I feel weird saying this but ODST’s soundtrack, in my opinion, manages to be a lot deeper than any of the games in the original trilogy. Idk what it is. I think ODST’s soundtrack just captures the lonely feeling and the hopelessness that the UNSC and humanity feel as they’re losing a hopeless war against the Covenant.
No you’re correct and your 3M buddies who you never met because that’s a lot of Odsts but still you feel sad and miss your friends now they’re dead because of the covenant!! So now you feel the need to go out with a bang....and destroy them! They destroyed your best friends! Your family! Your Brothers arms! Now they will pay but you’re the only one left, what do I do now? Depressed and lonely there’s no hope.......while I like Master Chief I think Jesus Christ is best! Idc what anyone thinks God is first! But master cheif second like Steve Downes........event that old man it makes me want to cry I hope I get to attend his funereal when he passes away a true legend that I never personally but still......I’d like to meet him of course not be apart of his life because I’m just a freaking stranger but who does not?!
it felt as if the halo in the video right now the halo was in there all alone in the universe and was the last halo of it kinds because of all the mission lots of them died and this halo in the cover was the last kind and it like the last halo just went out at the rainy day looking to see how all this has changed and that the war was finally over and so the last halo just have a brief peace until his life end.
This is just what i think, and it really sad but it a good end 😢
@@IsraelCountryCube yeah
Israel Country Cube what are you on about?
This game kinda reminds me of a book called All Quiet On the Western Front.
Rainy night in Vancouver right now. Taking a late walk in the rain with this track with the view of the lit city and the night sky and wet streets with no one around, and the simple reflection of the moon on the ocean's horizon while the raindrops patter the water....its heaven. Warm air. Halo does this track so well.
Even though 3 is my favorite Halo, this soundtrack, in my opinion, is the best of the series. It must be because I have a bias towards Jazz.
+Captain Cuh I'm pretty sure this soundtrack is expressly intended to sound like "empty rainy city at night". I'm not sure what exactly invokes that feeling, but I can't picture this with anything else beyond deep space, which almost feels the same anyway.
beautiful music
you are so lucky!
Are you low on ammo as well? Lol
Reach had a heavy, beautiful narrative; Halos 1-3 had epic, driving soul. But ODST is the one game I’ve consistently leaned on when revisiting the series. Nothing feels more comfortable than being all on your own, no breath wasted, no moment squandered, swallowed in a mosaic of reflective neon and the dark embrace of a warm downpour, with nothing but your weapon and your will to keep you upright. Marty O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori could not have captured the feeling of noble solitude better if they had an entire lifetime working at it. Thank you for this compilation.
Someone was top of their class in English
Noble solitude is such a perfect phrase for describing ODST, I was actually struck just reading that. Well said.
Well said, blud.
@@badgerman2229Pays to know your own language. Or at least one of the most commonly used languages in the world.
Bungie, Martin O'Donnell, and Michael Salvatori really have created something special here. Never have I played a game where the atmosphere and depths of the story have been so beautifully captured by the accompanying music.
Which 343 hired O'Donnell

Danpie you spoke truth my son
Danpie damn right
Chrono Trigger did it for me.
Halo: Combat Evolved - The Original
Halo 2 - The Lovable
Halo 3 - The Nostalgia
Halo 3 ODST - The Best Music
Halo Reach - The Sadest Campaign
For me is:
Halo CE: the original
Halo 2: good history
Halo 3: Nostalgia
Halo 3 odst: The best music, the best ambientation.
Halo reach: THE BEST CAMPAING AND MULTIPLAYER.
@@HEXCARCERI Reach was KING.
For me it was 3 but thats just my opinion
3 and reach 👌
@@HEXCARCERI the halo reach campaign was a joke compared to this game but still good tho especially new Alexandra
I like ODST’s beginning because you’re not some war machine Spartan like chief. You’re a marine that’s the closest thing to a Spartan but still a marine. Your mission goes wrong and you’re separated from your squad with covenant ships and soldiers patrolling the streets in some big ass city having to figure out where your squad is even though it’s been hours since they’ve been there and you think they already left you.
