That's not new. That's the theme of the original Halo 1 game. Just put in the disc to try it. It's the same.

I don't see that much of a difference.

i notice a difference, but it seems like used the orig soundtrack to do it. so i think its a remix with some effects added.

I don't think it's real. It missed out a good portion of the theme, and seemed to just be parts from the trailer, with edited parts of the original at certain sections.

I hear a HUGE difference. I don't like how they completely changed the african woman chant - sounds too weak now. The drums definately sound bigger, but it just lacks that nostalgic sound you get when you listen to the original and plus they're way too prominent in the mix - they completely overpower everything else. The monk chants sound a lot different too imo.

Sorry, I'm just a purist for Marty's excellent work.


EDIT: Actually, after a few more listens compared to the original, I like what they did with the newer version. Disregard my post above.

Served in the UNSC army since Halo 1. Now awaiting deployment in Bungies new game.

Sounds like the original to me.

but a little tweaked.

It's real guys. This was tagged on the end of 343i's newest podcast and you can check for yourself. I like it. They changed a few minor things but I think it's faithful to the original.

Recon..??

So ...what? are they renewing all the music too or just the title theme?

Re-recording the orchestration and remastering the sound effects.

The third block of choir section starts far too softly in volume as if they're trying to inject their own clever 'better realised' take on the piece- being creative here will only bugger things up. Other bits too are different. It's fairly disapointing but i half expected 343 to stuff up somewhere

My biggest worry is that they replace the Cortana model with their own. I'm all for change and i do like the changes to geometry and texture detail but Cortana was very unique in Halo1. I'd be right hacked off if they try to tone her freaky amazing eyes any and especially angry if they change her model altogether

My other concern is screen tear.Halo1 didn't have any and Bungie has always very cleverly hidden any screen tear on the 360 to the very top of the screen. With Saber handling part of this conversion, it greatly worries me we see an ugly rippling screen like that of Perfect Dark Zero and many other 360 games. Halo1 had zero screen tear and so this really is very important we don't see this issue as part of the conversion

how can you guys not notice the biggest difference??? You know the famous monk chant at the beginning? This one sounds more "halo wars" style, and the drums are slightly different. While that is a bit of the new remastered soundtrack, I'm quite disappointed. I'd rather have them just put in the old classic soundtrack, because while this doesn't sound bad, it just doesn't give the same feeling, while it isn't easy to spot the differences at first for some.

After listening to it a few more times it probably is real, but I'm split on whether I like it or not.

  • 06.10.2011 6:25 PM PDT

I like Call of Duty and Gears of War, AND Halo. Why must everyone else like only one or the other?

Indeed. When I heard it at the end of the podcast, I liked it.
