There's a poster in Halo 3: ODST with a picture of the Earth and what we THOUGHT was the moon (actually the traveler) with the text "Destiny Awaits" which is clearly referencing Destiny. Of course no one realised until after Destiny was announced. From what I've heard, Joe Staten came up with the idea back in late 2007, early 2008.

This mans work is inspirational, unforgettable and timeless. Some of my absolute favourite pieces of music in the history of the art form comes from Marty, he's so passionate and so powerful with his composing it's almost inhuman. May your career continue to reach the impossible heights that you are truly capable of Martin, we all adore your work, without your music, Halo and Destiny would not of been the same.

When I first played halo six years ago, I had an opinion that this game was going to be a super gory, simple, gritty, grinding shooter. My preception of this game was absolutley shattered and tossed aside as I heard the Halo 2 menu music for the first time. Ever since, Halo has been one of my favoite games, and its music is some of my favorite around.

Work of a god here. Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST's soundtrack were the best becuase they both had roots from the other Halo games. Only a few songs in Reach's OST had those old Halo type roots, like at the end of "The Package" where Cortana appears for a split second. Those moments really give true emotion, becuase when you saw Cortana and heard that Halo 3 piece you knew what you were fighting for and how it would end. The best original piece that had no roots from earluer games was ODST's "Finale"

Incorrect, bungie wouldn't have made ODST or Reach had they not been forced under contract from microsoft. They wanted it (and have openly said it) to end at halo 3, however they left the end of halo 3 open because they knew they were under contract and had to put out two more. They ended up telling two other stories instead, and then promptly moving on to destiny. Halo wasn't meant to go on past 3.
