I was just starting up Halo and heard the chanting (if you can call it that) and just started wondering what it meant. Could it just be to strike awe in you as you watch the ring? Or some way to make you remember the foreunners who built it? Or does it have soemthing to do with the flood? Post your best answers here.

the monk chanting is part of the soundtrack. It could symbolize pain, or amazement.

It is a word.

It's just the main theme for Halo. I agree with Rocke, it does sound like mysteriousness. Or amazement.

It means you have become one with the universe and have conquered the entropy of all vortex conscienceness.

That's what I said.

It's also the same thing I hear sometimes in my head except instead of music, I hear voices that say "Kill them, before they kill you!"

No, but seriously, TMH is right. It's not even chanting really.

I read somewhere that it's to symbolise the ancientness of the ring, and what says more ancient than monks?

It's probably to build suspense, becasue the chanting is probably for like other people said for amazement/mysteriousness(someone correct my spelling), just look at how the music is used, its used in the singleplayer campagin as well. It's kinda makes you scared when your in the later levels going down a hall that looks empty with that music playing, you don't know what might happen.

It's more in reference to the religiousity such things are to the covenant- and how in history chanting was done because and related to religion...
Besides, it's cool.
