@Yussop op I disagree with range, he does what he needs to for the music they are playing. The point was speed though in which he can't be beaten. Bozeman could also perform lows quite fast at least up to ANEOC.

is this song about the the awakening of the flood in combat evolved? i know primordial is forerunner/flood war, and reclaimer is human/covenant. i know quite a bit about halo but still have to ask if the return is the return of the flood after all these years of the flood being presumably dead
