Why is Halo CE music always the best?

[@chrischambers7601]

Simplicity, probably. I often feel the remixes add too much to the piece.

[@yeeyeehaircut]

One of the most atmospheric moments in the whole series is walking out of the tunnel during two betrayals, this song starts and the screen says "final run"

[@tpd1864blake]

It’s a vaguely similar situation, but the tone is somehow the same despite the vast differences. In Truth and Reconciliation, you’re sneaking around the darkness picking off enemies from a distance. Then in Two Betrayals, you’re still sneaking around at night but you’re watching a large battle unfold, and the white snow reflects enough ambient light that it isn’t dark

[@alexanderstilianov]

That's one of my most vivid memories from playing CE as a kid for the first time.

[@LUIS117MIKE95]

That moment you realize you're the last one fighting, feeling the loneliness and the cold of the installation

[@sergeantmarcusstackerM1903]

[@jasoneardley9311]

I’m old. I played Halo CE on my Xbox I received for Christmas in 2001. The game is fantastic, but I think Marty’s music is what makes a Halo game a Halo game. It is visceral and makes you feel like a bada$$ when playing the game.

[@lordrevanz16]

Facts. Marty's music gives Halo its soul. Without Marty, it just doesn't feel the same, it doesn't feel like Halo. I just played Infinite, and then gameplay is feels like old Halo, the storyline is great, but it still felt lacking. The soundtrack really isn't anything memorable and you don't even notice it most of the time. Back with Marty, the music added flavor and depth to every cutscene, every battle.

[@roux6715]

@@lordrevanz16 I disagree, halo infinite’s soundtrack is beautiful

[@buklau837]

@@lordrevanz16 I think Infinite has a solid soundtrack but I see what you mean. It’s mainly the fact that most of the tracks in Infinite are randomly played so for example, I’ve never heard the Infinite version of under cover of night once. We like originals better because those linear games allowed each track to play during a specific section allowing a track to shine in the game whereas in Infinite, it’s a dice roll to see if you get a new track. In Infinite, I only remembered Escharum’s theme and the monitor’s theme.

[@alejandromolina7270]

Marty's music feels unique, I think. The music is supposed to have this ancient tone because of how old the Forerunners and Covenant are, but it's so ahead of its time no one managed to replicate it. I like the soundtracks after Halo 3, but they're so epic and so big, but don't have that uniqueness that makes Halo unique.

[@brock8232]

As the Chief moved onward through the artificial tunnel he is yet again met with the entrance he had previously fought his way through what felt like years ago but in reality was only a couple of days he is yet again trudging through ankle deep snow staring into the rings night sky when he reaches the precipice and sees a covenant encampment besieged from all sides by an unyielding foe the whining of plasma fire and staccato of automatics broken only by heavy explosives brought on by both sides and the screeching of banshees in the air...then he sees it the final platform to the last set of phase pulse generators the chief is yet again steeled in his resolve to see this mission through all thats left is a final run.

[@Kenji-117]

This brings old emotions back i cant describe its like im seeing not just a game but a whole timeline of my life flashing before me inner eye. all these emotions and memories feel so familiar and strange at the same time. it feels like it happened 1 week ago and not 20 years ago... its crazy to think that our senses like smelling, hearing, seeing, touching, tasting something familiar we havent felt for a long time can wake up memories that our brain just couldnt replay... this is when all the emotion are striking so hard and we know "this is reality right now"

I was a junior in high school when CE came out. We had a pretty good crew of gamer / pro wrestling fans. Many a weekend we would pack into a basement and play split screen (after a little puff pass of course). When this music hit, it was as immersive of a gaming experience as I've ever had. That was my golden era of gaming.

[@Calicofrost]

thanks for the high quality upload! Always adore the original the most. heck, that whole soundtrack is so sublime and alien yanno? I feel like they use too much orchestral pieces nowadays in sci fi; which doesn't mean it's horrible, but the vibe with synthesizers is just limitless...
