Favorite Theme Song

Community Halo Universe

So there is a theme song for all the games that have been released, along with two theme songs for the cinematic media, such as Foward Unto Dawn and Legends. Excluding those two, what is your favorite theme song from the games? Here is a list of each game’s theme song(using anniversary editions in place of original, but you can say original if you would like) along with who composed them:

Halo Wars-Insignificantia, All Sloppy/No Joe(Stephen Rippy)

Halo Reach-First part of Tip of the Spear(Martin O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori)

Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary-Installation 04(Martin O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori)

Halo 2 Anniversary-Gungnir Mix(Martin O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori)

Halo 3 ODST-Finale(Martin O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori)

Halo 3-One final Effort(Martin O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori)

Halo Spartan Assault-Finishing the Fight(Tom Salta)

Halo 4-117(Kazuma Jinnouchi)

Spartan Ops-To Galaxy(Neil Davidge)

So there you have it. All the theme songs from all the games. I consider Spartan ops a “seperate game” since it has a different story and a slight gameplay change, so it has its own theme song as well. My favorite is 117, since it has the new Reclaimer saga theme while still using the original Halo trilogy theme motif, making it a new epic twist with an awesome throwback.

edit
seems like some people love Sacred Icon Suite 2 from the Halo Legends soundtrack, so I’ll include the two cinematic themes for the two cinematic productions as options:

Halo Legends-Sacred Icon Suite 2(Martin O’Donnel and Michael Salvatori?)

Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn-Axios(Nathan Linear)

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary - Installation 04

I’d personally go with 117 from Halo 4, though I really love the Spartan Assault theme (I think its theme is actually Rising or Legacy).

4

The Halo Mjolnir Mix. I love those gitars over the original theme. It’s the only mix or remix of a song that i find is as good as the original and actually deserves to be heard.

5

Tie between Halo 1 and 2 for me.

6

Halo CE. And I prefer the original to the Anniversary one.

7

CE or 117

8

H2a has to be my favorite

9

Without a doubt my favorite is One Final Effort from Halo 3, it just makes the last mission 10 times better!

10

I thought the Halo Wars theme song was Spirit of Fire? Guess I was wrong. I have to say 117 or the original Halo CE theme is my favorite. Kind of hard to choose from all of them though.

11

No one thought of Greatest Journey? I mean, whoa, the Halo theme mixed with One Final Effort at the end of Halo 3 (the Warthog Run). Epicness expressed in music.

One final effort is the halo theme. It’s just a halo 3 “remix,” and in this case One Final Effort would be theme song for Halo 3. For example, Mjolnir Mix(or gungnir mix) is a halo 2 remix of the halo theme from halo CE(Halo, or Installation 04). The only theme songs from the games that does not have any sort of halo theme influence are Finale from ODST, To Galaxy from Spartan Ops, and Finishing the Fight from Spartan Assault.

Halo Legend’s take on the second Sacred Icon Suite is all kinds of awesome.

Haha that’s Halo Legend’s theme too!

15

The main theme of Halo 3.

16

Halo 3 - Finish The Fight

17

The original theme and “117” are hard to choose between, nostalgia notwithstanding. The former needs no explanation and the latter nails the feel of Halo 4 while paying tribute to its roots. Now, who wants to bear witness to heresy?

I’ve never been a big fan of the “MJOLNIR Mix”. It tries too hard to add some kind of needless edge. Instead it overwhelms the majesty of the original composition. I do like it but I find it terribly overrated, especially since it’s what the average gamer thinks of as the Halo theme.There. I said it. Don’t send an Arbiter after me.

18

Can’t beat the H2 theme song, at least in my mind.

19

Out of all those it would have to be Halo 3.
