Halo 3 OST - Choose Wisely (Bonus Track)

[Dgeyer36]

God, this just reminds me of all the days of playing Halo 3 and just chilling on the menu.

[DeekshaThakur94]

when does this play in the game ?

[MKTUROK117]

@DeekshaThakur94 In the menu, sometimes it plays right away after the monks, sometimes it takes a while.

[Howcast26]

To play this song on a double bass, play the open d string on the bow for a few seconds... Then go to the g string immediately and play the a with one finger. Then, you just need a singer!

[TheBL00DAssassin]

...the nostalgia, im crying no kidding

2007-2008: i was a little kid who loved to play Infection on Halo 3

2009-2010: i don't play Halo 3 anymore

2011: im a teenager i got an Xbox 360 and i brought Halo 3... im playing Infection again with my friends :') i miss 2007 and 2008 *crying from nostalgia*

[chasedrewpiano]

@TheBL00DAssassin I know how you feel, I played halo 3 for a long time, I have alot of memories.

[ShiballsProductions]

"Send me out...... with a bang."

[xxzerocc]

At 0:40 sunds like Orbit of Glass ( Halo 2)

[XBigJManX]

3 cod fans have wandered off.

[scubahick]

how does this song spark a religious dispute?

[megabrowser17]

@scubahick IT'S YOUTUBE. THAT'S HOW.

[1998XBOX]

finnaly i found this peaceful song

[SpaceMilk07]

I don't believe in God, BUT I do believe in luck, karma, spirits, and,

[TheDeathriders101]

@SpaceMilk07 and what and what plz tell me plzzzz :( it must be found out all mysteries must be found out plzz

[nytryder000]

@taylor You know,you rly need a nice,hot,refreshing cup of STFU.Dumbass COD fanboys...

[ScoutSniper127]

Gets me in a calm mood every time...

[godnacho1000]

If i ever die then i'll be happy i lived long enough to have fun.Also if you die then you etheir had a suckiesh life or a good life.(sorry for bad spelling)

[Swampymcswamp]

These songs are very deep and appealing.

[hurufhijaiyyah]

what? are u kidding me

[taylor32532541]

ok u people need to get a life every..... u know what im done explaining

[shadow00188]

This song echos. It echos through my mind, my room, my home, my life. It is just soo calming. My dreams are even filled with this :]

[sneakyrogues]

I sit late at night, listening to this last bit of song before I shut all my systems down and go to sleep, then when I am laying there it still echoes throughout my thoughts, and I can only imagine what might there be, the day after death. We all face death sooner or later, and it is frightening...unless you do something in life to make yourself feel like you achieved it and earned your passing.. atleast thats what I think.

[unholychild2117]

@sneakyrogues :') me too

[Wolf9185]

@sneakyrogues This song really makes the reality of death a little less frightening.. For one, I believe in an afterlife such as Heaven or Hell, but have had my doubts as most people will have. Halo has become nearly the foundation for which I and many others place our thoughts and ideas on. It's inspired me to search for the answers to forboding questions as opposed to taking someone else's word for it. Is there a Heaven? We'll know someday, but until then, this may be as close as we get. :)

[sneakyrogues]

@Wolf9185 That was a nice responce you wrote out, and to maybe settle your conflict even more, what I have done is looked into many other religions. I live in the south of the U.S and most people here are traditional and stubborn to old ways, though I tend to be open minded, for example buddhism beliefs about balances and inner self experiences can really make you think or dream. But that is just my two cents.

[Wolf9185]

@sneakyrogues Thank you. :) I'm going to stick with my faith in God. I agree strongly that we must think for ourselves nowadays in terms of religion, I've been a little bit of everywhere in terms of spirituality. And though we are all different, there is a way to combine religious beliefs with cultural beliefs such as Buddhism. I believe in Karma, I just don't think it will affect me after death, but rather while I'm still alive. I just really want to find that special place.

[tekkenna]

3 fools with no soul

[x21gunsx4everx]

all i can picture when this is playing is when the arbiter is looking around at the dead brutes and grunts on the sierra 117 forest and feeling emotionally painful because of the memorable betrayal of the covenant.

[MoMonkeysmile117]

if someone still wonders that why halo is the best game ever just listen to this song and the others too

[hiphoplama]

whats ost ?

