Ok so what is your favourite song in the Halo universe? I know a LOT of you love all that action packed pwnin asses stuff but yeh.. My favourite is the oppisite.. I REALLY like Halo 2: Unforgotten...

It's such a difference from the usual Halo dramatic stuff... It's so tender and touching and different and that's why i love it!

If nobodt has heard it then just say so and i can tell you where to get it =-)

The Theme in the H3 trailer. I like the trumpets blasting, but where is the tuba or trombones? we NEED more low brass!

lol. If you don't get that, don't worry, you're not supposed to.

I got to go with Blow me Away by Breaking Benjamin. That song is great but it is overplayed in Halo 2 montages.

I like a whole lot: (In no particular order)

Halo 1: Brothers in Arms, The Gun Pointed at the Head of the Universe, Lament for Private Jenkins, Covenant Dance, On a Pale Horse, Rock Anthem for Saving the World, the Maw (of course!), Suite Autumn, and the Halo Main Theme, of course!

Halo 2 Vol. 1: Remembrance, Halo Theme Mjolnir Mix, Ghosts of Reach, In Amber Clad, The Last Spartan,3rd Movement of the Odyssey, and Earth City.

Halo 2 Vol. 2: The only thing i've heard of this is a snippet of Unforgotten, but I liked it!

Halo 3 Trailer: Halo 3 Trailer Theme. I liked the trumpets and piano.

I agree. I love that song, but I've stopped watching Halo2 montages so I don't spoil it.

Also, the piano and trumpets in the H3 trailer. Now I'm itching to buy a new piano for my wife and have her learn the music, so she can play it for me whenever I want :-)

I like the song in the Halo one campaign when you are in the Silent Cartographer and you have to run out of the structure and while doing so it plays that Halo/Rock mix.

You need to buy the soundtracks to listen to all of them. You can probably find them at a Tower Records, Best Buy, Sam McGoody, Rasputin Records, or (insert music store here). Or, you can look on iTunes

However, there are some legal previews and free downloads out there.

The Halo 1 Theme
Some music that was edited out of Halo 1
Some great fanmusic over at HBO
Hurry (From Oni, another great Bungie game)
On a Pale Horse (In my opinion, one of the BEST songs the Halo 1 Official Soundtrack has to offer)
Warmongers (Halo fanmusic)
Mjolnirs' Child (Halo fanmusic)
A list of Halo Fanmusic, with links
Pwn My Heart (Halo fanmusic)
As Twilight Falls (Halo fanmusic)
Bloodgulch 120 (Halo fanmusic)
The Heretic (Halo fanmusic)
Halo 2 Vol. 2 Snippets
More Halo Fanmusic (Some songs are repeats of the ones on HBO)

Happy listening!

Wow...having never bought the soundtracks, I don't know the names of the various musical pieces in Halo 1,2, or 3, but after following your link I instantly recognized, "On a Pale Horse". I wonder, do they have names for either the flood theme, what I take to be the Hunter theme (the music you hear for the first time fighting Hunters), or, as mentioned above, the rock/main theme mix that plays right after you've read the map in the Silent Cartographer?

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

My favorite form H1 is the music that plays after you get the index, and need to get a banshee to get to the 3 rooms in the canyon. I don't know the name of it, but it kicks ass. And the second level, after you clear out the covenant the first time, you kill one of the covenent and the music starts playing, thats good too.
H2, my favorite is In amber clad. Best song imo on H2. Plus I also like Follow, its good music for where its at.

My favorite is the Fanfare from the Halo 3 trailer.

I just happened to read that "low brass" pun. I must say that high brass is more affective, and for those who don't understand, thats a referral to a shotgun shell.

my fav is the song that plays after u activate the map room in SilentCartographer it is pretty much the halo theme but in electric guitar. and lol seige of madrigal is from myst. i like it too. i go up to that middle bracket just to listen to it. did u know that in h2 in this 1 lvl if u wait by this 1 garage door u can hear it but it might take a while for it to play.

The soundtracks are worth every penny, IMHO.

Sure! They're called-
The Flood Theme is called Devils... Monsters...
The Hunter Theme is called Enough Dead Heroes
And I'm pretty sure the Silent Cartographer song you mentioned is called Rock Anthem For Saving The World. You can find a version of this song here, which a fan mixed with some of his favorite in-game dialogue.

It sounds hawt.

You seriously over-analysed that. from now on I'm going to flag my inside jokes with this: [Donotattemttounderstandthisjokebecauseyouneverwill] [/Donotattemttounderstandthisjokebecauseyouneverwill]

That song hidden in Assault on the Controll Room is one of the best, but because it was hidden, idt seems that much more great.
