I've slowly but surely come to adore the Halo Infinite Soundscape... ...it sounds so different, yet so familiar at the same time. (Love it as always, Josh! -- You have a way with these sounds that keeps me coming back for more

[@scout9936]

It's good to see your still doing this. I personally enjoy almost all of these "mini medleys"

[@scouttrooper2871]

Hey! I'm scout trooper

By the rings, I stambled upon this two years later and it is absolutely gorgeous, pure art, gives the felling of something extemly ancient, misterious and eldritch, what human eyes where never ment to see, but also tragic and sad, and, especially by the end - epic. Incomprehensible, cosmic horor stuff. Fits Zeta Halo idealy. I absolutely loved Infinite`s soundtrack and overall atmosphere from the first time I played it, 343 nailed it and it makes me even more sad about how mishandled the game was overall. But you put the best pieces of soundtrack together perfectly, turning it from 'very good' to 'amazing'. Thank you very much, goes to my music playlist without a second of doubt. It`s unfornunate that this doesn`t have much more views as it diserves.

The endless are for one many things people weren’t so on board with but this is just what I feel but I’m damn excited to see more of them considering them being related to a huge part of halo lore possibly could be really sick but that’s just me and I get why people aren’t so like ya know intrested In them wish we could’ve seen more of them

[@kinoc-kayfar]

This has to be my favorite track In Halo infinite, like something about it seems so mysterious and mystical

[@gr8m887]

Loved this theme. Made me feel like something wasn’t right with this Halo ring. The answers we’d learned from the others didn’t fit Zeta Halo and the Forerunners were more than just “victims” of the Flood.

[@AdaniAstriFilms]

As Cortana 2.0 said “why would the Forerunners hide something then throw away the key?”

[@MrNobleSix]

Always around for these medleys! Sounds fantastic.

[@sharon4598]

Love it! The soundtrack for Infinite is being handled so different from past campaigns. I bought the previous soundtracks as soon as possible. Maybe because it is an open-world campaign that the music was handled in a different manner. Anyway, you have put these pieces together so well. And the visuals chosen are great. After listening I realize I like the music from Infinite better than I thought.

[@josh11735]

Infinite’s soundtrack has definitely gone up for me in the time since release. I think it did a really good job of bringing in classic themes while also making new catchy themes (both with and without that classic style). My only gripe is that the open world of the campaign often prevents parts of the soundtrack from playing fully. For example, in my first playthrough I only got to hear Through the Trees once the entire time and it only lasted like 30 seconds because it was playing during a brief marine objective. I hope they can curate the music a bit better in the future because what they have is really good! Anyway, thanks for watching! :)

this fellow josh11735, tired as the Dickens after producing various halo OST edits

[@jstudios7203]

This is great Josh, keep killing it :)

[@obeezytex5466]

Has sort of an assassin’s creed sound to it

[@AdaniAstriFilms]

It really makes you question, what else is inside the ring and why is this installation important?

[@trashpanda3172]

Possibly the Precursors or their race coming back for vengeance after all this time it excites me what they will do and how it will shake up the storyline, everything we know about halo has gotten more clear the forerunners are frauds

[@lordshmee13]

10 minutes! thats almost more time than what screen time The Harbinger got in her first outing, something the Didact could only dream of i guess, could 343i stop MCU'ing please stop killing the new baddies first time they show up, at least Atriox got to show up in Halo Wars and Infinite like Thanos but his day came too. i hope Atriox survives this game and maybe another so the Banished can stay around and expand like the Covenant before them before they try to push them to the side.

[@thetraveler7986]

Dude I don't think atriox died... did you see the last cutscene in infinite campaign?

[@bigfloppa9594]

Atriox isn't dead

[@Espartanica]

The Harbinger got enough screen time. Comparable to Tartarus from Halo 2. The prophets were the longest standing villains and only lasted 2 games besides minor appearances in Wars and ODST.

[@blahblah3775]

Did you even play the game? Atriox literally isn't dead lmao. He wakes up the endless himself at the end of the campaign after the Harbinger gets killed by chief. Also, villains have been getting killed in the same game they were introduced since Halo 2??

[@Espartanica]

@@blahblah3775 Bro, quit making shit up. Bungie wouldn't set up 4 new antagonists in a game just to kill 3 of them off by the end of it.