[Kwydjybo]

@hiphoplama Original sound track

[JackReaper8]

I will usually just listen to this song when my match is loading or im in my custom settings.... but i wait till it's over to start the game =]

[Spectre3554]

Wow thank you ive been looking for this version forever.

[rainrax]

honor guard tench hut(attention)! PREESNT hrms(arms)!

[Frankagator]

does anyone know the type of ,music this is? All I can find is sad violin or cheesy 80s music.

[Spectre3554]

@Frankagator Its instrumental or classical.

[MattKofler]

@Frankagator this would be considered choral music

[AlexSmashX2]

@MattKofler I'd go, and say its a hybrid of orchestral, and choral.

[MattKofler]

@AlexSmashX2 I agree

[mitchr1224]

@AlexSmashX2 its instrumental. That about covers everything. Ya, it has some voices but they arent saying anything other that OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHH so i dont count that as lyrics.

[Iwillgetyou2]

3 people didn't choose wisely

[Gruntsarecool234]

117th like :D

[allanbennettsword]

3 people play cock of dooty

[Hemcowz]

@allanbennettsword They are both great games. i play both.

[yep2yel]

Choose your enemies wisely

For when you fight them

You are not fighting to win

You are fighting to live

Fighting to learn

And to love

Fighting to keep what is yours

But most importantly

To keep what you care for

[fowarduntodawn1]

@yep2yel that.. that is beautiful. Amen

[flipboitj]

this is the menu music. the title of the song makes perfect sense to me now

[TehUnlimited]

What the hell is with everyone and playing Halo music at funerals?

[projapple12]

@TehUnlimited Lol. Got a point! altho I want never forget played at mine! lol

[TharTassakahn]

@TehUnlimited Because, my friend, halo music is beautiful.

[InfernoZX5]

They should've made a full song out of this...so much left undone.

[Luchiadh]

@InfernoZX5 Agreed. I'd like to hear a full movement out of this.

[Oreomeister]

John gets stolen at the age of 6, is essentially brain washed, he grows up with a "family" of spartans, watches as almost all of them die, but goes on to save the world anyways despite the fact that all of his friends and family are dead, and in the end he's rewarded by being left alone in the middle of space, light years from civilization, to die a slow slow death on a lifeless hunk of metal.

But wait...

[SpritePix]

@Oreomeister But wait, Halo 4 is coming out and rise of Master chief is coming! It isnt the end! not just yet friend!

[7526Yellow]

@Oreomeister It cant be that lifeless if theres air on it ...

[Oreomeister]

@7526Yellow John's suit is air tight and has its own air supply. Plus he's put in cryo, which freezes him and causes his body...stop.

[7526Yellow]

@Oreomeister Theres fire ... fire needs oxygen

[DaMasterSarge]

This song tells a great fiction that maybe some day will be forgotten and come true and we will have to defend the human race.

[CrisisCake]

@DaMasterSarge Our planet will never meet those from another.

[rockymountains08]

@DaMasterSarge Dude, that's not a good thing. Still, it would be kind of cool. One you get over the whole possible extinction thing.

[WW2Phan001]

@DaMasterSarge neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer­d i hat ppl who pretend a game is real

[MrErt567]

@DaMasterSarge Dude. We wont be around in 500 years. We are fucking killing ourselves.

[383gta1]

@DaMasterSarge maybe some day,some day,long from now,the chief will awaken,and halo will be.... REBORN... btw Klokhag im sorry for your dad

[spudnick3490]

Sums up the entire Halo series for me in a song....I dont know why

[Brinemusic]

@spudnick3490 Hmm, I feel that to. Picturing the whole series, books in all.

[MartinLangis]

The Halo music is so beautiful, Sometimes it makes me cry.

[mattressmaniacs]

ur so right

[celix4n]

Does anyone know if there is a extended version or remix of this song, even a track that Closely resembles this one would be very much appriciated.(as long as its longer).

[lemabe12345]

i cant find the song where theres drumming and lots of action please someone help me find it..

[dopkalfarx]

@lemabe12345 try warthog run song is the one from the ending

[Aaron117x]

americunts.. oops I meant to say americans love halo 3

[awesomeman]

your cool... not really

[YCpowerT]

dude.... wtf

[micster0]

I love the ambiance of this track.

