@@roundregent1679 I mean, Halo 2 had some cut stuff during development, but that hardly makes it on the lower end of the series lol. When you look at the alternatives like Halo 1 having the last four missions being full of rehashed environments and setpieces, on top of having missions you pretty much just play backwards, (presumably due to time constraints.) Halo 3 having a lot of flat out filler missions. Halo 2 losing one or two missions here and there (when it already had the largest count of missions,) isn't really a big deal.
“Rue and Woe” one of the best pieces that Marty composed for the series. The original H2 version is the best sounding one too. H3 also has a good version in “Black Tower” during Miranda’s attempted rescue of Johnson and Truth igniting the Halo rings.
I remember so clearly the first time I got on that Wraith as a kid feeling powerful and indistructuble destroying Brute ghosts ...some of the best memories of my childhood. Halo 2 such an amazing game
"Listen, you don't like me and I'm sure as hell I don't like you but if we don't do something, Mr. Mohawk is going to activate this ring and we're all going to die."
The 3:16 mark when you're fighting a looming Phantom and remaining Brutes guarding a Forerunner entryway, with the subsiding rainstorm coating the landscape and a distant Covenant ship's presence over the serene artificial ocean is.....purely atmospherically pleasing to the eyes. Gaming is ART....
No, just this and Oracle. There were a few tracks that I wasn't able to locate and someone was kind enough to provide them for me, so I went back and added them in.
+benmarshall801 Do you know what the name of the song is that plays towards the end of Heretic, Hero? Another uploader has called the Anniversary version Common Areas B3, however i'd like to know the name of the original version, too.
Who else has played this game as a kid so much that they can rememorise all the lines, from the cutscene, in game etc, and also all the level designs, Easter eggs and weapon placement.... also when all the music placements. Like I listen to a halo 2 track and instantly recognise where that goes...
There's was this guy I remember when I was little like maybe 8 or 9 years old when I first saw this game I asked my mom to buy it for me and when I told the owner of that game store I wanted to get this game he told me no and I asked why and he told me I'm not at my age and I was like come on man let the little guy get this game cause I have heard it that it was the best game there is and the register guy says no to me in front of my mom and I was pissed off from that guy ever since but my mom talked to the guy and he told me it's only if you have a older sibling with you to play this game and my mom says it's okay so I was lucky to have this game , still I'm pissed off from that guy still and I can't get my mind off of it.
Ricardo Perez I had my older brother basically make my childhood for games. If he played Morrowind, I played Morrowind. If he played Halo or COD, I play Halo or COD. Its as simple as that, without him. I wouldn’t know what type of games I would be playing now, or if I would be playing games at all. Halo 2 was like one of the first real games I played that had a story and cutscenes and a shooting experience with it. It’s always cemented in my head on what goes in this game, the graphics, music, lines or dialogue, the art style, guns and plenty more. It’s almost poetic really, it’s basically us in the future and we play as the badass green man, killing all in site. Well, that was my point of view when I was 4 or 5 I think. But halo wasn’t the only thing I played back then. A lot of Crash Bandicoot, Oddworld, Metal Arms, Serious Sam etc. I was the definitive gamer back then. But I pale in comparison to my older brother who got all these games for himself, then to me. Cause when I was that age, he was around 12-16. I’m 17 and I barely get games cause my parents are very strict on it... But yeah, life was simpler back then .... but I’m real sorry you couldn’t enjoy what times you had as a child... maybe you played games like I did but not “Halo 2” until later... I don’t know
I never had Xbox live during the OG xbox days. I had some other games but I would literally replay the Halo 2 campaign all the time. Sometimes I would just play a level because I really liked it or wanted to explore and notice small details in the level.
From 1990 to 2018 ..... Spartans never die.. Oh my god my chilhood , my memories , my whole life in this masterpiece soundtrack there is no explanation else that I can explain... this is my life
the seventh song, anyone know what it's called, such a memorable part of the game for me, i once had no banshee to get to the top of the tower but then an elite came and dropped me one saying the words " take my banshee arbiter!" i'll never forget it.
Arbiter: Tartarus... The Prophets have betrayed us. Tartarus: No Arbiter! The Great Journey will become and Brutes NOT the Elites shall be the Prophets escort.
El final en el minuto 10:08 es hermoso, impresionante las sensaciones que se perciben, es un final bonito a diferencia de la versión normal que tiene un final épico así como destructivo. Lo extraño y curioso es que esta version es la que se escucha en el juego evidentemente, pero así mismo es inaudible por alguna razón. Yo siempre me preguntaba por qué en el final se bajaba el volumen y se acababa (eso pensaba yo) pero no es que como es un final melodioso no se escucha muy fuerte por eso para uno que juega el juego es casi imposible de escuchar esa música secreta o oculta. No tenía idea que era por eso hasta que me dí cuenta.
De verdad amigo yo nunca sabía que se escuchaba algo al final, siempre pensé que se cortaba la música, después de muchos años me doy cuenta que la versión de Earth city escuchada en esta misión era otra totalmente diferente. Lo extraño es que esta versión nunca fue lanzada oficialmente y no hay forma de escucharla sólo haciendo lo que hiso este canal de RUclips. A la vez me da pena y me sienta un poco mal eso porque es una buena música pero al final pues se quedó así. Creeme que mucha gente ni siquiera sabe de esto, te lo aseguro. No los culpo ya que yo también durante muchos años desconocí esto. Pero es increible.
I find 343, when they remastered the audio, just ended up making their music way too loud. It covers up things that are happening in the game (and I can't find a way to turn it down, which was a real 'what?' moment. There's no audio controls) so I end up playing the original Halo 2 for most of the time I'm playing Anniversary anyway, hahah.
10:07 - 10:38 Esa parte le tienes que subir un chingo en el juego para que se oiga, ya que es cuando Johnson empieza a hablar por radio y esa parte es prácticamente inaudible.