It's the pain of being alone from your operating unit. So you are using the best of your training to regroup with your squad which must happen because your original mission couldn't go as planned.
Unlike chiefs shields; the only thing standing between you and a plasma shot is Kevlar. Use your whits here soldier, they’re all you have left.
Which is ironic because ODST is the easiest of all the halos on legendary. It actually makes me laugh that the ballistic vest you wear is stronger than the armor of a Spartan.
Yea, this music and the bleak, nighttime setting where you're uncovering what happened to the team made the whole game feel like a playable film noir detective story. Even piecing together the audio logs was really interesting. The soundtrack alone was one of my favorite things about this game. Definitely one of my favorites in the series.
@@kingofworms831 when gameplay mechanics != lore lol
Rookie walking the empty wet streets of New Mombasa at night will always be one of the most memorable, impactful and harrowing moments of my gaming life. What a game
The halo franchise is beautiful story backed by a beautiful soundtrack.
Charlie Jackson i mean, halo is pretty good. But have you played half life. Cuz without half life. There would be no halo.
Bungie made fps games before valve were even a company lmao
@@ddestroymode3171 half life was released in 1998 when halo only started development in 1997. In which it wasn't even a fps. It was some shitty real time strategy game.
@@ddestroymode3171 Half Life 1 still came out before Bungie decided to make Halo CE into a story driven tactical FPS game. What game do you think inspired them to go that route? What other story driven tactical FPS game came out before Halo did? Honestly, both Half Life and Halo are both pioneers of story driven shooters. If it wasn't for either one, we wouldn't have awesome games like Resistance, Killzone, or Borderlands.
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” Thank you Bungie for letting me experience such masterpieces. Unfortunately those days are over. The old guard halo fans have grown up, no more staying up past bedtime with friends playing halo. Those nights were truly great. No stress. Easy life. No pain. Man I miss those days.
I do too. Playing with my cousins during 2010 was the shit. Now I am staying up not to have the best time of my life, but in doing a stupid school project i'm going to do terribly on anyways. I wanna go back man. I want to feel what I felt back then. Hell, even reach feels like a shell of its former self. Im more distant with my cousins than ever. Life has taken a toll for the worst. But at the very least im not getting glassed by covenant ships right? Well, lets hope we find something new and intresting. I hope we can finish what bungie started: Making people feel happy in troubld times. God bless them and god bless all of you guys here. Peace.
We all do, friend. We all do.
Sigh...
Hit me right in the feels and the music is just amazing marty really knew how to make the emotions flow
You never realise the good days till' their gone.
;_;
Today I lost a dear friend, my cat of 15 years, who I named "Chief". As I listen to this, I feel a bittersweet melancholy looking back on our time together, many times he'd sit by me as I played through the various Halo games. It's been an honor serving with you, Chief.
AaronThe EpicBoy my reverse brindle boxer's name is chief. i remember the day i got him i knew what i was naming him from the start. this game has touched so many lives
I am sorry, hope you are better now
Damn dude that’s really touching bruh this song connects me with many things halo in general dose I’m sry bout chief though he sounds like a badass
Sounds like you two had awesome times together. Thanks for sharing.
Wow this is really sad. Rip Cheif.
Playing this on a snowy night when the sky is a deep hue of purple, it’s something else

There is one track that is missing between (13:01-15:03)
Marty O Donnel... The John Williams of video games
That saxophone in or around the 14 minute mark was just sexy.
It's been 12 years. ODST came out in 2009. I still remember walking down those void streets of New Mombasa, desperate not to be seen, picking and looting leftovers from a battle that ended hours ago. Contacting the Monitor and trying to make sense of it, aswell the entire situation. The outlines of the environments in the midnight shade. The choking corridors of dark buildings, going from room to room and clearing them. The broken screen with a helmet lodged in it. The empty med-gel canister. All, by that point, relics of what had happened before. The rain pouring down, lending the most desperate of time some tranquility. The fires casting a sick smoke into the skies and painting them all hues of orange and yellow. The fights on the skyscrapers, running a Warthog dry with the last tank of fuel, the endless hordes storming a plaza. A tank led by a couple brave souls smashing down fortifications of the invader. The mystery laid bare as you persevere, and what needs to be done.
