Well Since Halo is Well-Known for its epic compositions of music, I decided to make a thread to see which one you halo fans herald as the best.

For me its Definitely Halo 3. The way each key-stroke of a piano or the fast-tempo-ed drum beats to the background of the sacred monks. Or even the chorus of Violins. It all really sort of brought me into the game on an emotional level. Plus It just feels like Marty O'Donnell By Halo 3 Had mastered his art, and it all culminated in this varied but very heart tugging soundtrack that really shook me to the core. And i loved every second of it.

That being said ODST's music holds a special place in my heart because Its without a doubt the most mellow of the 6. One time me and 3 of my friends were playing campaign, and one of them made a joke about how it almost sounds like were in a mid-90's hipster Jazz club. That right there says it all.

And just to get things Straight:
Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST And Halo: Reach's Soundtracks were all Composed By Martin O'Donnell And Michael Salvatori.(with some credit to Incubus for the Halo 2 OST)
Halo Wars' Music was Composed By Stephen Rippy.
And Halo Legends' Music was A conglomerate Between Each episode between Bones, Casio Entertainment, Production I.G., Studio 4°C, and Toei Animation.

I would probably say ODST though I really do love Halo 2's music. I really like ODST's music because it was very distinctive and unique while still retaining that Halo feel. This is one of the reasons why I don't particularly care for Reach's music. It's good, but doesn't really convey that Halo feeling to me.

I love all of them.

I choose halo 2 because of the many new awesome soundtracks like inamber clad and heretic hero.

The others are amazing as well.

I love ODST and CE music. ODST's finale is my all time favorite Halo track.

  • 02.21.2011 12:03 PM PDT

I love all of them but voted Halo 3 because Farthest Outpost would have to be my favorite.

  • 02.21.2011 12:17 PM PDT

I don't have to kill you quickly, you know

All have great music, but CE had the best. The song that plays during the 3 level when sniping, and 9th when coming out of the underground caves to a huge flood vs covenant battle.

If I don't believe in him...

ODST or Reach.

I love it all, but ODST was my favorite by far. The first movement of Deference to Darkness gives me chills everytime.

ODST was my favorite over-all, but my favorite single song is from Halo Legends, believe it or not. Sacred Icon Suite 2 is sooooo epic.

listen to it here

Well, this is a tough choice. I think Halo really stayed a favorite of mine was due in large part to the music of ol Marty and Michael. The game would not have been as good in my opinion without them. Each halo game has had a specific number of tracks that I could listen to all day, but perhaps the one from the Reach Soundtrack From the Vault is my favorite. Specifically about half way through.

Also, don't forget to give credit to C Paul Johnson who had a lot to do with at least the reach soundtrack

I really like the Halo 1 music, but I didn't choose it. I like a lot of Halo 2 music, but a lot of it I can't really just listen to like I could with most Halo 1 music. Both really effect the mood of the game, but I chose Halo 3. Halo 3 seemed to be a lot of the best musci from Halo 1 and 2, but have become more epic. Halo Wars had some cool tunes in there, but most if it was pretty average. I really like ODST music, it was new and really suited the game well, but it wasn't all as epic as the music from Halo 3 (but is still was epic). Halo Reach music was great compared with other video game music, but wasn't really up there with other Halo music, it still beat Halo Wars though. I liked the Sacred Icon Suite Remake thing (it's in that Map Pack trailer) but other than that and a couple of others it wasn't as good as anything else on the list (apart from Halo Wars which beats).

I don't have Halo Legends and haven't listened to it so I can't speak for that, but I love each Halo Soundtrack, even Halo Wars. I said that my favorite was Halo 2 because I think the licensed music (especially the Incubus stuff!!!!) was fantastic, but also because the music just reminded me of the epicness of the campaign.

Reach is a close second, followed by ODST, then 3 and CE (both were pretty similar to 2), and finally Halo Wars. Again, each soundtrack is great, but I think 2 is the best.

  • 02.21.2011 9:36 PM PDT

I Know Bungie's Secret... Shhhhhhh...

Yeah I liked Reach but it just didn't have the same epic feel as CE, 2, and 3 had.

No patience for trolls who shouldn't even be playing the game.

They put the rating at MA 15+ for a reason.

I respect the Halo 3 music, Halo 1 has that place in my heart for all classics, Halo 2 music wasn't really that impressive, I rekon they shouldn't have overused the guitar like they did, ODST is the best overall, though Reach music didn't quite feel like Halo.

Goin to bed trying to keep the thread alive while sleep

Check out 8 1/2 SPARTANS

ODST OST is the best hands down.

It's emotional, compelling, has everything going for it.

If it wasn't for the music, I think ODST's campaign would have been unbearable to play.
