@@stephenwalsh2476 I don't even know any of the other OST, or just forgot about them, from Halo 5, but this one is a fucking banger, definitely the best thing to come out of Halo 5
+sparky10142 no... if halo music wasn't good, the forerunners would get mad that some music named after their creation, halo, was bad, then it means halo is bad! Then they would destroy everything... so microsoft has to work their heads off keeping them happy
Love this track! Especially seeing Holly Tanaka smash through that Ice boulder in that intro cutscene; AMAZING! Halo has the best soundtrack. 'nuff said.
Ketan Sundar he probably played the game at the point in which the olly olly oxen free signal came on, and then listened to this. When chief said "we havent used that frequency in years"
Kyle Erman while in training the Spartan twos would use the Olly Olly oxen free tone to communicate and identify fellow Spartan twos. They used it for future purposes as well, but that's all I can remember off the top of my head. It was just a fast way to identify friendly Spartan two allies and if I'm remembering correctly only the Spartan twos (besides Dr. Halsey and maybe a few people in ONI) know about it's relevance.
The chord progession at 0:20 is hauntingly beautiful and I would kill for an entire piece of music that capture the emotion here. Slow but rich in emotional depth following that sound. (don't get me wrong the rest of this piece is great, but its THAT specific chord that leaves me wanting more)
+DrStrangelove1941 its because its a very similar chord progression. Bond one is E minor, C Major, C# Dim, C Major. Light is green chord progression is: E Sus 2, C Major, A Major, C Major So yeah very similar but just distinct enough to not be the same :)
For all of Halo 5’s flaws, I actually appreciate the change of formula. For me, this bombastic opening was a breath of fresh air as opposed to the prior openings where they were more mysterious and less action packed. And it lets you in on the power of the new generation of Spartans.
My God those strings...there are only two Halo tracks I can think of that tops this. The midnight version of Never Forget from Halo 4 and the epilogue from Halo Reach. This soundtrack was incredible, and I never get tired of this track.
Who else is here after the Halo Studio's UE5 announcement? Of course, be cautiously optimistic, but let's still remember, despite Microsoft's past failed attempts post-Bungie, they are still time after time TRYING to make something good, and each time getting closer. Think of how far we've come since Halo 4.
Fireteam Osiris were pretty alright. I wasn't sure how much I'd like a next gen Blue Team, but by the end of the game, I was really liking them as characters. Their little ritual before making a jump makes them feel that little bit more genuine. The way they promoted them helped too. Releasing that cutscene as a trailer both sold me on the game, and made me accept them as a team. And this music played a key role in it. I mean DAMN this sounds like some Avengers type shit! Fucking awesome! If you want me to believe a group of people are a team, you give them a theme like this.
I love the thing about who buys drinks after the mission. By the end of the game I was able to remember my team mates' names easily. So they clearly weren't forgettable characters.
+MotionTransformer Couldn't agree more. Locke, Vale, Tanaka and Buck, all typed without having to think about it! Obviously they stick with you, just like Arbiter, Chief and Cortana.
+Tyler Malone I agree. Its an amazing track but after seeing it with the trailer it feels incomplete without the explosions and sfx... but I mean the first priority is to support the picture not stand alone...
+Tyler Malone I personally like it better without the cinematic, it lets you hear more details that can't be heard with the cinematic such as some of the background strings.

incredible first minute. the song is obviously inspired to promote that unexpected "action meets mystery" element. the beginning of the song signifies a recollection... a memory... some type of aftermath and the energy feels "committed" to underlining this importance. the song seems to draw from a perspective of being small and meek and inspirationally transforming into a feeling of purpose and direction alongside determination!
This was the one song from 5 that I genuinely thought had a lot of staying power. The majority of the OST was such a forgettable experience for me, but this song I enjoy. Maybe cause it reminds me of Destiny’s OST a lot.
no, if anything they improved, and match the game brilliantly just like the others did. I find nostalgia to be too much a determining factor. but hey if you like it because its nostalgic
was playing Destiny 2 for the first time and listening to this at the same time and when I first got to the lost city the main them of this OST started playing. my god was it the single most awesome thing I have heard and seen at the same time
@damusaetrum6742 then I was so happy to okay this game after lessons. Now I'm just working all the time having no time to play. Sad how life moves on so fast...
***** the music is done for a specific objective with a specific style, so, this music would be perfect for another new franchise, but this is Halo and it needs drums, guitar, bass, and another instuments that i can't remember, and another conposition of the songs. In another words, the ost of halo 5 is excellent, but for another franchise, no for Halo
@@justarandomguywantingtostu6539 I disagree. Each halo has had hugely different music styles. Halo CE had a distinct style with techno synth and heavy steady drums, 2 had bombastic guitar and rock as well as some songs made entirely by independent groups like Incubus and Breaking Benjamin, Halo 3’s is probably the most halo-y style with emphasis on piano and orchestra, 4’s… well I don’t really know what that was, ODST has smooth and sad saxophone jazz and heavy drums, and Reach has emphasis on Drums, but not in the same steady way CE had.
Sepiabooch 977 How the hell did it suck? Warzone, Slayer, Breakout, Griffball, SWAT, Strongholds, Firefight, Big Team Battle, the most customization options, custom game modes, forge map creator, great graphics....get outta here.

This is my favorite song off the soundtrack, build the hype so well. I feel like I’m actually getting ready to suit up. Surreal
If this song doesn't make a return in Halo Infinite in anyway, how can we truly know that sound track will be equally as epic as 5 was?

The best thing about Halo 4 and 5 are the soundtracks. They're not as good as Martin's soundtrack, but they're still amazing.
For me, halo 5's gameplay is what made it good, and 4 had a fairly good weapon and vehicle variety. The music was really pretty awesome though!
no, if anything they improved, and match the game brilliantly just like the others did. I find nostalgia to be too much a determining factor. but hey if you like it because its nostalgic
No they are not as good, they are as good as Marty’s
The start when the micro soft and 343 part plays is good and the middle bit epic when it shows halo 5
The Starfield suite took some ideas from this masterpiece.
