Been since 2012, started with Combat Evolved, stayed with the series despite how Halo 5 turned out and hopefully eager with how Infinite will turn out. This track always gives me chills.
I would like your comment, but it's currently at 69. As a long time Halo fan it makes me happy to see more people enjoying the series that made me a gamer :)
Considering the only point in Combat Evolved it plays is during Assault on the Control Room inside the forerunner hallways I'd say that's probably what happened
Yo, I don’t know who this composer is for infinite but through the trees makes me Wanna buy an Xbox :(.... ( haven’t had one since 360, but this one song gives me hella good hopes for this halo!! I feel like 343 might of found their way of making “halo” not some generic shooter like halo 4 felt. I think they did forge hella good in 5 but this?!? This sounds like the game is going to be fire!!!
I play bass guitar that bass is thicc compared to Metallica's ...And Justice For All that's sad a game soundtrack has better bass than a Metal album AJFA and Halo are both great with flaws
Yo like seriously CE had some of the best Basslines in all the songs and their future renditions. Covenant Dance being the highlight, along with this one.
To me Reaches version Walking Away is the climax version. It signified Bungies departure from the series in a seemingly glorious fashion. All pride. No regrets. As they hand the torch to 343. Its their way of saying goodbye and its been fun.
@@dankim7488 yeah the song just felt so celebratory! If they did put it in the game there isn't many place it would fit tho. Maybe at the end of Sword base?
The Infinite version sounds so much more like Halo vs the way that Halo 4 and 5's music sounded. It's hard to describe but Halo should sound mystical, tribal, and futuristic all at the same time and that track does it for me! Honestly, so long as the ai is fun to fight against and the game's music follows this philosophy, I'd definitely play Infinite.
That is the essence of the first Halo games, futuristic shooters where you find mystical ruins of an ancient tribe/civilization while fighting the Covenant
I disagree with tribal but the other two are good. Halo 2 is my favourite personally because of the way it was used in-game. It was used to show the religiousness of the covenant and how they opress. Very poetic as it's almost like deep, drugged up groans.
@@thomaselvidge Yes, Halo 2 legitimately has the best story in the series. Halo CE barely had one, Halo 3's was super watered down, H4's was like reading one of the books you're given for English class (not that deep literary elements is necessarily a bad thing), and H5's was just gross. H2 explored the covenant, explored themes of betrayal, alliance, desperation, and mysticism. The only part that sucked ass was the lack of fleshing out the gravemind, but that's whatever. H4 is a close second
@@wrestlingfreestylefreak Give it time.... I hate year long hype trains but the news dump from a few days ago makes infinite look like a right return to form for Halo..... but I guess time will tell....
@@wrestlingfreestylefreak type of attitudes we dont need in the halo community. People think Halo would be perfect forever and compared to the quality we got from Halo 4 and 5. I'd say we got it good from no Halo at alll
Literally me when I found this video XD gotta love the Halo nostalgia, need to extend my gamepass if I wanna finish replaying them all though XD anyways I think Halo Combat Evolved's version is my favorite, not sure why.
@Aubrey Jarvis I’m in the same boat as you. Got MCC about 2 and a half years ago when I was 12 and loved every second of each Halo game. For some reason every time I hear certain music tracks while in game I get this weird sense of nostalgia. For context, I was born about a year before Halo 3 even came out and I’ve never had any link to Halo until about sixth grade. I just started high school and according to most long time Halo fans, I’m at the age where they loved the franchise the most. I just hope that Halo Infinite is like what Halo 3 was to the older fans.
@@ColonialWolf Ehhhh, I can definitely agree Skyrim has an amazing soundtrack, but it definitely doesn't carry the same revered status Halo has with many people.
The resonance of the choir (Gregorian chanting) is the best in this one, I feel atleast. It sounds the most beautiful to me. The Halo 2A overall sounds absolute boss.