Holy sh**, that was amazing.
Talk about a trip down memory lane, can literally picture every scene you just described in my head. The moment we shall Never Forget.
@@thearbiter2701 Thank you kindly, I was very drunk when I wrote that
@@tnhemi4909 We were Spartans first, then we were ODST. We will never forget, as friends.
Damn, a 7 year old soundtrack making me miss the good old days, i ran home after school just to play this game on release, makes me miss halo 3 and halo 2 a lot.
Holy shit, its been seven years? God damn this is making me cry.
Evan VanWie I know that feeling
Evan VanWie it all went downhill when bungie let it go, my childhood revolved around the halo franchise and now it's just not the same thanks to Microsoft
crimson raider pure nostalgia 😔
@@DarkIronGamer 9
i freakin love that gloomy hopeless atmosphere in halo3 odst truly one of a kind
Bungie was just made up of couple of 20 year Olds in an apartment making games... the legendary team that made games that would touch generations... they were just out there to follow their dreams... and they did...but what changed... what happened to bungie... sadly all good things must come to an end... Microsoft really was to blame for the end of bungie... corporate greed was now the primary objective of the gaming franchise... the original Bungie wasn't there for that... they cared about the experience, the fans, and the community. Now it just a franchise with a community torn in two between new and old. It's a tragic ending to such a great game and development team. I almost get the same feeling as if someone had passed away... the game series had been such a big part of my life and many others... farewell bungie, thanks for the great experience you gave to us all. "It's been one hell of a ride. See you starside".
+Dr Shemp You just put into words everything i feel about the present situation T_T its fucking sad, i grew up with Bungie and the original halo trilogy....... there was a video in the bonus disc in the halo 3 legendary edition where members of bungie get asked where do you see bungie in 10 years from now... next years it will be 10 years and its just fucking sad......... everything worthwhile has an ending but i still think that the original members of bungie should just get together and fund a new project.
I agree,I can't play Destiny without being annoyed at the stupid grinding. We are in a dark era of gaming.
reading this really hit me as the music played sadly...
you just gave me the most Goosebumps in ages, good job bro :)
duuude you just gave me goosebumps. It's exactly how i feel! I'm sitting at work right now dreaming of all the great times i had playing these games. huge part of my life. wont EVER forget it. Martin O'Donnell we love you!!
Halo odst just oozes style and atmosphere like no other game/film i can think of, such a underappreciated gem.
Everyone is like "OMG Minecraft OST is so nostalgic omggg" but are we all going to forget the bueatiful, quiet sountrack made by Martin? His work extremely matches the ingame scenario and place, i love it
Well this is ironic. I was listening to this video WHILE playing Minecraft.
@@drrisen-9442 epic
Those Cowboy Bebop vibes. They should use this in an anime. This soundtrack is too good to be lost to history.
ODST drops on steam this summer, and the firefight returns on all systems. I don't think we'll need to worry.
I must be responsible for at least 90,000 of these veiws
Christian B how
Masked Mason its called a joke my dude. Step it up
Zach Smoyer sure
I must be 20.000
Christian B You and me both pal.
Who listen to halo 3 ODST music when it’s night rain falling next to you and you are just chilling in your room
Why there aint no Oscars and Emmys and whatnot for OST music??
People that made this shit need some recognition. Not only money but something more, some kind of love and gratitude and shit
Not many games manage to capture the same atmosphere as Mombasa Streets.
The one thing you can't get back is your first time experiencing Halo, But the memories you had of it.
We all wish we were younger to experience that moment again, that moment of pure happiness and sadness. Thank you, Bungie, Martin, and Micheal for creating this.
