[@LIONtib]

It was meant to depict a "dance" (=combat) with the Covenant, the name being further amplified in meaning by the fluid nature of the gameplay in the game. I feel like it romanticised combat, but not in a "war is so great way". The game did a good jov at depicting the horrors of fighting a war where the other side is hellbent on your genocide (not as much as I'd like to, the books were stellar in that regard but hey ho). This song makes me think of fighting the Covenant on their own ground, but winning by "dancing" better. It's not just about firepower.

[@DylanBegazo]

This inception of Halo, when you actually were given an assignment and had to travel there and explore yourself. When you were told to go into the library and find the index and you actually explored your way to where you thought it'd be and it was. Where covenant and flood actually would ambush you, where you'd run across the snow plains to help marines and find out where to go from there. Where you'd scan the snow and distance and search for enemy scouts, pick them off one by one. Where ammo and weapon choice made a big difference and you had to pay attention to your ammo. CE where exploration was heading in a good direction. Where it felt like an Open world game even though it wasn't. Where traveling to destinations and planning things out and observing were a big deal. Those big deals right there should have been nourished not compromised. Where there were time limits on the last mission, Time limits! Where the story was strongly engraved into what you were seeing before your eyes and it felt more rich in ""color"". You, the gamer was compelled to dream, to dream of what Halo CE could mature into. A game where the marines helped you out more and were more capable. Where you traveled to more human built and alien built places. A human space ship shipyard for example. travel onto more and more covenant ships to blow them up. To assault and take command of more covenant ships. To get witty in your exploration of forerunner devices and tech. To be able to take access ammo and put it somewhere, like to be able to take access ammo and store it in your warthog or something. To have the ability to take helmet recordings and dog tags. To be able to use those devices that open forerunner doors. Imagine if all these things were standard for every halo game since? Essentially, these standards remained permanent additions to the halo game universe instead of removed and left in the past.

[@memyselfandi2568]

I think this song is the most genius song on the whole game series. Keep in mind all im saying here, is strictly interpretation, and opinions This song, in every other level in CE, is only ever played when there is a battle going on between the Flood and the Covenant (there are other pieces that play instead when there is a flood covenant battle) except for the ending of Mission 5 Assault on the Control Room. Why i find that very interesting is that they use this song to foreshadow the Flood. The Mission 5 end cutscene, where Cortana is all Frantic, is because of the song. Now I believe, that the Covenant knew about the Flood on the ring way before Chief and Cortana did. It's why i believe there was such a dense presence of covenant forces just before the Control room. I believe, that the covenant expected the flood to show up at the control room area, and i believe there defences would have worked if Chief didn't pummel his way through. I believe the covenant at the end of mission 5, were in a way battleing the Flood, in a preventive way, rather than simply a battlefield style of battle, thus i believe why they put the song right there at the end. I think the way the covenant was set up through the entirety of mission 5 was to defend against the flood, more so than the Unsc. As the Unsc were getting trampled in that area. With the exception of chief. Possible could have defeated chief if it weren't for the aireal assault, from underground (still my favorite moment in the game) But keep in mind this nothing more than me speculating more than anything. The devs could have simply thought "this song would be fun here"

Round a corner after fighting covenant in a narrow corridor heading to the control room, you're about to head up the ramp and suddenly you hear assault rifle fire, then a shotgun, then the elite ahead is attacked and the Flood forms attacking him pounce on screen as well and likely push him back. Either at that point you just slowly backed up and let the fight happen, or you reloaded your assault rifle and rushed in to make sure nobody stole your kills. XD

[@Ohitburns]

Pure memories of a wonderful yet ignorant lifestyle. A time before school where we'd be at home all day. When mom went to bed, we watched dad play halo on the big TV until he told us to go to bed. Remembering the music and scenery of the game. Halo CE was indeed a unique game with it's own atmosphere that no other game could portray the same, just like every other individual halo sequel. Only that some music has been repeated through sequels that sound no different from the previous game. However, this song is completely on it's own. This song is a song only Halo CE can portray. Absolutely outstanding music. Beautiful blue filtered and bloomy atmosphere as a long grey alien planet-like ring peered upon the slightly cloudy but overall clear star filled sky, stretching to one side to another. Blue and green glowing balls fly through the scenery as you walk while glowing green and blue shields move and glow in the distance all in between dark brown trees, mountains, and rocks. The bullets go pew pew. brown and grey marines with green eye pieces sprint by shooting yellow bullets at the aliens while you notice your own grey round gun swaying side to side to the beat of the music as you walk. The aliens scream and yell while elites go "Wort wort wort." Sometimes pale military green turret mounted dunes buggies drive by shooting bullets. Blue and purple blood all over the ground as corpses of the brightly colored armored aliens lay by the scattered green and blue glowing weapons. The corpses and blood splatter fly around as blue explosions scatter about. Flipped purple round turrets and exploded flipped and flaming airplane like hover bikes lay about around scattered blue energy disk shields. Shooting stars, blue lakes and waterfalls around the ocean. Tan sand and yellow/dark seafoam green grass all on the ground in patches. All of this is what this song portrays in its entirety. Wonderful. Thanks for the childhood, Bungie.

Every time I play Halo I picture me and my generation having the time of our lives and now since I'm 20 and seeing the choices and loss of innocence I get a nostalgia feeling of happiness harmony and sadness all at once I miss my childhood and my innocence long live Halo

[@Tek-Nik-S]

nostalgia? the game came out when I was in middle school... were you even born then?

[@maleexile9053]

@@Tek-Nik-S technically yes I was born in 2000

[@sirsnek6562]

@@Tek-Nik-S what exile said, I was also born 2000, played the game (very badly, on easy mode) when I was 2. I loved the colors and the sounds so much, especially the alien blood colors so I kept beating them after they died and then I wasn't allowed to play it after that until 3rd grade, with some sneaky playing imbetween lol. I think my fondest moment, the most nostalgic and senory loaded moment, was during control room when you crossed one of the bridges for the first time and Pale Horse started playing.

You were still in middle school when halo was no longer Bungie, Halo is your dad's generation big man.

When I talk about Halo, people always tell me to forget about the past and hope for the future. I then reply with "Eat shit. Halo 5 is the biggest bicockdigroil piece of bloatfly larva I've ever played." >:(

[@ket2ZEchoppah]

But I've learned to respect other people's opinions, fortunately. Kudos to you if you actually enjoy playing that crock-o'-shit you call a Halo game. I don't see any way that would even be possible for one like me. :/

[@halowraith1]

weird how history repeats itself. i remember how reach was 'the worst halo ever', and now people are begging for another game like it and drowning in nostalgia for how much of an awesome game it was. exactly the same is happening for halo 4 with people reforming their opinion on its storyline; even though a couple of years ago it was given the title of 'worst halo game' as per every new title. nostalgia always blinds players' perspective on a title.

[@ket2ZEchoppah]

Ah... I feel kinda stupid now...

[@SOMEGUY7893]

That's true, but as someone who liked 4 and didn't feel Reach did bad on it's multiplayer as people claim, Halo 5 still feels like absolute shit in its single player component and is only slightly redeemed in its multiplayer aspect.

[@ket2ZEchoppah]

...Never said I didn't love Halo 4 tho, just bear in mind... ^_^
