We're The Desperate Measures (ODST Theme)

[mastergmoore]

as soon as i saw the desperate measures trailer i searched for this song and u came up like 3 years ago ur awesome

[EN3RG123D]

If you want to do it on legendary, do it with a friend. It's better together

[pVVwMW2]

This game was by far the hardest game to beat on legendary enough said

[blaster00000]

Spartans kick ass

ODSTs do it with style

[lkalbaugh]

The ODST were, according to Captain Silva, going to win the war against the Covenant. The ODST were just as amazing as the Spartans.

[sirfighterace]

Ah ODST. The direct copy of starship troopers... (the book, not the shitty movie)

[kingofthings7929]

I have thought long and hard on why halo is better than Cod (don't judge me). i have reached an epiphany. IT'S THE MUSIC!!!

[blaster00000]

@kingofthings7929 I agree. although u gotta admit hans zimmer composed some really great tracks for mw2 despite the game being a glitch filled mess

[krith]

BTW: the transition in 3:59 would be epic, if the actual composers decided to do it... sadly they didn't try...

[krith]

The download link is not very good, because it relies on youtube and the audio quality here sucks. Should have provided another one... may I suggest "let's crate"?

[spartan4118]

can you sent this to me? its bad ass

[DukeOfTennessee117]

Awesome song.

[Akutenshi1990]

great job! :D

[LoneWolf117Leader]

@Th4tXbox360N3wb yes.

[gregsteele1]

this music deserves to be in a movie

[KellarJ]

dewd. That is all.

[EnragedPorkchop]

ODST had such good music... But it could've been a much better game.

[snatchadams69]

Feet First!!!

[LoneWolf117Leader]

@snatchadams69 Yes.

[LoveElizabeth16]

dose odst stand for anything?

[TheSnippy1]

@LoveElizabeth16 orbital drop shock trooper

[xrayluxray]

orfuckinggasmic

[NariNaraga22]

Hell Yeah!!

[sokkaizcool]

Pour it on boys!

[gaiarailink]

My god, that picture and the music just screams badass.

[infantryhawk]

Too bad the squad was never united in the game like in this picture.

[sergio29048]

were are spartans-were are ODST ..!!!!

[Turian100]

4:00 reminded me of Halo Reach for a second there

[BigOleShotgun]

<3 this tune. :3

[TurboBoyBlack]

Al final asi kiero aprender a tocar la guitarra

[mastergmoore]

if odst had a multiplayer i would have never goten halo reach

[nawazshiraj]

This song is just pure badass distilled into 6 minutes of musical heaven.

[thedevilssaints]

Well...there is kind of a dirty crossover into a different sample, with all due respect. It's good, still, just saying. I'm not using technical terms to talk out of my ass, I was just saying it seemed like you missed something from the Desperate Measures trailer. Since you had samples from every other song, and because of the title, I had assumed that you were just drawing other samples from it. Just my two cents. Anyways, I apologize for whatever. Let's not have a stupid youtube fight.

[dgjr97]

rookie:noble six lone wolf can take care of himself

buck:carter leader

romeo:jun sniper

dare:kat just holds the magnum mostly

dutch:emile both act bad and cool

mickey:jorge i dunno why u guys are gonna have to figure that out

[WiseOldBill]

@dgjr97 Mickey is a demolitions expert like Jorge. theres your reason

[munchies117]

Cool

[TheGuiltyScope]

2:12 best part!

[gg9139]

love the song

[LTGeraldo]

the covenant have earth, they own new mombasa anyone who could've droven them is dead or gon, desperate times call for Desperate Measures, me and my team, geuss we're the Desperate Measure (visor goes on)

[r3idtard]

good job.

[TICKLE221]

what the bit that sounds like a violin going bom bom....bom

[GALWAYSINPER]

ites the best halo music

[argonzeit]

You need to put the quote "We are the desperate messures" but it i havent listen to the whole song yet. But if its not in there you need to at the begining or the end

[HIVEBWOLF]

I used to sit around during Romeos mission just not killing any thing so i could listen to the bad ass music

[TheUndertakerfan12]

about time i found a link that works

[kiwickle]

I think this song is actually Halo3:ODST OST Menagerie.

[7heRed]

@kiwickle Partially. This is a mash up of all the portions of tracks with a similar beat put together.

[kiwickle]

@7heRed

ah ok

[mastergmoore]

which is the one with the guitar

[girlygirl57394]

i only like elites when they kill me =)

[CSMmichael]

ya skyline theme rocks

[trimegato]

yeah!!!

[BlackWatch117]

Just plain awesome

[thedevilssaints]

You missed a song. When Buck says the line, "Navy eggheads dusted off our equipment" (paraphrase) there is a guitar riff that is just like an alternating semi-tone whole tone interval.

[7heRed]

@thedevilssaints ...Over my head. The song is fine, dude.

