I knew that immediately! Lol! Halo isn’t my favorite game or even my favorite shooter but this is one of the most epic sounds you’ll ever hear. I love the Mjolnir Mix with Steve Vai though.
this drum track and bpm has been used so many times in the series, theres the main theme, covenant dance, one final effort, i believe unyielding and reclaimer use it, tip of the spear seems to use a beat similar to this, rock anthem to save the world, this drum track has become the very essence of the first 3 games for sure.

This played during Two betrayals when you're trying to cross one of the bridges and the covenant are fighting the flood. Two betrayals is the best level IMO it just captures the sheer desperation of Chief's situation. The covenant, who spent the whole game slaughtering the humans, are now trying to regroup in vain, no more Marines are left, 343 is trying to destroy the galaxy. It's epic and music like this plays throughout the level to just top it all off.
It plays in keyes too jumping down the hole in the ship. Was annoying the put a health kit on the hole but you can't touch it without a flycam teleport. ( for pc anyways )
I agree. Two Betrayals is the quintessential Halo experience. Every weapon except the scorpion tank is available for the player to use during the mission and almost every single enemy type is encountered during the mission, with all three enemy factions (Covenant, Flood, Sentinels) trying to kill you as well as each other. I don't think any other mission in the entire series came close to capturing that feel again. The closest ones I can think of are Gravemind from Halo 2 and Long Night of Solace from Reach.
343 trying to destroy the galaxy is given a new meaning or should i say the whole fuckin halo franchise unlike johnson, 343 does not know what the girls like!!1!!!

Those deep pounding drums and that wailing voice of Marty's are just as iconic as the strings in this godlike track. Individually, they are amazing but together......just wow! 20 years of being a part of this amazing universe and nothing will ever come close to the CE theme. All of Marty's and Michael's work with Halo was phenomenal but the main theme is the unquestionable jewel in the crown for me!
@@spectrallmusic it is!! He mentioned it in a few interviews he was at the studio late at night and by himself so he went ham and added a ton of reverb and boom Mystic singing lady was born!!🤣🤣🤣
Hearing the remaster of this song in the Halo Infinite trailer got me so stoked and excited... Im happy that 343 now realizes that tracks like this, help in conveying that, “Halo feeling.”
The cassa grande gives it a militaristic feel, but the drums by themselves (and the voice) have a very primitive and primal sound, i love what this song achieves, the drums sound primitive, the strings and wind sound militaristic and the voice adds the mistery that Halo is known for, this is the definition of Halo
yeah i had to cut it from different music "stems", its how they do the dynamic music, they loop a few seconds worth of music, it took a while to get it sounding right!

Everything about CE is so much simpler yet more effective than almost everything else the other games have done. Better banter, better AI, crisper visuals, better aesthetic, better OST. I only like the Arbiter's story and improved multiplayer in later games more than what CE offered.
Now this is the old school halo. I remember when I was little when I little and this was the first game I ever played and the first time I heard this. Man oh man those was good times. You the real MVP for uploading this bro 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
If not the best darn near the best. Definitely the most popular and well known due to Halo/Microsoft’s great publicity. One of my favorites. Gets me hype for the day! 👊🏽
Martin has stated various times that he loves to makes every instrument sound great even if its on its own, this being the main theme of Halo CE but just the percussions. I believe he has similar unreleased tracks for almost every song in the original trilogy
Contrary to what everyone else thinks of when they hear this, my mind IMMEDIATELY jumps to the desperate bridge fight between the covenant and the flood in two betrayals
The voice in the backround was recycled and lowered for halo 2's broken gates. You can can also hear the words "Stand Tall" uttered near the end of the voice chanting.
does anyone know what percussion and drums were used?, i can identify a timpani and a strong punch snare, cymbal and maybe toms. But i dont know what percussions were used in this theme
Has anyone made the connection between this series and cowboy beebop. I am just watching CB for the first time and I grew up on halo and I can’t stop making references. What an amazing series