[@lordshmee13]

thankfully Bungie got to helm the OG trilogy, if 343i/Microsoft had their way Truth and pals probably would of died in the first game they shown up in too instead of having a setup into the next game, actually theyd probably die in a book or a cutscene, like Arbiters gameplay would of been relegated to a book. i know harsh but we didnt get to play the moments leading to Atriox crushing the Infinity, Arbiter is no where to be seen except for the cover a book with Olympia Vale, Didact died again in a Comic Book, THE ROOKIE died in a book, now Cortana dies in a cutscene nowhere near Chief with no redemption to humanity for what damaged she caused awakening the Guardians, i felt so cheated that Chadwick Bosemans line from Cival War to Zemo," the living arent done with you yet", she should have had to go through seeing what she had done with no powers of the domain or the unsc, i use the escape with a Spartan 4 (who lost people from Cortanas attack on Laconia station or something) from Atriox who was holding the remnants of Cortana as a bargaining chip for last resort if anything didnt go his way and has an out. So Cortana under a new alias because she would not likely survive with someone who lost people from Cortanas attacks, only reveals herself when Halsey puts all the pieces together later because remember she smart lady and needs to show it, like who can get thru a Forerunner door or other locked facilities that easy and quick atm it was only the Weapon, most of the other AI were held up, so yea she found out and put on trial but gets held up by the Banished on their front door of the forerunner building the UNSC is using as a base, and Cortana has a inner monologue or an AI equivalent with the Reclaimer version of herself telling she knows what she has to do, and she'll cry i cant i dont have the link anymore, and low and behold Chief and the Weapon readying to leave to try and hold off the Banished, Cortana catches up with them through the spartan 4, and they relent, but Cortana has a quick 1 on 1 private chat with the Weapon, eventually convinces the Weapon to give her some of her Reclaimer side to gain access to a Guardian in a nearby system, and Chief will be looking to Cortana and asking what do you think you are doing but Cortana uses the Guardian to stop the Banished attack. time passes by and Cortana is on trial continues and looks like its going south but the Weapon and the spartan 4 (by this point he will reflect on his time with her as Ghost and what shes done that shows she isnt doing it just to save her ass to get back the power of the Forerunners she is seeking redemption as she has witnessed the hell she has wrought across the galaxy as the Reclaimer) try to speak up but Chief tries to stop them because she went and shown she still has the power to access the Domain and such even a thread is dangerous enough. but near the end they come together want use the Guardian as a means to scare the Banished like a scarecrow and Cortana will be locked away but just then the Guardian explodes and falls, and a Banished ship reveals itself behind it after firing upon the Guardian and in the helm stands Atriox and an Endless who helped changed the weapons aboard to damage the Guardian overall i want a story in game that shows Cortana in hell of her own making as the Reclaimer, Halsey knowing her own work with discovering who Ghost is and how she appeared out of nowhere, Chief actually scarred by Cortanas actions in 5 and seeing a planet get destroyed by Guardians wont easily go over his head, sure he look like he let go at the end of the campaign but Cortana surviving will have him second guess because what if part of her is still the halo 5 version ready to control the galaxy but the Weapon holds the keys from the data she gathered of Cortana could for story purposes have bits that give Cortana power to call the Guardians again, and have a spartan be a observer like Chief in the older games where hes just there to carry us through like a advanced camera man and to have the spartan be male to have the connection of Chief and to have Cortanas comment from 5(you are nothing like my spartans) flipped on its head that the 4's can strive to be like the 2's where they are action over words. and have Atriox showing all his power unlike Echerum where he couldnt affect the open world have Atriox screw the rules he has power, and have an Endless like The Harbinger fixing the excavator beam to pierce forerunner metal striking the Guardian will give Atriox even more revenge fuel that cant be stopped easy no more with the Guardians not being so indestructible as before. if anyone read through this amazing, long winded but i feel Cortans death was a little cheap and easy, she doesnt need to attach to Chief anymore, have go thru this experience and then go into lockup like Halsey before her after the Spartan 2's secret revealed, and have a scene when the dust settles the Weapon goes to see the both of them and they both tell her dont make the mistakes like we did 3rd times the charm and all that. keep Cortana around in a case where like in Halo 4 spartan ops they needed someone to decipher forerunner tech and Halsey came into play, where shes brought in as help.

[@lordshmee13]

how Atriox would have Cortana back in a chip i dont know but its got to be something that requires Cortana give up her hardlight body whatever she has to be able to escape with a spartan lol and instead of a bargaining chip as i said earlier, what if Atrioxs knows she can sabotage the spartans armors to his advantage for the Spartan killers?, because unless they found a way to mass produce Chiefs new armor upgrade for all the spartan 4's Cortana should be able to access them and lock them down as easy prey for the Banished and thats why he keeps her alive but have her where she is forced to agree( dam 6 month gap becuase how would Atriox know Chiefs alive if no one knows he himself is alive)and itd be funny if none of the Banished knew Chief has new armor and they ready Cortana to stop him but she cant because of new firmware and design....and well the Weapon too. Cortana as a damsel in distress being used as a weapon pointed at the UNSC against her will or a ghost who wants forgiveness for her foolish actions and wants to atone for her sins against the galaxy