Thank you for all those nights of multiplayer with friends.
When it was time to go your friend would say "Let's play again sometime" knowing you will never see them again, and now you're that the last member of your team playing alone and you remember all those times, and only sadness fills it. The last thing you see is their profile saying *Last been on 3 years ago* but you remember that they're just missing in action and not gone.

I first played ODST when I was 12 years old. I grew up in a fairly naïve world, and played video games for most of my childhood until end of highschool. Now I'm 25 years old and am married. I'm being faced with the scariest and most impossible challenges I knew people struggled with when they were in the deep water of adulthood. I also became a Christian 1 year ago.
Bungie had a lot of love for its fans and I can't help but wonder if they knew of all the troubled young men that were coming out of their youth in this generation and how much Halo would mean to them. Now I truly feel like I can appreciate the Rookie. I'm surrounded by darkness and am being forced to face it in uncharted land. I never expected to feel this out-gunned, and disoriented despite preparing so much. The Rookie who has been put into a situation way above what he was expecting, and earlier too. His preparation completely undermined by circumstance, and his fate entirely at the hands of what lurks around the next corner.
The Christian battle is real. It is not a worldly optimization, nor a cultural fit, or an in-group. The living God is entirely real and we are about to see the real battle begin. I don't need to make any political statements for you to know what I'm talking about. And even if you've kept your head down from that, you can still feel it within yourself, or your family. But we will lose on earth and will not raise sword against it, only the Gospel. Christ is our only salvation, and I pray you put your trust in Him.
7 years later, I'm still crying when I listen to this game's OST.
RIP Rookie, I still miss you. At least you didn't die horribly in one of the game.
At least he wasn't in a 343 Industries game.
Anthony Tran
So much yes, sir.
GalloViking
Actually, if you follow up on the lore....
He actually does dies.
He was captured by the modern day Insurrectionists and was executed.
His death caused Alpha-9 team to split up and ultimately pursuade Buck to join Fireteam with Locke, Palmer, and someone else I forgot.

@@rays8521 no they arent

I didn't have a 360 growing up, but i had friends who did and playing halo online was some of the most fun i ever had. It's so incredibly sad that the servers are being shut down, and thankfully we have the masterchief collection to go to if we want our fix, but i don't think it'll ever be the same as those long past good times. Growing up, closing in on 30 years old now I don't talk with my friends too often, as we've all begun to go down our separate paths in life but that's okay. I'll cherish those memories forever. If any of my friends come across this comment, know that I love you guys, and my life would have been much more bleak without you guys.
Back when I was ten, I would go over my friends house on the weekends, bring my Xbox, and we’ll just stay up all night playing this specific game. The nostalgia is real man.
when 2:25 comes on: "MA HEART MAN, IT HURTS"
Noche fría en México. Mis padres no estan en casa, escuchar esto y cocinar solo para mi cerca de navidad es como magia pura... Halo siempre estará presente en mi vida de una manera muy especial.
Put it on a Bluetooth speaker and open your windows, man. See if someone starts singing the Halo theme.
Halo is best summed up to this quote "You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain."
Here’s to Halo Infinite being the game we all hope it can be
This game was so under rated. Really need an odst 2
@calum brown i wish there was but 343 decided to kill the rookie off they had 3 options develop him as a character, dont mess with him at all or, kill him and they chose to kill him
I've always been hoping for like a Medal of Honor Airborne esque ODST game that took place during the height of the war, where you can control the location where you will be dropped and attack objectives in any order you want.
A second game wouldn’t hit the same though, the mechanics would be awful and the soundtrack wouldn’t hit the same
@@viktor3155 Halo 4 shouldn't have even been made.

More than likely they ended halo with halo 3 (and the prequels odst and reach) Because they knew when to quit, or at least didn't know how to continue the story.
It’s pouring rain outside, thought this would help the mood....
