I just wrote an article for my website speculating about the music of Halo 4 based on what information has been shared so far. I’d greatly appreciate it if you read it and shared your thoughts.

Behold an Unknown Horse: The Music of Halo 4

What do you expect from the music of Halo 4? I’d love to hear your opinions!

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Good stuff.

I love MGS4 and it’s soundtrack, so I only expect epicness from Halo 4’s music.

I’ve seen some of the MGS 4 cutscenes and the music is awesome.

So I know we’re in good hands. I’m looking forward to hearing it, from what I’ve heard so far it sounds awesome.

A little bit similar to Mass Effect, but considering ME is my favourite series for this generation that doesn’t bother me at all!

Very good. Loved the article. Nicely done :slight_smile:

the Forerunner Dance. A short looping version and a long piece.

I’d like that Covenant Dance funk back in some form.

Though you can always give me some grungy guitar rock.

I’m glad that people are being mostly optimistic about the music, and Halo 4 in general. Microsoft has assembled a fantastic team at 343i, and Tojima is no exception!

All I can say is I absolutely adore the music from all the other games, so I have rather high standards for this one. I will definitely be waiting on pins and needles for it!
>SQUEE!<
Sorry.
That was very fangirl-ish of me.
My apologies.

The music in the concept art teaser trailer I saw at Halo Fest almost reminded me of Metroid, but still totally feels like fits within the same universe as other Halo music.

I have nothing but respect for Marty O’ Donnell. His music was epic, atmospheric, and genre-bending. It always created feelings and moods that the rest of the game’s various aspects wouldn’t have been able to elicit on their own. (This is especially true for the original trilogy, where most emotional drives were only provided through the context of reading the books. ODST and Reach draw you in more with their development of the supporting characters.)

That said, I’m really liking what I’m hearing so far with Halo 4’s music. That’s a good thing, because the loss of Marty was one of my initial concerns about the franchise continuing without Bungie.
