" Music distributor, Sumthing Distribution, has been involved in the videogame scene for a few years now, with the company releasing soundtrack CDs for titles, including: Halo, Sudeki, Voodoo Vince, Power Stone, Tao Feng and Brute Force to name a few. This morning, with that all said and done, it appears the company will eventually be releasing a soundtrack CD for Halo 2. Details on the soundtrack aren’t yet known, but news of its upcoming release was made available through a pop-up explaining the site’s recent downtime. With respect to Halo 2, the following bit was said as part of the message."

"Featuring music by Nile Rodgers, Incubus, Hoobastank, Breaking Benjamin and more... Official Soundtrack in stores November 9th."

Is this true? Do we have any way of confirming? If this is true... I really don't know what to do. I mean I don't despise Hoobastank the same way that a lot of people do, but to think that them or any other musician aside from Marty O'Donnell would be featured in Halo 2 makes my skin crawl.

I think what they are saying is that the company is going to release a soundtrack CD, with the Halo 2 songs on it. Similarly to the way the released the Halo 1 soundtrack, featuring the elderly yet lively, Marty O'Donnell

Naw, I didn't make it clear in my post, but if you go to www.sumthing.com, the HALO 2 thing says "Featuring music by Nile Rodgers, Incubus, Hoobastank, Breaking Benjamin and more... Official Soundtrack available on 11/9/2004"

Check it out/

Yeah, I saw that too. It has me a little worried...if that means that any music other than Marty's is actually in the game itself.

I could care less about the soundtrack, but putting any other music actually within the game would be a BIG mistake for Bungie.

There once was a Master named Chief
who liked to smash Covenant
teeth,
He filled out a docket,
And picked up a rocket
Which brought all the bad guys to grief.
this writen by THE MAN Frankie. from his OXM days

They changed the banner, it was either a joke or a REALLY bad typo.

Yeah well, Bungie knows what they are doing or we wouldn't have Halo, now would we?

I LOVE listening to music while I play games, nothing as soft as what you guys are talking about (my tastes lie more along the lines of Norwiegan Death Metal) But I have to say Halo's music is what I really loved about playing it, it was seriously up there with the gameplay, so I think just whatever bungie puts in there should reflect HALO 2 and not the popular bands of the day.