It did, y’all have a good day
Halo 3 ODST came out 10 years ago now and these songs bring me back to those times. 10 years ago I was in college trying to complete my degree. During the Fall of 2009, my father was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer. Hearing these songs again makes see those times again inside my head. In fact, these songs really do fit the mood of what I was going through.
@Maqsimous thank you for posting this. Even though I was going through bad times when this game came out there were some good things in this time period for me. These songs feel like a companion for me during those times when I was struggling.
I hope you are able to read this one day and know that you brightened a user's day by sharing these songs. Thank you again.
Pre 2010s were such better times huh. If only we could turn back time
@@lonemaus562they were a different era for me.

This somehow manages to single handedly pull of the lonley theme of being an ODST.
It somehow captures my heart in an indescribable way. The theme shows the after math of invasion, of war, of fear...
I steal imagine what it must be like to be an ODST none the less of being a marine. The theme captures suspense.
I cannot thank Bungie enough for helping me develop my imagination, and also my love for the golden eror.
I am still a young child but I feel as if I was around in the golden eror. And I can only hope that infinte might just retain a bit of Bungie "spark".
Lets pray Halo Infinite will be good. I promise all will be forgiven. Please come back 343.
Yea, this is a big part of what a lot of games are lacking these days. You need music that helps sell the story, and works with the narrative, not against it. A lot of games just have generic music that doesn't necessarily go with anything happening.
fuck me, what a beautiful melody. like seriously, this is godlike. makes my heart beat.
This is such a great game. A lot of people really underrate this game, but I think it's brilliant. The film-noir vibe - helped obviously by the phenomenal soundtrack - really make this game stand out.
+Finn C Yes, it is all too frequently reduced to a simple shooter. But we know better
alguien mas escucha esto como un song y no se cansa,es que me trae mucha nostalgia estos temas
I miss playing this with my older brother after school.
The ambience in this game was surreal. An abandoned city full of flikering lights on a dark night, crawling with enemies where you have to rely on stealth to survive while you search for clues about what happened to your squadmates, all of that while having some beautiful music like these in the background. My favorite game tbh
I'm watching this one (instead of the one with rain) because, after 2 months of summer with no rain, it's raining outside :)
My god this takes me back so many years.. i'm so nostalgic right now... Thank you Martin.
Same here helps me sleep I get transported in the second part of the song into the city
What do you mean, "So many years"? It's only been a few months right?
...right?
this is so good for late night, rain laden drives
It was raining so I played this. OMG It helped me sleep so fast.
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends-
It gives a lovely light.
2022 this still hits on a deep nostalgic level. The year before my best friend moved away to Phoenix, leaving Chicagoland, me, his siblings and parents behind for good. Only to return once yearly for a week or so. Fortunately I travel for work so we still hang from time to time. Growing up & graduating high school in 2010 meant that these halo games were definitely a major part of our maturing phase. We used to ride around and listen to Deference and traffic jam while smoking when it would rain at night. Thanks Martin Odonnel And Micheal Salvatore, sorry if the spelling is wrong. Odst and Reach both still impact the way I carry myself as a man today.
My parents wouldnt let me play halo till I was ten and I remember waking up as early as I could on my birthday running over to the TV and popping Halo 3 ODST in as my first halo after watching my Dad and Brother play halo for so long. I'm so glad Halo 3 ODST was my first halo because the atmosphere was perfect and it will forever be my favorite thank you Martin O'Donnell and Bungie for crafting such a masterpiece and RIP to the best fps franchise I wish Microsoft would bring it to a close and stop spitting in the face of what the games once were...
still have my odst case, even if my disk broke nearly 4 years ago.
I still play this game. And it's 2016 right now.

There is so many boxes of Halo reach that have been either been seared from when my house got set alight or riddled with bullet holes from a break in which involved guns..
@@sharkperson3307 you live in Afghanistan!?!?
@@sharkperson3307 that happened
lets not forget why halo was made to represent those who died in wars and battles across the world may they never be forgotten thats also why they made the song dont forget
14:00 will forever be my favorite part. That sax goes so damn hard.