One of the guys working on the infinite soundtrack was the composer for the Ori franchise, and if you've heard the music in those games, then you already know what's up. If there's anyone that can do something on the level of Marty, it's him. And it sounds like he's got it again with halo
the new track from 343 is literally perfect, it captures the main beats of the song while also innovating on it. just goes to show you can innovate with out retconning.
@Phillip hanna well, as everything in the anniversary, it was revised while still retaining the old feel, it adds a little "jump" to it, but its still halo, and it was executed wonderfully, I'm sorry that you cant see that, but I respect your opinion.
Let's be honest, the Halo Infinite version captured that Halo CE/2 feel perfectly. It feels so majestic like the first time I've heard the song in those two games.
The Walk In The Woods OST is one of the most popular songs in the halo community, i havent gone one page on halo things without this appearing in a meme or a remix or something
I’m very happy 343 finally listened and brought old songs in for Halo Infinite! Every version of “The Walk” is my favorite song from Halo. I’m very happy about the return.
Not only that, but they made a unique version. They could’ve basically copied the one from halo 3 or something, but they just made it super unique compared to the other ones. Fantastic
@@abhinavchauhan5575 no. Those songs are the property of Microsoft. 343 is owned by Microsoft, they could have used those songs if they wanted to. 343 deliberately chose not to include them in their games.
i remember playing halo 1 in 2007. 6 years old at the time. i remember the second mission when you first exit the pod. it looked so real. i remember distinctly loving the art style of the transparent objects (the needler ammo, the invisibility effect, ect). long time ago now
@@skyraider87 i mean i was born in 2001. it was early for me. i got an xbox the same year i played halo first. i had to rent halo 1 weekly. when i got my xbox it came with halo 2 but mum didnt let me play it. it lived on top of the fridge.
I started in 2008, I was 4. Something about the OG graphics and soundtrack just really seemed amazing to me. Its probably just nostalgia, but I think all of it looks and feels absolutely perfect.
Bro, I was like an year old when CE came out. I remember my cousin playing it, since then Halo’s music is embedded in my brain and that made me feel nostalgic. I never owned an XBox to play Halo but now that MCC is out on PC, I completed the whole thing.
I’ve been a PlayStation guy all my life. Just finally went through the MCC and played on original graphics and music. This has gotta be one of my new all time favorite ost’s. I’m a big final fantasy fan so music in a game is a big make or break and I gotta say Halo 1 in particular has got to be the best FPS ost I’ve listened to. Took me twenty years to hear this shit.
I really like Infinite's "through the trees". There's a sense of freshness? Exploration maybe? I don't know how to describe it but there's something about it that is uplifting. That said, OG Halo 2 is my favorite. The nostalgia hits hard with "heretic, hero".
“A Walk in the Woods” is my favorite halo soundtrack ever. It’s really cool to see its evolutions over the years. No matter the game, they all sound good.
Growing up in the 90's to a single mother, she would always listen to Phil Collins and Seal. When I played halo CE for the first time this track instantly reminded me of their styles and instantly grew nostalgic over it. Now in my 30's and coming back its the exact same feeling.
My friend group always wondered why I like this song so much. It always gave me a vibe of the 80s. The calm songs type. Though I don't know much about phil collins or seal, it did it hit a note with Hall and Oates' you make my dreams come (true). Somehow it reminds me of those types of songs
Regardless of where you grew up, where you've been, what you've done, who you've met... Halo, it's soundtracks, the community (although toxic at times lol) has kept us united. I hope we all get to relive our childhoods when infinite launches, I hope y'all bring your children along, your old friends, new friends. New memories, under a familiar tune. See you soon people!
