I know that Halo 4 isn't being made by Bungie, but when it releases it will be compared to Bungie's original work without end. I just wrote an article for my website speculating about the music of Halo 4 based on what information has been shared so far. I'd greatly appreciate it if you read it and shared your thoughts.

Behold an Unknown Horse: The Music of Halo 4

What do you expect from the music of Halo 4? I'd love to hear your opinions.

Thanks!

Nicely written. That was a very professionally written article right there. I'm personally expecting a much more cinematic game from 343i so I imagine Halo 4's music to be something compared to major films out there, although I'd still welcome the famous Halo theme anytime... just don't over use it.

Don't -blam!- with Kerser!

I hope it will be something along the lines of this or this.

Really, they don't seem fitting... also, those are really genric tunes these days.

I think a new spin on the classic mjolnir mix would be interesting for one of the tracks.

Are you sure you listened to the whole thing. If you did I am positive you would have a different opinion.

Maybe a remix of the original Halo song. That would be great.

Halo 2 had Steve Vai remix it.
Halo 4 will have..... I see a Skrillex remix taking place.

I imagine they will use Marty's music as a start point, using the monks for example, but in the end this is a new trilogy so I think they will try a new direction.

But it won't matter as the greatest Halo soundtrack will forever be ODST.

Agreed. I think it's the best video game score ever composed. In my opinion, it even rivals some of the best film scores.

Off topic, but why can't I see BlondKris's post? It said he was the last person to post.

OT: I don't know why, but I don't feel worried about the music. I think the guy they chose is a good composer.

Maybe they'll go from Vai to Satch... hopefully.

Not those songs but songs inspired by them songs mixed with the Halo formula.

I have all albums of Halo 2 and Halo 3 musics and really, i'm impressed with the quality of the music and the musician. It's really and orchestra !
If they could stay in the same universe of music. I mean Halo sticks with some kind of music, not any musics out there can match Halo universe.

I'm sure the music will be fantastic in its own right. Toji is a very talented musician. I'm just afraid that it's not going to have that "Halo" feel. I understand that it's a new trilogy and all, but I think that since this new trilogy will focus heavily on the Forerunners, so that "Epic Mysterious Alien" theme they had for Marty's score would work perfectly. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I know this much though: I'm going crazy waiting to see what Marty's doing for Bungie's new IP.

Nice article. It will be interesting to see the new music for Halo 4.

I love how 343i remastered the original Halo soundtracks by Marty and put them in CE.
