Halo 3: ODST

I have purchased the Halo 3 original soundtrack months ago and loved it. I still listen to it while I read today. After purchasing the HALO3:ODST OST, I can say with full confidence that it blows it out of the water (not to discredit the Halo 3 OST, however)

It perfectly sets the dark mood as you play a silent, lost, yet lethal ODST in the city of New Mombasa. I thought years ago the music from Marty and Michael couldn't get any better, but it does with this. And by no means do you need to be a Halo fanatic to enjoy this music. After playing this game in front of my three roommates, every one of them raved about the perfect score that went along so well with the game play.

Just listening to this music (especially with your mp3 player while you walk around in public) will make you feel like a true B.A.M.F., of this I am sure.

Buy this now. Do not hesitate.

Long live Marty and Michael.

The music on this soundtrack surprised me so much! The jazz elements are expertly layered in between epic drums and smooth, ambient orchestrals. Nothing feels out of place when it comes up. All crescendos are built up to and emotional, and all of the low ambient parts perfectly set a mood. This music is perfect for me seeing as I'm a writer as it never gets in my way, and always keeps me moving forward. I also play lots of role-playing games (the pen and paper kind) and this is the best background music for any scene. I highly recommend this soundtrack to anyone looking for good music!

Halo 1-3 have been the farthest thing from disappointment, Halo Wars was a pleasant surprise, and now we come to the latest installment in the Halo story, Halo 3: ODST. With Bungie composers Martin O'Donell and Micheal Salvatori at the helm, we are fortunate enough to bare witness to another musical gem.

For those who don't know, Halo 3: ODST is NOT a continuation of the story told in Halo 1-3 with the Master Chief as the main character. The story of ODST revolves around a crew of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers and tells the tale of what happened between the events on Halo 2 and 3. I say this not to talk about the game, but to make a point that this is a different story then the one being told from before, therefore it calls for a whole new change of theme. ODST is noticeably different from its predecessors. In past Halo soundtracks, we were blessed with...Read more