GAH WHICH IS THE CORRECT WAY GENERAL KIDD (way its spelt in the channel name) OR GENERAL HEED (the way the man himself says it) I guess some questions will.nevrr be answered
Halo ce one always gives the most nostalgia. Got it on my xbox 360 around when I first got the xbox 360 around probably 2011 or 2012. I miss those times playing halo ce 2 and 3 with all my friends back then. I like halo 2’s the most out of them all though
@Mc Trucker chill bro, it’s just my general opinion that the infinite has a well mix of all halos, if you really gonna get mad over someone’s opinion then leave
Halo Infinite is finally going to bring us back to what everyone of us fell in love with. Back to basics, but fresh and new, exciting our minds but capturing our hearts. Come on 343, Bring it home.
dude, it's a fucking video game. please get some actual hobbies and form relationships with human beings before you die. there's so much more to life than consuming entertainment products.
"Walking Away" is so appropriately named because not only was Reach Bungies last halo game but it was also the last time they'd be remixing "A Walk In The Woods".
God it sounds so good though. Makes me wanna give my life for a faction that doesn't even exist yet. Edit: the song, not the name. But the name too🤷♂️
Listening to this 19 years after the hit series' first game was released. November 15th, 2001, the day a game that would touch millions was released. Happy 19th birthday Halo!
As the old saying goes "nothing beats the original" but Through the trees? It hits on a certain level of yes that i haven't felt since halo odst came out. Still dont have high hopes for Infinite just because of 343's track record, but damn am i still looking forward to this game.
343 can make a good story (Halo 4), and a game that flows well gameplay-wise (Halo 5). I just hope Infinite can combine the best of both and improve on it.
Just got my grandma to appreciate halo she used to not like it but I finally sat her down and started showing her the cutscenes and explaining the story and she really enjoys it especially the music, today's a good day
@@cooperlittlehales6268 crisp? Nah. Its compressed a fuck ton tho like its in 60 when everything is in 200 to 320. Basically the sound of gravel. They should have put a more high quality version to give it the respect it deserve.
@@troudbalos That is literally how it sounds. The compression is there even in the highest possible quality of the song. It's a styalistic choice to have it so compressed.
We took a Walk in the Woods. On the way, we saw Lions and Tigers as well as a hero, heretic, and a zealous champion. We then took Another Walk and then started Walking Away Through the Trees.
Decided to pick up MCC this year because a close friend of mine grew up with it and I wanted to see what the game was about. My original opinion was "ugh dumb cover military shooter with no captivating plot" And then THIS SONG came on and was like "nah mate, there's more to this game" ..And then I discovered the Flood and were like "No captivating plot, eh?"
All the similar parts of each song. Halo: Combat Evolved 0:38 CE Anniversary 2:07 Halo 2 4:53 Halo 2 Anniversary 7:27 Halo 3 9:45 Halo: Reach 11:17 Halo: Infinite 13:21
Infinite will drop, and with it your armour, your landscapes, your music tracks, your nostalgia but mostly the boys will be back. With that we can rebuild Edit: when infinite drops and drop it will, my objective will be to refind the boys and hopefully we can all play together again.
I like how "Walking Away" is more brassy, more "military" sounding, because it takes place back when the Spartan-IIs were still at their peak, before the heavy losses they took at the start of the war reduced them to a few here and there by the time of Halo CE, while the iterations from the original trilogy have more of a choral feel.
We took a walk in the woods. We saw Lions, Tigers and Bears, and even a Heretic Hero. He was a Zealous Champion. We decided to take another walk, and as we were walking away, we went through the trees
Thanks for compiling!! Listened to this numerous times as well as your "unforgotten" and "on a pale horse" compilations. So thank you! CE - That bassline. CEA - Updated synths and detail in each ear! But that male choir. No. H2 - Darker, more anticipatory of impending action! But lost some of the bass from CE H2A - Clean, crisp sounding percussion. But that male choir again. H3 - Lighter, more atmospheric, at least an in tune choir sound ! Reach - Brass doesn't fit! Having said that, "from the vault" is a superb track from Reach. Infinite - .....just....wow... @Jacob hit with a comment from 2 years ago...these are mixtures of mystical, tribal, and futuristic ..plus sadness, optimism, rage, loss.... the whole series have masterpieces by all their respective composers....even Halo 4.
