Halo 3: ODST OST - Pounding the Pavement (Neon Night)

[@smik5304]

“I don’t own any of this and all that jazz” excellent phrasing

[@crafter5458]

I ran to my bus stop in the pouring rain this morning to this, my socks got wet. I was cold all day. But I ask myself, was it worth it? yes very worth it.

[@schuringleon3207]

The atmosphere in this game was just so utterly perfect

[@PrinceHill]

I finally managed to put to words what this song makes me feel and see...If you could indulge me for but a moment, I would like you to imagine the scene with me, with this song played over it. A guttural roar shatters the oppressive silence, a visceral reminder that the pack of brutes has locked onto your scent. Panic surges through your veins as you sprint through the desolate, rain-soaked streets of New Mombasa. Wrecked vehicles become your makeshift hurdles, corners transform into fleeting sanctuaries, and buildings offer only brief respite as you dart through them in a desperate bid to escape the relentless pursuit. The relentless pounding of your boots on the wet pavement is drowned out by the ominous thud of the brutes' heavy footsteps echoing behind you. Their snarls, a cacophony of primal aggression, intensify with every passing moment, driving you to push your limits. Your breaths come in ragged gasps, each one a desperate plea for more oxygen as your heart pounds mercilessly in your chest, drowning out all other sounds. As you vault over wrecked vehicles, the acrid scent of burning debris fills the air. Shadows dance menacingly in the dimly lit surroundings, and the fear of the unknown amplifies the terror gripping your soul. You find a momentary haven, pausing to take cover and unleash a flurry of gunfire. The crackling discharge reverberates through the air, momentarily causing the pursuing brutes to stagger. It's a fleeting pause, a gasp for survival, as you seize the opportunity to reload and steal a precious moment to catch your breath. In the dim glow of the smouldering ruins, your sights lock onto one of the brutes. With a surge of adrenaline, you take aim and fire, the recoil jolting through your body. A sharp, sickening thud confirms the precision of your shot as the brute crumples to the ground, lifeless. But instead of deterring the pack, the loss triggers a feral rage. The remaining brutes, now unhinged, howl in fury, their pursuit escalating to a feverish pitch. Back onto the rain-soaked streets, through dimly lit alleys, and behind scorched rubble, you race, desperately seeking any means to break their line of sight. The flickering streetlights cast eerie shadows, each one a potential harbinger of your demise. Every corner turned, every fleeting refuge sought, heightens the gnawing fear that they are always just a heartbeat away. The desperation in your movements mirrors the intensity of the chase, a relentless dance with doom through the heart of darkness.

Absolute masterpiece here man! You really captured it!

[@samiuddin7051]

Interesting. If you listen to the percussion in this soundtrack it is the same as the percussion that is heavily featured in Overture from Halo Reach

[@thewatermelon3831]

nice, i always thought if anyone else would notice it

[@zenpai5998]

OH SHIT IT DOES WTF

[@SpydrByte]

Good catch! I've forgotten about that tid bit over the years. Marty and Salvatori did wonders with the Halo music.

[@jose-ze8dd]

Halo 3 ODST`s soundtrack was made almost at the same time Halo Reach was being developed, so it is logical Martin O'Donnell would use the same instruments, i just feel this has a bit of Halo 3`s style with Reach instruments, and a more Noir original feel to it, great work from the composer.

[@Shumachuma]

The music in general for halo is like a series in itself, it never fails to meet the genre

[@SakuyaShiomiEnjoyer]

the sax in this song is so ethereal, its probably one of my fav bits of saxophone in ODST's soundtrack above all

[@JacobExCraze]

Its so perfectly made. Its my main jam.

[@notmavyt]

Let’s be honest here, the rookie is someone we will always remember.

[@dawnbreakerii204]

the rookie is you my guy.

@dawnbreakerii204 The Rookie is dead

[@chmiv7465]

"Still, if anyone's curious enough to listen to a 6 minute loop without the saxophones I can do that." I'd love to hear that! Thank you so much for this upload. :)

[@DoomCloudX]

I'll make a point of doing it some time in the near future then.

I played halo 3 odst on the xbox 360 for hours and never got this variation to play ingame but yesterday i got it on the mcc edition and i was really weirded out

[@kamespinosarojas9225]

Thank you Bungie I will never forget you.

[@AttiMatter]

Thank you for this!

[@AttiMatter]

Still great work

[@AttiMatter]

Beautiful piece of music. This game was so much fun to play.

Still is with the MCC!

[@Gojiro7]

thank you for mixing together the best part of this song :3

[@damonfenixtrismegisto7698]

Asombroso, esto me recuerda cuando tenìa 9 años y llegaba emocionado de la escuela para jugar H3 ODST ❤

[@JJTheSpartan_117]

Dude yes you have the sax version too! I dont know if you can but if you could make an even more extended version of this track I'd love you for it, this is probably my favorite track in halo. Anyway awesome upload man, super good quality.

[@DoomCloudX]

How much more extended would you like it? It's a pretty easy thing for me to do, just takes more effort the longer it gets.

[@JJTheSpartan_117]

@@DoomCloudX lmao I dont know, 30 minutes? An hour? Lol something like that. I kinda take it back though because I remembered you can loop the video lmao.

[@DoomCloudX]

@@JJTheSpartan_117 I'll probably still look into doing like a 30 minute loop.

[@Chiyomi_Anzai599]

This is the best saxophone song in all of odst. 💯

[@joshlundy78]

This is a beautiful piece of music

[@stylewtfbot]

I love it

[@dragonsamurai453productions]

Lets face it, ODST's soundtrack was a banger. And outside of Neon Night, Menagerie, and Deference for darkness, Pounding the Pavement is just awesome, and probably my top favorite.

[@dredgeninvader]

When this song came on, it doesn’t matter if I was fighting 3 hunters on legendary, flow state will be achieved and 3 hunters would be at my feet