[SpartanB146]

The song is fine, but he is right. There was a part from Traffic Jam in there that you missed.

[WiseOldBill]

@thedevilssaints WTF are you on about?



[thedevilssaints]

WiseOldBill, basic music theory. A semi tone-whole tone interval is basically what led zeppelin's "Kashmir", sounds like. It was in the ODST Trailer, "Desperate Measures". If you listen to Kashmir, and put it side by side, they sound very, very similar. I will just provide a link and a time. look up Desperate Measures, I believe the second video in search. 1:56. A semi-tone is just a flat or sharp change, it would be "half a note", I guess if you didn't know much about music. You know solfege?

[DeploymentDiary]

im not sure if its possible to find the actuall song...how it appears to be on the game. I LOVE THIS SONG!

[AxelBoi2K10]

Great quality when i chose MP3 High Quality. Heard this tune on the Reach Beta and I NEEDED to know what this was called, well now that i have it, i give you my thanks. :)

[farseer094]

you need to just email this to me man

mokafrap34@yahoo.com man I need this haha simply brilliantly compilated

[7heRed]

@farseer094 haha alright, I'll send it to you. Did the Download link not work? I'll try to fix it.

[TimberwolfCY]

Nice work!

[darkguy376]

this was on mission 6 on halo 3 odst

[TheFORCEOfFury]

Troopers, we are green and very, VERY MEAN!

[LoudGJ]

@TheFORCEOfFury We are droppin' into Hell, troopers! Time to grow a pair!!

[AirWaterLandBuffalo]

@scooterhero259 The beta is awesome so far. Invasion ftw, Generator Defense looks like it'll be cool when it comes out.

[AirWaterLandBuffalo]

Lol, I suddenly had this image of the sergeant of an ODST squad encountering some enemies and then shouting "ODSTs, ROCK OUT!" They then proceed to break out electric guitars and blow the Brutes away with the power of Rock...

[behannrp]

3:50 rox

[likepaul]

This was a really great concept. I've expanded upon the concept and made it as precise as I can. If you're interested, I'll upload it and post it.

[AirWaterLandBuffalo]

Man I love that theme.

[HylianSwordsmanTy]

(: time to go kills some grunt

[dualblade14]

not a bad.... remix, would that be the correct term?

[7heRed]

No, a "mash up" or "compilation" is more like it.

[7heRed]

How come nobody reads the description?

[caboose176545]

@7heRed a lot of ppl are stupid like that, but nice video, and nice editing skills

[auniversalstick]

because they is ah jaming to the songs?!

[7heRed]

Yeah, that would definitely render a lesser mind's ability to read useless.

[auniversalstick]

lol it would

[drakknight118]

i think the song is from the sniper mission where you play as romeo cause i heard it several times and was cool.especcially on the part where i get a killing spree by killing banshees.

[Sn1p3rSh4wn]

WTF This is Skyline!

[DnDdoubleDEE]

@Sn1p3rSh4wn yes but these are the awesome parts of skyline!

[erickardito10]

What is the name of the song?

[7heRed]

"We're The Desperate Measures (ODST Theme)" I put this together using clips from the soundtrack.

[erickardito10]

@7heRed

thankyou =D

[erickardito10]

i love song!!! :D

[unytcommsys]

I am searching for the MP3 download, but cant find it. Where?

[unytcommsys]

I only found the audio CD. LOL, I am trying to care for the environment. Purchase it via MP3-Download. Although, the dis will be worth money some day.

[mackalady55]

i have this song on my guitar hero game :)

[jtgtjtgt]

the song gets good at 4:00

[Robloxman01]

@jtgtjtgt NO IT GETS GOOD @ 0:01 whoops caps..

[EZnewby]

Love the video man, when i heard this in Halo ODST (I think the 5th mission?) I was like "I NEED THIS SONG" haha so thanks for this!!!

[VELOC1RAPT0R]

do you have odst josh? what's it like!?

[7heRed]

Yes! It is by far the best Halo game in the series. It's totally different, yet familiar. Yeah, that's vague. But we both know I'm terrible at explaining things. >_>

It's great! I'd highly recommend it. It's like they fixed Halo 3. XD

[jubjub250]

its pretty much halo and halo3 merged, you get halo's health system and the fun, fast gameplay and possibly the dumb grunt ai in one funtastic campain. summed it up amirite?

btw, ya gunna post any other odst musics?

[7heRed]

no no no, I'm not a music poster. *points at description*

[jubjub250]

the way to download it is weird

i own the game, this song is so awesome to listen to while fighting loads of covie

[7heRed]

yeah, that'll download the video itself for you (as an MP4 file), but you have to convert it to an mp3 on your own. *shrugs*

And hell yeah, this song is badass! Lol

[Siblyx]

Man I want to play odst but my xbox is getting sent back from repairs xP The songs for halo seem to get better and better :D