I was born a year before Halo CE. I only got into it just when MCC released on PC last year with Halo Reach. Even though I have no time investment from the years of launch, they still make me feel nostalgic somehow.
I think that the special thing about halo’s soundtrack is that it makes you feel like you’ve been transported to another world. A lot of games have an epic soundtrack but few can give you that feeling
Hale's soundtrack has always been a part of what made this franchise so very different from every other shooter to come, before or after. I'm anxious but excited for Infinite, whether I buy it or not I'll certainly look into it.
@@ryanbrown4053 yeah, and that's why the original still has it's own appeal. It sounds like it came from 2004. I understand what you mean though. Personally, the anniversary has too much emphasis on percussion. The snare is mixed to loudly for my tastes.
this is one of my favorite songs from halo idk why but it’s so ominous and mysterious and just like makes me so intrigued idk what the feeling is but it’s so good osossoskskskjssjhddbs
That original halo 2 really hit me when it came on. I realized just how long it's been since I've played through halo yet I still remember the exact moment the song comes on.
Halo 2: chapter title - you break it, you buy it. Going through ancient forerunner structures with your odst allies on a scorpion tearing apart everything in your path. Halo 2 was my childhood
!["The Forest Walk" [Remastered] - A Multi-Halo OST Mini-Medley/Mix](/img/n.gif)
I got into this series in the last 3 years, no nostalgic attachment. Yet this track makes me feel like I do, it's almost magical.
I’ve been in for 1 years and it hits different
Been since 2012, started with Combat Evolved, stayed with the series despite how Halo 5 turned out and hopefully eager with how Infinite will turn out. This track always gives me chills.

"Oh, yeah. It's all coming together."

God damn the production quality of halo 2 anniversary soundtrack was top notch.
Man I wish the other songs would have that super strong bass at the beginning of CE's. That's the best imo
I cannot physically listen to this without humming
indeed
Were it so easy
If there's one thing I'm not worried about for infinite it's the soundtrack
Or the sound design
And hopefully because it got delayed so far they will have even more time to polish the music if the composer wanted to add or remix stuff
And the weapon design looks good.
Let's just hope Mastercheif wakes up and halo 4 and 5 were just his lucid dreams
@@VampireFiend616 or wet dreams, thicc cortana in 4, who knows
"halo 5: back for more"
“A Walk in the Woods” is my favorite halo soundtrack ever. It’s really cool to see its evolutions over the years. No matter the game, they all sound good.
All this walking is making my feet hurt, lemme just chill behind this tree and listen to this.
I keep coming back
There was never a reason to go into that hall way after taking a banshee from the bridge... except this one.
@ i literally played that level today just to listen to the music while kicking covenant ass
Which level? Cortana from halo 3?
Growing up in the 90's to a single mother, she would always listen to Phil Collins and Seal. When I played halo CE for the first time this track instantly reminded me of their styles and instantly grew nostalgic over it. Now in my 30's and coming back its the exact same feeling.
My friend group always wondered why I like this song so much. It always gave me a vibe of the 80s. The calm songs type. Though I don't know much about phil collins or seal, it did it hit a note with Hall and Oates' you make my dreams come (true). Somehow it reminds me of those types of songs
Regardless of where you grew up, where you've been, what you've done, who you've met...
Halo, it's soundtracks, the community (although toxic at times lol) has kept us united.
I hope we all get to relive our childhoods when infinite launches, I hope y'all bring your children along, your old friends, new friends. New memories, under a familiar tune.
See you soon people!
Wonderfully said, thank you for spreading positivity!😊
Amazing comment. You have a beautiful day my friend.
some dude named General Heed listened to Heretic, Hero and said: yoooooooooooooooo perfect for my halo vids!