halo 2 is the best halo game ever
I agree. It's a kill play this game hearing the music.
Halo Reach beta in my opinion is my number 1 favorite halo game on my list, but Halo 2 is definitely 1A on my list. This game is awesome.
Marvin Hendges I honestly love halo 3 way more halo 2 was just not completed and that's why it is in my lowest list of halo games
@@roundregent1679 I mean, Halo 2 had some cut stuff during development, but that hardly makes it on the lower end of the series lol.

@Marvin Hendges Halo 3 was the best.
"Please, don't shake the lightbulb. "
Sgt. Johnson was just the best...
When they killed him at the end of 3, oh the fury and disappointment.
14:20-15:27
Words can't describe the emotions felt

“Rue and Woe” one of the best pieces that Marty composed for the series. The original H2 version is the best sounding one too. H3 also has a good version in “Black Tower” during Miranda’s attempted rescue of Johnson and Truth igniting the Halo rings.
"Tartarus, the prophets have betrayed us...."
Honestly, I preferred the original H2 version of this music over the Halo 2: Anniversary version.
Dude kyle welsh i have been finding this soundtrack for years and years and finally
I remember so clearly the first time I got on that Wraith as a kid feeling powerful and indistructuble destroying Brute ghosts ...some of the best memories of my childhood. Halo 2 such an amazing game
Isn’t every halo game amazing in its own way
"Tartarus, the Prophets have betrayed us."
The most poignant line read in this game, and perhaps the entire series.
13:37 Brute: DO NOT LET THE ARBITER INTO THE CHAMBER, THE CHIEFTAIN MUST COMPLETE THE HOLY WORK
the opening cinematic theme has such a "this is definitely the last level in the campaign" feel to it
"Listen, you don't like me and I'm sure as hell I don't like you but if we don't do something, Mr. Mohawk is going to activate this ring and we're all going to die."
"Tartarus has locked himself in the control room"
"Well, I just happen to have a key."
"Come on. Grab a Banshee and give me some cover. He's gonna know we're comin."
“Master chief, you mind telling me what you’re doing on that ship?”
“Sir, finishing this fight.”
0:58 Holy shit the feels
10:56 brings back memories of my awesome childhood
Ambient sounds are the best .....
Snow
Metallic Walls
Blue light
_Halo 1-3 are the best halo games period_
19:40 who else getting the chills while singing this
100000%
this is one of my fav themes in halo, the eco and all
its soo goooood!@@hellsniper4418
It’s easily the best of all the monk chants.

Anthony Thanks, i'll take a look :).
That's ok
Are ambience soundtracks, the ambience soundtracks doesn't has name.
3:28 Through the caves has the CE feel to it .
(Late) I think the drums is a slowed down version of Covenant Dance's drums, if you think about it.
My favourite is from 0:32 to 3:10. Brings back so many memories. Especially starting at 2:25
I always had a soft spot for Impend.
Yes, 2:25 was PEAK dopamine levels 😂😂
That woodwind sound at the beginning is tremendous.
Halo 2 is the best game ever made and that is not up for speculation. What an absolute masterpiece of a soundtrack and a game
MY FAVORITE AND MOST MEMORABLE CHILDHOOD MISSION. THANK YOU HALO 2
0:32 Everyone knows this tune.
Damm good😆

"HEY BASTARDS. KNOCK KNOCK"
I love what they did with Earth City in this level, not reusing the part that played in metropolis and putting that dreamy fade out at the end
my only mission was to save the 2 councilors and the hunters

Daif RL33 I can hear High Charity and High Charity suite in there but there's a couple that's not in either of the two released volumes.
That elite does that every time. It's a scripted event that happens in every playthrough, not some special moment.
10:55-12:06 the most beautyful soundtrack for a videogame…….the gate of haven…😌🕊🪐🎋🌊🌳⛰🌌
“Master Chief, you mind telling me what you’re doing on that ship?”

“Sir... finishing this fight.”
Arbiter: Tartarus... The Prophets have betrayed us.
Tartarus: No Arbiter! The Great Journey will become and Brutes NOT the Elites shall be the Prophets escort.
This is one of the only missions where I prefer the old soundtrack to the anniversary.
it's only appropriate that the final level of this game starts off with the same track that the first level does
