was quietly building up and then it sorta hit you. It doesn't surprise, but it did a very good job of making you feel that "my god this is it!"
The theme is amzing, its got that old... um... how do you say it, asian? middle eastern? kind of mass exodus/ final march into combat style to it. It adds to that "old" feeling. It also adds to the grim atmosphere.
It grim, with colour and it retains its "haloness".
Awesome work Marty! Awesome work Bungie!

The End

‘The conscious is cancerous if allowed to linger’

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."

Really nice, the opening kind of reminds me of Predator (which is appropriate considering the squad), then it develops into obvious Halo epicness... I love it!

Thank you Marty and Merry Christmas! :)

Great musical score Marty! I will be sure to look into the Halo: Reach soundtrack along with the game next year.

Hey, you can talk with me right here or over at The Marty Army. I'll read this thread (for a while).

  • 12.18.2009 11:14 AM PDT

What brings you to my humble little profile page? Well, whatever it is, you're more than welcome, so make yourself at home.

Why not take a look at my Service Record?

...but if you're interested in only the best screenshots I've produced, then please do visit my file share!

Hey, you can talk with me right here or over at The Marty Army. I'll read this thread (for a while).

Obviously it is very early days yet, and I doubt you'll be allowed or able to talk much about the Reach OST at this stage, but I noticed a distinct lack of familiar Halo trilogy motifs in the Reach trailer. In fact, certain aspects reminded me a little bit of ODST's OST, rather than anything from the main story arc.

That said, do you think we can expect any monks or any familiar Halo themes in the Reach soundtrack, or do you think you'll go for a more distinct approach, ala ODST?

Also, how far into composing the soundtrack are you now? Are you at a concepting stage, or is a lot of music already in game?

Be as vague as you have to be. :) (if indeed you can respond at all!)

But regardless of whether you're able to respond or not, I wish you a very Merry Christmas, Marty O'Donnell, and a happy new year.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

I just really love the ODST music. Very nice work.

  • 12.18.2009 4:23 PM PDT

has anyone noticed that the reach pic on bungie the gray guy is holding the halo CE pistol or the predecessor to the pistol

  • 12.20.2009 3:39 PM PDT

I couldn't get enough of ODST's soundtrack, and that'll probably be true of Reach too.