This music is just pure art. and remembering the old days, it brings a tear to my eye. The music, the ambiance, the story of a lost rookie wandering the streets of a dead city with no end in sight. and as the music plays and you find a new gate to open, it makes it feel like there's no end, like it goes on forever. It's cinematic.
i remember one day in LA listening to this song on break at work , my job was to fix around in Rich people Homes and there was this rich community that had big backyards and remember it was raining softly as the it splashed on all these unkown looking plants and i watched through the window. it was one of the best experiences in my life cause although it lasted briefly i was in a happy relaxed carefree zone in mind and body. it felt like i was on reach rather than new mombassa and took in the beauty that our own world has. the soothing jazz along with the rain held the power to heal. beautiful soundtrack.
NOBODY CAN EVER TOP THIS W
Big thunderstorm outside rn. Listening to this next to my window late at night. Feels good man.
I stared at my window when this played and the sky was giving off that beautiful cotton candy look that it gives off during a sunset. I nearly shed a tear.
When I was 6 years old, I played my first video game. That game was Halo. And after that I continued to play the next 3 Halos. Because Halo played such a large role in my life. I truly miss the old ways of the game. I still have them all and I will never throw them away... Thanks for the amazing experience Bungie. :)
How I miss pre 2010s.. those who know know. We are really living in different times
This game and the music really made you feel alone and scared it fits the POV of rookie because he’s new to the odst and it’s his and everyone else’s first time seeing the aliens
Not sure if you are even gonna see this, but thanks for compiling this together. I’ve been listening to it while studying and it really helps
I think this might be my favorite music from a halo game. When you playing it the music matched the rainy city and is just perfect IMO.
So much nostalgia here. The Halo series actually cuts deeper for me because all the armor design of the UNSC, Spartans and ODSTs was carried over from an even older game that I believe even the old Bungie will not continue. It was called ONI, a game inspired by the cyberpunk Ghost in the Shell. The game has its flaws, but also a great amount of untapped potential as the ending has left quite the cliffhanger.
Thanks for Halo, Bungie.
Thanks for ONI, Bungie.
You made my childhood.
Wow, someone else remembers Oni?
@@jtho8937 Yup! That game was great!
Thank you so much for compiling these songs into a video. I have been listening to this for the past two years for whenever I study for any Architecture History exam. For some reason, I think it helps.
I remember listening to this, I was about 16. Moved in to a whole new house. It was 2013.I had this free promotion line where I had 3 months of mobile service from a friend.I remember lookin up halo odst jazz videos. I listened to this alot.
Who actually listens to this when it rains with thunder?
Me, ricardo
Same
Right here lmao
me boi why?
I will now. I just recently started playing Halo and so far, I've been having a GREAT time playing CE.
So fascinating how ODST was so different from traditional halo games yet worked so well.
Just think back when you were trying to figure out how the escape pod worked, and one you got out looking for a med station to bring you're health back up.
You can relly hear parts of the Halo Reach sound track, especially the drums that create a culmination of all Halo games. A symbolic unification of the story if I must say. It is interesting to a degree how both Reach and ODST follow a sad story in its core. Reach sees the death of NOBLE team as they attempt to save Reach from the earlier covenant and at the same time carry the story that was left to them only around 9 years earlier. But ODST did come out prior to Reach so maybe there was that link in progression. The ODST saw the side of Bungie slowly losing footing especially with Halo (Im not criticizing the Halo games CE - Reach, im talking about the games afterwards) that would soon start to pull away the feeling within the community that still manages to live on with Reach coming back on pc with mod support which I see as phenomenal. But the last two Bungie halos really bring the story. No longer are you seen as this super soldier. You're much less than that in some ways. You are strong together, but still falter in some way by yourself. You could say this in reference to NOBLE team. Each remember really dies by themselves. In some somber and others explosive ways that fit into the characters. I believe it was the act man to point out the deaths and how they link to their characters. six (the lone wolf) dies alone, carter (the captain) dies in a blaze of explosive glory, emile (knife dude) gets killed by an energy sword, kat (brains) gets shot in the head, jordon (native to reach) dies off of reach, but Jun (the sniper) doesn't die, kinda fitting with the role of a sniper. Now while their isn't nearly as much death for main characters in ODST, the situation from which they are around leave a much greater atmosphere that give an emotional situation to the overarching story, which finally concludes with REACH.
