Just heard the HALO 4 OST in XBOX MUSIC. Its great. Really beautiful and powerfull…
But, there is no classic Halo Theme song anywhere!!!
WTF? Thats what I call a poor choice… hope this kind of decision doesnt reflect in any other part of the game. With this, its already losing a great part of the identity millions of people love.
Just imagine Star Wars without John Williams and the classic themes he made for the saga. It’s unthinkable.
I’ve not listened, is it not there in some variation like it always used to?
not that it makes a difference, I’m sure during the right moments with the music playing you still feel as epic.
I agree. I dislike the new soundtrack as a HALO soundtrack. Still, some awesome tracks in there.
Reach pulled it off, but in a game with MC in it, I think it should definitely have the main theme.
I’m happy they didn’t rehash the old soundtracks. It’s a new trilogy, new company and a new composer.
Halo has moved on to new and exciting places, and the classic theme has been left behind.
To right I say!
The classic theme is still in the other games, go play them if you feel home sick.
Am I the only one who didn’t mind…?
Yeah, I am personally in LOVE with the new sound track. Probably one of my favorite, if not my MOST favorite Halo OST.
Who cares? It’s been over 10 years since the first game came out, we’ve got a new developer & a new musician. Move on.
I’ve been listening to the soundtrack for a while and I love it - I’m so glad that 343i isn’t afraid to flex its own creative muscles rather than relying on the legacy that Bungie left us with.
As I’ve said before, not everything in the campaign is on the soundtrack. I’m not sure why this is the case, but I do know that there are plenty more nods to the original score in the game itself than what the OST would have you think.
Personally, I’m ready to move on from Marty O’Donnell. His music was fantastic, and always will be, but I’m starting to like Neil Davidge’s music so much more–with or without the old themes intact.
…or, maybe there is no Halo classic motiff in this one because there is no Halo rings around… Just Requiem.
If you listen closely to “117” you can hear it!
> If you listen closely to “117” you can hear it!
Was about to say, you sort of get that “Classic Halo” sound to it.
We were told from the get-go that the theme wouldn’t return fully. It’s sprinkled a bit in 117, barely, but that’s it.
Isn’t “Never Forget” making a return? Sounds pretty classic to me.
Yeah! Why didn’t they include Marty’s music on the sound track for a game he didn’t work on at all?
Correction my friend, the Never Forget theme is in there, changed up of course, and a lot of Marty’s original scales (you’ll know what this means if you know music, I do) have been used through out the soundtracks but drastic changes have been brought. Plus its a new trilogy and a new start so what the heck, its still awesome
I’m not bothered by it at all. There is a small little bit of it in “117” as someone already said. Personally this Halo OST is my favorite. It just hits it on the head. Each song has its own feel. Just amazing.
Actually there are classic themes, you brilliant people cant even look on Youtube or google to see it would seem. They are also adding more tracks to the Limited Edition of the soundtrack, possibly including the classic themes used in the game.
Mind Blown, two seconds of searching!
I will blame you all if its taken off Youtube immediately afterwards.

This soundtrack has a much more epic, and emotional feel to most of its songs than anything the Original Trilogy offers except Never Forget, which is actually in the game, so the Icing on the Cake.
This one has a feel that just pulls you into it, and it will fit with the game I am quite sure.
