The lyrics perfectly capture halo. "Poisoned pride" represents the covenant "Reckless rage" the banished "The fear we do not name" the flood I could go into so much detail but my point is its perfect for halo.

[@waitwhat9939]

pretty sure it was made for the trailer, you can even hear the spirit of fire theme with the guitar

[@GrachompGaming]

I think the Poisoned pride is meant to be the elites and Wreckless rage the brutes the fear is definitely the flood tho

Reminds me of how the song made for that ODST trailer ended up being released years later as part of the soundtrack to a King Arthur movie of all things.

[@amosdeguzman9980]

Oh my! This song is so hype inducing, even without the actual visuals! I love the Halo Wars theme instrumental being remixed in this song. Stephen Rippy really did a great job with the original version with its melancholy. This version is great as well with the strong guitar setting the stage for a strong return. The baritone singing set the dark tone of war and survival, and the lyrics really brings into mind a hardened veteran who's ready for his next fight. The White Buffalo did well with this remix. I love Halo Wars 1 and 2! hope we see more Halo Wars in the near future!

[@EuclidGamer]

Honestly Halo wars 2 was the last Halo title that gave me goosebumps upon its unveiling and I actually generally enjoyed the story and the characters even if I wish some of the characters had gotten more spotlight time. Something is really wrong with Halo nowadays. Things are just much like service and everyday life half baked and half finished and no promise of tomorrow. The gaming industry is sick.