When i'm lonely i always listen to this :(
I feel you on that one bud
same here man, like its 5:21AM and I'm listening to this when everyone's asleep. . .
me too
me too man ....me too
So, all the time?
I loved this games soundtrack back when it first came out. Reminded me so much of the loneliness I felt when I explored the almost abandoned city of New Mombasa, and when the music kicked up, like at around 0:51, I always felt like I was the Rookie rushing to try and find my squad after getting a new lead.
This hits differently when you are walking in the rain at night
I had to find a way to integrate gaming into homework, and this track is my go 2.
Nick Allen yes same! :)
:)
Nick Allen As I am listening to this I am writing a paper for Political Science. Same here, gotta love ODST's soundtrack.
Lol nice man.This comment reminded me of doing that. Should be useful since i just started college.
Second Lieutenant Donovan Pol Sci is pretty cool, I think I'm doing that next semester.
I always find myself either listening to or humming this soundtrack every time it’s raining. I suppose that just goes to show how immersive it is.
God the things I'd do to experience the feeling of playing this game for the first time again.... What an awesome experience I was lucky enough to be given. The atmosphere, the soundtrack, the script... Everything about this game was beautiful. A whole seven years since this masterpiece came out. I really miss that time period in my life.
You still there ? It’s been 6 since your comment.. and 13 years since the game came out.. how i miss those days. Things never got better since those days huh
What I love about this soundtrack is that it feels like Halo but it's also very different, it also feels like a prequel to Reach soundtrack
This sound track could be the very definition of ‘last seen 8 years ago”
Go all halo players we are the best and you are the best if you play the halo games
Heh love that picture but I stay a bungie/halo fan. Are you one?
3:07 kinda reminds me of those Resident Evil save rooms.
ahh.....I thank God for these amazing composers that gives me chills!

Hello,Hunk.
AlEz TairIo well hello to you too :D
It's really something how the Covenant went from equal adversaries to the UNSC, to almost fodder in the face of the Prometheans, then eventually equals again, but as allies.
In the middle of the series here, though, they were overwhelming and terrifying. The New Mombasa segments felt like a legitimate invasion -- all darkness, and constant reinforcement. Next to some Flood missions, it's the closest HALO ever got to a horror game. It's the only time in the series I would actively avoid fights and attempt to sneak by enemies. I really enjoyed the unique experience of it.
The halo series means alot too me. It was qith me throughout my childhood and sticks with me too this day. Thank you bungie.
"It only takes one mistake, kid. You went a long time before you made it."
The other ODST songs were decent, but THESE tracks are just brilliant. The best!
I can't stop listening to these tracks daily.
I miss the good old days. I remember playing this game on rainy nights with my cousin. Time goes by fast😢
2007 I turn on my console an i start to play halo 2 was amazing and in one year later halo 3 realesed awesome (i cry a little bit)
Dont mean to ramble but I also remember trying to draw that cover art as a child. It was so hard.
I’ve been getting into halo a lot recently with the mcc and guardians and I remember the fist time played ODST I had breezed through the covenant in CE, 2 and 3 but when I fist encountered them in ODST they genuinely scared me as even though i was the closest thing to a Spartan the music and lighting and the fact I was in a completely empty city gave the feeling I was doomed which is why it is one of the best halo games. (Along with every other game because they are all amazing)
My first and favorite Halo game ever ♡
I just realized the first track has such studio Ghibli vibes and maybe that's why I love it so much
Bungie nailed the music for this game. I love their use of the piano and sax.