😂🤦♂️
LOL That's right XD
GAH WHICH IS THE CORRECT WAY GENERAL KIDD (way its spelt in the channel name) OR GENERAL HEED (the way the man himself says it) I guess some questions will.nevrr be answered
Halo ce one always gives the most nostalgia. Got it on my xbox 360 around when I first got the xbox 360 around probably 2011 or 2012. I miss those times playing halo ce 2 and 3 with all my friends back then. I like halo 2’s the most out of them all though
So that was CE Anniversary on the 360, unless you're confusing the original with it.
@@skyraider87 the original version of ce is on the Xbox marketplace you know that right?
@@Sing_LoveWRS no I didn't, actually. Interesting. I don't really use the marketplace, so I wouldn't have knowm
@@skyraider87 oh noice and also it costs like 5$ less than cea
2 is more action packed
Halo 2 anniversary would hands down be the best version if they brought back the hitting-an-anvil sound from the original halo 2 version.
The halo infinite one sounds like a well mix of CE, halo 2, halo 3, and a little bit of both halo 4 and 5
yeah can hear the bit of halo 5 in the beginning
@Mc Trucker the music sounds like 343 music style
That’s how stories woek
I'm hearing CE (original, not CEA thank God) and Wars 1. With just a hint of Osiris's theme/Atonement's second movement
@Mc Trucker chill bro, it’s just my general opinion that the infinite has a well mix of all halos, if you really gonna get mad over someone’s opinion then leave
Halo Infinite is finally going to bring us back to what everyone of us fell in love with. Back to basics, but fresh and new, exciting our minds but capturing our hearts. Come on 343, Bring it home.
dude, it's a fucking video game. please get some actual hobbies and form relationships with human beings before you die. there's so much more to life than consuming entertainment products.
:(
“I don’t have to take this. I’m going for a walk”
NOOOOO
"They've always been faster."
this puts me in the feels. played ce anniversary with a friend somewhere in 2014ish and then bought odst to play with him. miss those days
The unsung hero of Halo music. It'd been carrying me through the whole time, and I never noticed.
You never get that feeling like you did playing CE for the first time again after you had played all of it it's irreplaceable
Nothin beat the feeling when under cover of night played while you carried that sniper along the cliffs
Halo 2 and 3 slap wit dis
"Walking Away" is so appropriately named because not only was Reach Bungies last halo game but it was also the last time they'd be remixing "A Walk In The Woods".
God it sounds so good though. Makes me wanna give my life for a faction that doesn't even exist yet.
Edit: the song, not the name. But the name too🤷♂️
@@nakeysnakey6220 i would not give my life for the UNSC
Listening to this 19 years after the hit series' first game was released. November 15th, 2001, the day a game that would touch millions was released. Happy 19th birthday Halo!
I hope Infinite will succeed....
We all have hope...
Deliver hope
Good words spartans. The hype is real
@@ivanmontalvo9333Get armored up and let's dive feet first into HELL!
@@noverlin9299 Heck yeah, bro!
@@ivanmontalvo9333 OORAH!!!
Is no-one going to talk about how Reach's A Walk in the Woods is literally called "Walking Away"? How sad is that for their last game?
As the old saying goes "nothing beats the original" but Through the trees? It hits on a certain level of yes that i haven't felt since halo odst came out. Still dont have high hopes for Infinite just because of 343's track record, but damn am i still looking forward to this game.
Well we can certainly hope
This is definitely a good sign that the soundtrack is back to where it needed to be
343 can make a good story (Halo 4), and a game that flows well gameplay-wise (Halo 5). I just hope Infinite can combine the best of both and improve on it.
How're you feeling about the game after the E3 presentation and getting a lot more info on it?
@@devinbrooks3930 Keeping my expectations low, however I am impressed.
Some call it "a walk in the woods".
I call it a great journey. 20 years of Halo, ups and downs; but the journey waits for no one, brothers.
