@@Spartan8999 Yeah, check Marty's channel. He stayed in the studio late one night and screamed gibberish into the microphone, composing much of the vocals that we recognize from the CE soundtrack.
@@poopymcsnoopy They both sound similar. I personally was in your boat until a few days ago. I listened to A Walk in the Woods and it made me want to play Truth and Rec, so I played it, and this is what played instead.
One of the most atmospheric moments in the whole series is walking out of the tunnel during two betrayals, this song starts and the screen says "final run"
It’s a vaguely similar situation, but the tone is somehow the same despite the vast differences. In Truth and Reconciliation, you’re sneaking around the darkness picking off enemies from a distance. Then in Two Betrayals, you’re still sneaking around at night but you’re watching a large battle unfold, and the white snow reflects enough ambient light that it isn’t dark
Perfect for being out with the boys on a cold winter night. Big house, close to the woods. Every ones back from a hunting trip and ready to finish the night on a LAN party
I’m old. I played Halo CE on my Xbox I received for Christmas in 2001. The game is fantastic, but I think Marty’s music is what makes a Halo game a Halo game. It is visceral and makes you feel like a bada$$ when playing the game.
Facts. Marty's music gives Halo its soul. Without Marty, it just doesn't feel the same, it doesn't feel like Halo. I just played Infinite, and then gameplay is feels like old Halo, the storyline is great, but it still felt lacking. The soundtrack really isn't anything memorable and you don't even notice it most of the time. Back with Marty, the music added flavor and depth to every cutscene, every battle.
@@lordrevanz16 I think Infinite has a solid soundtrack but I see what you mean. It’s mainly the fact that most of the tracks in Infinite are randomly played so for example, I’ve never heard the Infinite version of under cover of night once. We like originals better because those linear games allowed each track to play during a specific section allowing a track to shine in the game whereas in Infinite, it’s a dice roll to see if you get a new track. In Infinite, I only remembered Escharum’s theme and the monitor’s theme.
Marty's music feels unique, I think. The music is supposed to have this ancient tone because of how old the Forerunners and Covenant are, but it's so ahead of its time no one managed to replicate it. I like the soundtracks after Halo 3, but they're so epic and so big, but don't have that uniqueness that makes Halo unique.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a-27bQ8UVks.html This guy made a video with all of Halo's leitmotifs. It's 4 parts, so Perchance to Dream ought to be in there.
As the Chief moved onward through the artificial tunnel he is yet again met with the entrance he had previously fought his way through what felt like years ago but in reality was only a couple of days he is yet again trudging through ankle deep snow staring into the rings night sky when he reaches the precipice and sees a covenant encampment besieged from all sides by an unyielding foe the whining of plasma fire and staccato of automatics broken only by heavy explosives brought on by both sides and the screeching of banshees in the air...then he sees it the final platform to the last set of phase pulse generators the chief is yet again steeled in his resolve to see this mission through all thats left is a final run.
I never think of firing that first sniper shot, I never think of Chief walking out of the cave, I think of Daisy running home to find she’s no longer welcome and running to her death…
thanks for the high quality upload! Always adore the original the most. heck, that whole soundtrack is so sublime and alien yanno? I feel like they use too much orchestral pieces nowadays in sci fi; which doesn't mean it's horrible, but the vibe with synthesizers is just limitless...
The baseline underneath the chord progression is just so fucking amazing. Then when you think about the storyline and what it all means it brings chills.
This brings old emotions back i cant describe its like im seeing not just a game but a whole timeline of my life flashing before me inner eye. all these emotions and memories feel so familiar and strange at the same time. it feels like it happened 1 week ago and not 20 years ago... its crazy to think that our senses like smelling, hearing, seeing, touching, tasting something familiar we havent felt for a long time can wake up memories that our brain just couldnt replay... this is when all the emotion are striking so hard and we know "this is reality right now"
I love the halo soundtracks so very much, still brings such intense emotions to the surface with every track. I'm so glad I got to grow up with this series
There’s actually an ODST version you forgot. Plays during the Legendary Epilogue and can be heard on the track finale on the soundtrack. Also Infinite has one which came out after this video.
Love the original most of all the ce aniversary was really good tho and the halo 2 version is very suspensful halo 2 aniversary is pretty good to and 3 is different from all other versions but very hard to decide which is the most superior i love them all this song in general just very well created the perfect amount of rhythm erie tone and suspenseful beat combined to make an excellent song
Under cover of the night makes me feel sad specially because you have to kill poor grunts in Truth and reconciliation and try to save them from the marines or from the flood in Two betrayals and is even sadder cause is almost impossible to save them... #Allgruntslivesmatters :'(
Think the reason I didn’t remember this one too well is because there wasn’t any night missions in h3 and the decided to play it on friggin CROWS NEST of all missions
Infinite completely butchered it, Marty gave it soul. Like wtf man games used to be art projects, a collaborative effort to be proud of, and now they are simply products with shallow hype.
Wow the AE version is so much worse than the original. Turned what was a powerful clean bassline into some kind of garbled mess that isn't even mixed properly. As a bass player i cannot recommend.
Infinite's 'undercover', yet another variation of the tune, was in my opinion better than all of these except for the OG CE version. The CE one hits the hardest
