Subject: Just a thank you to Marty

I just wanted to give a huge thanks to Marty O'Donnell because his music is just too brilliant. Apart from the Halo main themes and the popular music everything he makes is just as perfect for the situation as can be. For ODST and Reach he made an entirely different sound but somehow kept the feeling that it was Halo.

For me the driving forces for me to continue to play Halo are about 30% nostalgia 30% game play and about 40% music, the music lends to the nostalgia too.

I heard Marty say in a video one time that the goal for music is to provoke emotions without people knowing it. And i'm well aware that that's the purpose of it and that is just fine by me.

Not that the rest of Bungie isn't brilliant as well but the music just stays with me.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Thank you, Marty.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

I love how this post has a lot to do with the story and canon elements of Bungie games. Oh wait, it doesn't. Surprise, surprise.

Finish the Fight!

Seriously Marty is probably one of the best composers to ever live. I listen to the soundtracks quite often even when I'm driving or walking somewhere. Somehow his soundtrack fits life itself and not even just Halo. :P Thanks Marty, looking forward to the next epic soundtrack of whatever IP is being created.

If we play on any map with a sniper, you better find a hiding spot

marty's music was repetitive and lost his touch over time. Someone had to say it, might as well be me.

To each his own I guess. I personally love all of it though. But it's cool.

Hit 'em hard, hit 'em fast, leave 'em dead.

The OST for ODST!

May Marty continue to grace us with his musical brilliance in Bungie's future endeavors. He is the best video game composer. Period.