Just got my grandma to appreciate halo she used to not like it but I finally sat her down and started showing her the cutscenes and explaining the story and she really enjoys it especially the music, today's a good day
Man the Halo 3 one sounds soo damn tight
That crisp yet compressed percussion is on another level
@@cooperlittlehales6268 crisp? Nah. Its compressed a fuck ton tho like its in 60 when everything is in 200 to 320. Basically the sound of gravel. They should have put a more high quality version to give it the respect it deserve.
@@troudbalos That is literally how it sounds. The compression is there even in the highest possible quality of the song. It's a styalistic choice to have it so compressed.
I love the Halo 2 one! So much nostalgia, I still remember playing the last mission over and over again on OG Xbox because I didn't have Xbox Live
We took a Walk in the Woods. On the way, we saw Lions and Tigers as well as a hero, heretic, and a zealous champion. We then took Another Walk and then started Walking Away Through the Trees.
Nice. You put to words exactly what I was thinking.
@@jettfastballs thanks. It all makes sense now in a riddle.
@Alex thanks.
Evryone admit it halo walk in the woods is the best music ever.
Martin O’Donnell: how many variations of the song do you wan’t
Bungie/Halo: Yes
@@CTGungnir 343/Saber Interactive: N'o
@Deathtrooper204 shut it
@Deathtrooper204 thanks friend
I do like this soundtrack but its not favorite in halo series tho
Didn't expect reaches version to be such a banger, that stuff hits hard
Halo was a part of my life through all of elementary and middle school. I'm in high school and still playing it and loving it.
I remember playing Halo 3 with my then 10 years old nephew and I recognized all the songs in the game. It was so awesome
You’re awesome!
Decided to pick up MCC this year because a close friend of mine grew up with it and I wanted to see what the game was about.
My original opinion was "ugh dumb cover military shooter with no captivating plot"
And then THIS SONG came on and was like "nah mate, there's more to this game"
..And then I discovered the Flood and were like "No captivating plot, eh?"
"No captivating plot" *laughs in halo*
All the similar parts of each song.
Halo: Combat Evolved 0:38
CE Anniversary 2:07
Halo 2 4:53
Halo 2 Anniversary 7:27
Halo 3 9:45
Halo: Reach 11:17
Halo: Infinite 13:21
thanks man
I'd hope so, they are remixes of the same song
Infinite will drop, and with it your armour, your landscapes, your music tracks, your nostalgia but mostly the boys will be back. With that we can rebuild
Edit: when infinite drops and drop it will, my objective will be to refind the boys and hopefully we can all play together again.
I'm honestly pretty nervous, infinite doesn't look like it's gonna be all that great, but I'm hoping for the best.
@@spookyknife4645 we all are, but if it gets to the point where they're just clearly rinsing the franchise of nostalgia, I'm leaving Halo
Chips Dubbo had better make a return
God I love Bungie, and Halo, and the community. And I love The Master Chief may he never fade from history
Amen. 🙏
Everybody ignoring how funky that fucking bass is in Halo:Combat Evolved.
Reach's version is my all time favorite. Very military feel
I like how "Walking Away" is more brassy, more "military" sounding, because it takes place back when the Spartan-IIs were still at their peak, before the heavy losses they took at the start of the war reduced them to a few here and there by the time of Halo CE, while the iterations from the original trilogy have more of a choral feel.
the halo infinite sounds like the best so far its like halo 1, 2, and 3 combined. Cant wait for halo infinite to release.
I see what 343 did “A walk in the woods, through the trees.”
For me it's bopping my head
@@anonymousmadlad433 same lol can’t believe I wrote this 7 months ago
I approve
Thanks god😁
We took a walk in the woods. We saw Lions, Tigers and Bears, and even a Heretic Hero. He was a Zealous Champion. We decided to take another walk, and as we were walking away, we went through the trees
We have so many OST's for Halo but this one is seriously under rated, its a true masterpiece it gives true focus and confidence. ✨
I love how every version almost tells one big story, from humble beginnings, to the climax of the universe, down to the last objective: survive.
Thanks for compiling!! Listened to this numerous times as well as your "unforgotten" and "on a pale horse" compilations. So thank you!
