Nobody ever asks you about your opinion on Halo's songs after Bungie left Microsoft. Here's some of them if you could listen to them, then reply to me with your opinion! I wanted for years to know your opinion on them. th-cam.com/video/miwmCI7VS58/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/gKJbDIk54eA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/wNA13tcODTg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/x_oKF0uA7pk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/zYVGXMWkr7w/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/OEHk2C3IKT4/w-d-xo.html
I hope you can go back to your channel and share more stuff, I can only wish you good luck with the corporate bullying you are getting dragged again, see ya Marty O’Donnell, you are an amazing creative person.
Microsoft and 343 need to get this guy back. At least for consultation work. This man knows what makes halo games tick. It’s appalling they haven’t even approached him for anything at all
No matter how many times I watch people interview Marty, it never gets old since there is always something new. Now let me see if I can watch District 9...

Thanks a ton for the interview, the timestamps & the overall quality of what you share, hopefully more people subscribe to your channel, I just did!
Thanks Sebastian appreciate it🙏
love the cosy fireplace behind him 💛
7:30 Master Chief in Smash Discussion
Marty definitely borrowed that "I c o n i c" from HiddenXperia here
Marty is the only right option to compose a Halo Smash remix
a real highlight already early this year!
his score elevated this game to EPIC 🤩
BETTER THAN THAT LEGEND
Was he talking about the Vektor CR-21 in the D9 part?
Music of the spheres is amazing!
Súper cool interview
47:45 I can't wait for that reveal!
his scores had a long-term impact on my childhood 🎼 🎶 ⭐
great interview, well done Kiwi Talkz
wow you got the most spectacular guest!
Theres a reason why this has no dislikes
Martin O'Donnell is THE BEST 🔥🔥
There was a Spartan in Dead or Alive I believe and Master Chief is now in Fortnite.
he has had cult-status in the gaming world forever now!
I really hope Golem is released for PCVR
of course, everybody knows HALO! 🎮
I really hope the game they have been making is an FPS game
Epic
district 9 will only be remember for it's score 🔝
