The OST is usually numbered in chronological order in which you may hear it in the game, there are 15 songs and 8 levels. #14 is Revival, assumably Didact-related, or reviving the “Ancient Evil” and the last song is Green and Blue, which clearly refers to Chief and Cortana, Halo 4 might end on a sad note gaizInfo about purchasing the Halo 4 Soundtrack

i much prefer the classic music, always sends a shiver down my spine.

> i much prefer the classic music, always sends a shiver down my spine.

That’s because you have the ingame experience attached to the music so you’ll remember what made the music so chilling. Though because I have such a strong imagination, I can think of some scenes to apply some of the music to, making it that much more enjoyable, one came close o giving me chills already.

For a while, I had no faith in the music. That fiath has been restored. Thank you for gatheribg up the music!

And while Im not a fan of dubstep, those remixes…are Yoinking sick. o.o

It’s good, but will never be on Marty’s level. He is a legend.

still havnt got faith in Neil Davidge yet, i might think other wise when i hear all of them but it not looking good for me so far.

I appreciate the stylistic change in music from Marty to Davidge. I find them fitting for the new trilogy.

That being said: OMGAMAZESAUCE!

The Revival remix and the short moment from the magic behind Halo 4 gives me hardcore nerdgasms and goosebumps ! <3

Anyone else thinks this reminds you of Thriller.

Mission Accomplished.

Those remixes sound dreadful. The actual music, however… makes me very happy indeed! :slight_smile:

It doesn’t have to be the original theme, but I think if the monk choir kicks in at the main menu, it’ll make the experience much better.

To Galaxy sounds better then the old Halo theme at least to me. I love it. The other music is fine but To Galaxy is just fantastic.

> Arrival (Fan-dubbed)

That’s the official name :wink:

Not true, halo’s music from other games was unique enough to stand on it’s own without gameplay.

I feel that halo 4’s music is too generic and repetitive compared to marty’s score.

For me the soundtrack sample is the best. Don’t really care much for the others.

i agree halo’s music from previous games does stand out on its own without gameplay. I imagine halo 4’ music will only work with gameplay. Im not overly confident in halo 4’s music so far but i will see when i hear them all, but as of now with what ive heard from Neil so far with the music on its own Marty is still my top man.

Thanks for the info, I changed that in the OP, I also posted the name of the tracks, length of OSTs from previous halo games, number of tracks, etc. If anyone wants to get information on how to purchase the Halo 4 OST please click this link Info about Purchasing Halo 4 OST or you can see the original post for that information.

To Galaxy has become one of my favorites. Though I’m still itching to know what original version of the song, Nemesis takes after.