CE - That bassline.
CEA - Updated synths and detail in each ear! But that male choir. No.
H2 - Darker, more anticipatory of impending action! But lost some of the bass from CE
H2A - Clean, crisp sounding percussion. But that male choir again.
H3 - Lighter, more atmospheric, at least an in tune choir sound !
Reach - Brass doesn't fit! Having said that, "from the vault" is a superb track from Reach.
Infinite - .....just....wow...
@Jacob hit with a comment from 2 years ago...these are mixtures of mystical, tribal, and futuristic ..plus sadness, optimism, rage, loss.... the whole series have masterpieces by all their respective composers....even Halo 4.
To be honest the reach one fitted the game atmosphere
It sounded a bit more NOBLE
You know what i'm sayin'?
Infinite one is amazing
But reach is also an amazing one
Cuz it captured my emotions in the credits
the first one is the most magical, regardless if you feel nostalgia or not. There is just something special about it
I was born the year this game came out, grew up playing it
I feel almost old now
Lmao which one? Im guessing CE
@@chaseblackstone8749 obviously :D
True
I was born a year before Halo Combat Evolved came out.
I was born a year before Halo CE. I only got into it just when MCC released on PC last year with Halo Reach. Even though I have no time investment from the years of launch, they still make me feel nostalgic somehow.
We’ve walked in the woods for 20 years & still have that wonderful feel like we’re in the game
Being a teenager during this time was an experience I would never give up. 💯 Halo has a soundtrack that is absolutely evocative.
So damn relaxing, yet so empowering. Been a fan of Halo since Halo 3, but love ALL Halo games. It’s a hell of a series.
i can already tell halo infinite is gonna have a sick ost
I think that the special thing about halo’s soundtrack is that it makes you feel like you’ve been transported to another world. A lot of games have an epic soundtrack but few can give you that feeling
Hale's soundtrack has always been a part of what made this franchise so very different from every other shooter to come, before or after. I'm anxious but excited for Infinite, whether I buy it or not I'll certainly look into it.
Just you and a couple of marines cruising in a warthog bringing the fight to the Covenant.
More like cruising it right off the edge💀
@@troyhawkins676 Because you were trying to ram an Elite right after a jump...
Halo 2 (classic) will always be the best version of this.
I agree 💙
Anniversary has better mixing and quality. It's nearly identical other than just literally sounding better
@@ryanbrown4053 yeah, and that's why the original still has it's own appeal. It sounds like it came from 2004. I understand what you mean though. Personally, the anniversary has too much emphasis on percussion. The snare is mixed to loudly for my tastes.
@@ryanbrown4053 it doesnt have that sound tho... like metal clanking (its hard to explain)
As soon as l heard Infinites Through the Trees, l fell in love!
Oh hey, it's you!
@@alexanderthegreat6682 oh hi lol!
Yes the soundtrack is cool and all but they removed the og magnum
Same.
The sound of my childhood, i never owned an xbox but i played every halo over and over on splitscreen at a friends house. Simpler times.
God I love the bass in the first one
That beat drop at 14:47 SLAPS
I did not expect to be transported in spirit back to 2001 thirty seconds into this video. Took me back immediately. This was great.
I like Halo 3’s 64-bit drums and synth, mixed with the smooth and crisp vocals.
this is one of my favorite songs from halo idk why but it’s so ominous and mysterious and just like makes me so intrigued idk what the feeling is but it’s so good osossoskskskjssjhddbs
That original halo 2 really hit me when it came on. I realized just how long it's been since I've played through halo yet I still remember the exact moment the song comes on.
Halo 2: chapter title - you break it, you buy it. Going through ancient forerunner structures with your odst allies on a scorpion tearing apart everything in your path. Halo 2 was my childhood
“A Walk Through the Nostalgia” more like. Man, the Bungie Halo games were such a huge part of my formative years.
You the MVP for making this - I LOVE HALO