Such a great game, such great music, honestly a perfect duo. The switches between the somber aftermath of a war zone scattered city and the action packed sections of blitz and bullets. All of the transitions blend well, painting a perfect picture that screams “war” and shows the connections of a lost comrade piecing a puzzle together by himself. Don’t get me wrong, I love the action sections, and the characters just emit an aura of personality, and yet I feel so more attached to the rookie, not only as your piecing the puzzle with him, but also that you are him. He is a mute vessel in which you can interact with the world. That was one thing, in my opinion, that Bungie nailed: the silent protagonist. Sure, having life and such in the game would’ve been nice, even if it was a brief backstory like in Reach, but Ilike the mystery. You draw the rookie as who YOU, the player thing the rookie should be, and thus through your play style. Sneaky? Maybe you’ll find touts around enemy encaments. Trigger happy? You’ll love the red plasma pistols and find yourself knee deep in hunter guts. Explorationist? You’ll find every extra cashe and audio note in the over world there is to find. Through this unknown medium, you don’t feel pressured to be the gun crazy Chief, and can play any role you want. With the addition of fewer shields and the return of health goes a step further how human you are, and how unaugmented you are. You CAN go in shotgun in hand, blasting away, but chances are, cover is your best friend, and lobbing grenades for easy line-breaks is a habit. This goes for both the action levels and the over world sections. Not to mention the beitifull music in the midst of all of this! It helps set the scene, flairs curiosity, warns defensively, blooms gently, booms harshly, almost every emotion is felt in the midst of all the missions. The music also sets the tone and theme, especially in the over world. I myself am a huge fan of jazz, and the hints of the sax was ingenious, giving a more urban, modern feel to the game with smooth undertones. The music you hear in the overworld is that perfect smooth symphony of the gentle piano and the soft sax, a perfect duet. All of this, and it’s a Halo game? This game was genuinely too good for its time, and being sold as an add on for full retail price set many off, but those who put their economic concerns aside were greeted with a true fantastical experience. I cannot say that I was into the game at the time, I was a younger kid then, but now I play for a minute, and get sucked in and end up playing it all the way through! If there were more levels, more pod drops, or forge, it would really be the perfect Halo game, in my opinion. It breaks my heart knowing this was one of the last true Bungie Halo titles, and you can tel they poured their heart and soul into this masterpiece, and knowing the chance of a TRUE Bungoro sequel will probably never come is even worse. I would love to see another installment in the ODST viewpoint, as it’s really an untouched canvas with a perfect base. However, with the way the recent Halo games came out, I’d rather play it safe and just have one masterpiece to its name, as hard as it is to say that. Now, the looks of Halo Infinite strike my fancy, and a Halo ODST game I that style would certainly be interesting, like a semi fictional semi realistic look. As long as it’s dark, has rain, is long enough for a good long game sesh, and has more of this music, I’ll pay whatever it takes. Just make sure it gets Bungies approval first! Sorry if there are any typos or anything of the sort, commenting on my phone
This summarizes my idea on the game too. This was my favourite Halo in the entire series due to it's rag-tag/undercover feel. It feels almost like a real war is being fought here, seeing you have to duck down, and stay under the radar; it has this realistic attachment to it, like it's telling a story of a lost, strong willed, yet broken soldier, but in such a way that other Halo games don't offer.
Sadly, a rather astronomical amount of the original Bungie team have either retired, or left the company; I crave another game like this, but it seems that one will not come in a long time.
I'm glad you commented with such precision as to what my feelings are for this game, I haven't played it in years, so I'm sure to have a session of it once I'm over at my friend's house soon.
This game is such an inspiring piece of work, the themes in it are just so truthful, and beautifully tragic, I can't tell if it's nostalgia or not, but I'm genuinely anticipating my next playthrough of the game~
This may sound a bit insensitive to the mood, but I heard that there was an ODST mod for Reach PC if you want to try that out, no shields, 3rd person, less maneuverable, and no super strength. ODST really was an underrated game that only gets better as you age.
one of the best halo games ever!!!!
I forgot how amazing this game's music was. Seriously, it's making me tear up
