There is a thread within the General Discussion forum with the same idea which I completely agree with, but I wish to bring to everyone’s attention here. It has been confirmed today that Marty O’Donnell has been fired by Bungie, for reasons not yet addressed. I truly do not understand the reasoning behind this decision at all, Marty is the best composer working in the industry. I give Marty the best of wishes and am very sorry for what did not deserve to happen to him. I ask of 343 to do this, ask Marty to join the studio and return to the Halo franchise, his home. I do believe he needs to return and bring back his genius to the franchise’s score. I am sure 343 has seen this news and is probably wanting for this to occur, they are most likely going to talk with him about returning most likely Halo 6 (if Halo 5 is coming this year or Halo 5 if it’s coming next year). I give Marty our best wishes for him in the future, and hope he returns home, and 343, please hire him so we can hear his brilliance come out of Halo once more.

A couple threads were locked in the HXO forums earlier today with direction to that thread. I’d assume the reason is to keep the discussion in one topic instead of multiple threads discussing the same thing.

Might want to just continue the discussion over in the other thread. Link here

Woops, wasn’t on here earlier today. Thanks for the warning man.

Can’t believe Marty left before the release of Destiny. I love to see Marty working back on Halo. I loved the Halo 4 Soundtrack, but you can’t beat the original score.
