Halo reach beta trailer music must be used

How has that music never been used in another halo game? It would suit a big battle in the middle of the main campaign or some kind of chase.

Huh, wondered where that track was from, swore it was Halo but couldn’t figure out which.

I loved that musical track. It looks like the full version only exists as part of the soundtrack released for Halo: Reach. It was never used in-game and might not even be in the game files.

Martin O’Donnell, the composer at Bungie for Halo: Reach, may be able to provide some insight to it. He has a youtube page and a Twitter. He recently got sued by Bungie over releasing unfinished Destiny music that Bungie owned the rights to, but I think he’s recovered and the dust has settled. I have no clue if he’s spoken about that track before. He might have.