"No we need to fight"
Get ready
Probably gonna be worth it this time lmao

Do not press like at all. 117 is good enough. Anyway, where's the music momment?
It 's odd but it took me many MANY years to finally realize this whole track is just the Halo theme without the strings.
Truth and reconciliation
Holy shit
yeah cause marty o donnell create the soundtrack with layers so there are so many version of it

The very best BTB maps in the series to date....
2 and 3 had some good ones but nothing beat the legendary BIG ASS maps on this game....
Except CE had the best shotgun and therefore the best multiplayer
The super sniper pistol
Makes it sound like a war with Neanderthals riding dinosaurs, love it.
I listened to this song while walking home through a blizzard reminding me of Assault on the control room or two betrayals.
i wanna do this now
0:15 that drum tho
Right lmfao
The true "I need a weapon" gameplay.

I imagine this playing in my mind way too often lol
This sounds almost identical to the drums and stuff under the guitar in the halo 2 theme
because it has the same drum melody as the halo ce theme. every iteration of the halo theme has the same rythm, in halo 1, 2, 3, reach.
I guess it wasn’t released in album form but it definitely was in the game when MC wakes up.
That is correct, it's not on the official soundtrack
Now that is wat I call amazing, :D
Master Chief collection on steam
The finest of beats to this day
This series, "Mass Effect 1-3," and "The Elder Scrolls" series have the best soundtracks EVER! ❤
Don't forget "Metal Gear Solid"
Same taste. Try neverwinter nights
Don't forget destiny and minecraft
If not the best darn near the best. Definitely the most popular and well known due to Halo/Microsoft’s great publicity. One of my favorites. Gets me hype for the day! 👊🏽
Such an iconic piece of music.
And to think it's been 20 years since we took our first steps onto that ring...

This drips hard
The start of the pillar of autumn:
"I need a weapon"
2:07 2:08 20 years 20 long years
The halo theme might be great but can we all agree that it’s the percussion that carries all the hype of the song?
This and winter contingency are the most fun on kit
The actual voice of Marty O’Donnell at 0:25
TastyWaterMelon No it’s a guy’s voice...
TastyWaterMelon Unmm...It’s definitely HIS voice. He demonstrates in on his own RUclips channel. Go look it up if you don’t believe me.
i like how the choir starts at 1:17

This plays on the pillar of autumn
BEAUTIFUL!

good news, a song just leaked for infinite (track 3) that sounds just like this
@@Delta-lg7hh nice, thanks for letting me know
Funniest thing is that the vocals you hear in the song are all Marty's

not a drill

THANK YOU! I have been dying to hear how it sounds!
i think about this song every day

AWESOME!

does anyone know what percussion and drums were used?, i can identify a timpani and a strong punch snare, cymbal and maybe toms. But i dont know what percussions were used in this theme
I'm very curious to find this out as well
Pretty sure this plays on POA, when your getting to the captain & on Halo when you get into the warthog for the very first time.
it feels odd without the iconic "DUN DUN DUN DUN!!!" part that pairs well with the drums and such
Can someone list out the instruments used in this song
Why isn’t this in the dang soundtrack?
*intense jumping*
LES'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
First battle use Luffys drums of liberation: win the battle, second use drums of 117: Win the war.
I don't know why but i find this... Apocalyptic
This song later became Warthog Run
Has anyone made the connection between this series and cowboy beebop. I am just watching CB for the first time and I grew up on halo and I can’t stop making references. What an amazing series
This is spartan 62.
Reporting for duty.
This soundtrack is familiar to warthog run but I love it
Any info on why this is unreleased? It's iconic as hell

I kinda prefer this over the warthog run …. (For now currently at 2:55 so basically 3 am which might change in the morning so Yh by e )
getting in the warthog for the first time like
Make a 1 hr version G
There coming in through the door! Ahhhhhh Cheif this way
I feel like it plays as ambient as just filler music until you kill the enemies or reach a trigger point.
What drums are these?
