I do not want to stop asking. I do not ask to stop wanting.

5) Solace/Halo Reborn

Solace: I love Solace. It's honestly one of the most emotionally charged tracks in the Halo series. It's light, yet powerful. Nothing else to really say about it, but that it sounds really good.

Halo Reborn: The perfect music for the final mission of Halo 3. This is the Halo atmosphere as it should be done. The etheral choir, the Halo CE style, synth-ish version of "Infiltrate", and the ominously deep bass- I just wish there were more tracks like it throughout the series, and throughout Halo 3.

4) Out of Shadows/Wake me When you Need Me

Out of Shadows: You know, there's always this one track in an OST that soundtracks the entire series just as well as the main theme. This is one of them. I love the way the beautiful female choir giving way to the gameplay guitar and drums. Perfectly fits the series IMO.

Wake me When you Need me: I'm pretty sure there's not a single track in video game history that has manipulated my emotions like this one. When this played at the end of H3, I didn't care that the game left 10 plot points blankly hanging in the middle of nowhere. I didn't care the campaign was ~7 hours long. This track alone truly made the ending completely emotionally satisfying.

3) Halo CE Theme (Full, Maw/T&R Suite version)

Where would we be without the Halo theme? The spine chilling traditional monk chant and the iconic da-da-da-daaaaa-da is probably my favorite main theme in video gaming (aside from Port of Adia in Turok 2). Also, I mean the full, extended version that plays during the Warthog Run in the ending- you know, the one that "One Final Effort" was basically a piano version of?

2) Under Cover of Night/Green and Blue

UCON: By far and away the most beautiful gameplay track in Halo history. Whether it was scouting in T&R or blowing -blam!- up in Two Betrayals, this track always made me feel like I had transported into a living, breathing alien world, and I truly appreciated the beauty of gaming when it came on.

Green and Blue: Second for emotional manipulation only to Wake me When you Need me. I'll be typing up an analysis of Halo 4's story in a while, and I'll have an entire section dedicated to how beautiful the ending was, and this song compliments the ending perfectly.

1) Legacy

Yes, the number one is a Halo 4 track. Come on, I want you to do it, I want you to do it. Come on, hit me. Hit me! Legacy's ethereal choir and plain, sheer beauty elevate it to the status of pure perfection to me. Like I said, if you disagree, I want you to try it. Hit me.

EDIT: If you listen to Davidge's soundtrack with good quality speakers/headphones, you'll find a richness to his... "sound" that Marty just simply didn't have. I don't know... it's just layered so beautifully.

I personally think nothing will beat MJOLNIR mix.

I like every single Halo track, I wouldn't be able to choose. Except Halo 4's.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I am disappointed that nobody mentioned the different "Pale Horse" pieces from each of the first 3 games!

Yeah, I didn't include ODST because it's pretty much a curbstomp to any soundtrack.

NOOOO, how did a single track of that filth of Halo 4 manage to make it on that list?! Blasphemy!

Not a single, but three.

As an avid fan of the original Halo soundtracks, I honestly think Davidge hit the nail on the head.

I only look at the number one. 3?! This is heresy in the highest regard.

Oh yes I am an avid fan of the Halo soundtracks as well, but I think Davidge missed the side of the barn pretty badly. It's just too generic.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

I can't. I truly can't pick any!

If you don't have an answer, just say ODST

It's pretty much an objective fact that that game's OST was god tier

  • 12.23.2012 6:38 PM PDT

Forever praise Lord Jesus Christ, The Father, The Holy Spirit, the one true Lord Almighty God, and bless all forever in His holy name :)

.Halo CE- Truth and reconciliation
.Halo 2- The last spartan
.Halo 3- Never Forget
.Halo 3: ODST- Finale
.Halo 4- 117

Halo Reach- Lonewolf, and others...

Actually my favorite would be the Halo CE theme. Always will be. I didn't like ODSTs very much but it was good.

Again, even the people who don't like it have to admit that it was still very good.

And you can't go wrong with the Halo CE theme. Nothing ever makes my hair stand on end like the monk chant.
