Halo 4 Soundtrack Samples

I know these samples aren't brand new but I just stumbled across them and thought they sounded pretty good. Halo's original soundtrack by Marty O'Donnell is quite famous. Even gamers who aren't Halo fans no the Halo music when they hear it. I don't doubt that Halo 4's will be good but I wonder if they'll be able to create a soundtrack that is as memorable as Marty's.

It is "Know" not "No"

Right. Bit of a brain fart. You win. By the way, you forgot to end your sentence with a period. ;)

I have been listening to the small number of the Halo 4 tracks shown so far for some time, tying to make a judgement, but until I hear the whole thing, and until I see it with the drama, and visuals within Halo 4 that these tracks are meant to embellish I can't really judge. I think they sound good so far and I am happy that they are not just copying the old trilogy tracks, and remixing them all, but I suppose the have not had the effect on me that the Reach or Halo 2 soundtracks did when I first heard them.

Reach and Halo 2 are my favourite Halo soundtracks, they are my favourite soundtracks in general actually.

@big_jon: I've listened to this sample a few times now and it's really growing on me.

I'm right there with you on the Halo 2 and Reach soundtracks. Some of my faves. I dunno about you but I'd also have to add ODST to the mix. The game and the soundtrack were a departure, at least the solitary sections in New Mombasa, and I really enjoyed it. The scores for video games in general have been getting steadily better over the years. I guess, it's because the audience has gotten larger and of course there is more money so top tier composers are willing to get involved.

ODST had a great sound track too, but I liked Halo 2's and Reach's so damn much.

It's going to take a lot to even match the brilliance of Marty O'Donnell's Halo soundtracks, but they are definitely on the right track. Can't wait to hear the whole thing this fall.

Pure love.

Halo 4

The first game in the second trilogy of the Halo series has the Master Chief awakening from cryostasis (four years after the events of the previous trilogy) as he explores the mysterious Forerunner shield world Requiem, fights a newly-formed Covenant group, and accidentally awakens an ancient evil.