[TehCheezBurgrz]

Peaceful. ^^

[Pyrimidinkproduction]

If you buy the limited edition Halo 2 and watch the DVD you see that there are infact 7 halo rings! not just 3!

I think they might make some games about the others

[orbitofdoom16]

The books also point out that the covenent is much larger than what is given in the games, A freaking epic finale will probably happen in Halo 5 or 6(in the main series, not the prequils)

[Pyrimidinkproduction]

I have only read the first part of the first book (CONTACT HARVEST)

The games arent very acurate to the books! are they?

[orbitofdoom16]

The First book is The Fall of Reach, the book in which the events ocurred first is Contact Harvest. You kinda haft to read beind the lines a bit, Halo 1+2 are pretty well descriped in the First 3 books, as is Halo Wars in Contact Harvest, Halo 3 is vagely mentioned in Ghost Of Oynx, but its not clear. I am a VERY big halo fanboy, I can quote almost every line from most of the books!

[hyruleking3001]

Just stop posting.

[orbitofdoom16]

About what?, its all true, and Zelda got old fast

[hyruleking3001]

Won't ever be a 5 or 6. Sorry to burst your bubble.

[orbitofdoom16]

If you dont know the story that well, dont bother. The main story games will go up to 5, then a end of Master Chief game

[hyruleking3001]

lmfao

[kiba917]

actually, your both right, there will never be add-ons to the main story, but branch games like halo wars will still come out, if you count halo reach and halo ODST thats 5 right there

[DreamTraveller1]

Uh, kinda -not- when Bungie has confirmed that, After Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach is the last title of the Halo series they're doing. Any future games, if any, will be made by 343 Industries. Also, considering Chief's fate the end of Halo 3, I doubt any games'll focus on him.

[orbitofdoom16]

Gearbox is already doing Halo 4, and Bungie said the same thing after Halo 2. You do know the Cheif isnt dead? or the covenant? Or the Flood?

[DreamTraveller1]

Pfff, Gearbox? What, the people who do Band of Brothers and -not- someone Bungie related? Where'd you get that crap?

And...I never said that the Covenant was gone (though what's left of them's peaceful now), and the Flood -is- dead after the death of the Gravemind. And, well, you know, the Chief's drifting in space.

[orbitofdoom16]

I think Gearbox could do OK with a game with Bungies Help, and I got it on Bungie day last year when I was in game with one of the Artist from Bungie. And the Flood is still around as long as there are more rings(4 out of 7, 3 in game, and 1 in the books), a new gravemind will be formed to direct the flood. As long as there are more Prophet led covenant citys, there will always be agression. And the Chief is floating near a Sheild world, Where the other Spartans are

[DreamTraveller1]

Except all the Prophets are dead?

[orbitofdoom16]

No, the propets are their own race(millions more) and there are more covenant super citys

[DreamTraveller1]

As in, the named ones. Creating a new one to be a random opponent would be a quite desperate attempt to continue the series. Out of the named ones, all but two, the survivors being relative unknowns, are dead or deposed.

[orbitofdoom16]

The Prophets already have their successors named(in the books). The games dont explain this well

[DreamTraveller1]

...Again. Re-using the Prophets as opponents is hardly enticing, because Halo 2 and 3 already did it.

[orbitofdoom16]

Its how the story goes in the books, the process described is actually quite exciting, It would be a great covenant game play level

[DreamTraveller1]

...Yes, -again-, having prophets as opponents is not a good move because Prophets, Truth especially, were already set up to be the Covenant big bads.

And even the Flood is growing stale.

[orbitofdoom16]

Go read the books

[DreamTraveller1]

...Aren't you understanding me? I'm saying Prophets= stale opponents, I'm not saying anything about them being a species or how they became prophets. I doubt anyone wants to play another Halo title or series wherein a group of babbling zealots are the main foes.

[orbitofdoom16]

If you would read the books, you would understand the Shan Shylum were a race of warriors, untill they started assimilating the groups that would eventually become the Covenant. The Shan Shylum took on and defeated the Elites, Brutes, and Kig-Yar.

[DreamTraveller1]

For the love of...

I -SAID- that having Prophets reappear as opponents, -when they have already been opponents-, would be a desperate attempt to continue the series. I did -NOT-, conversely, ask for a fucking history lesson.

[orbitofdoom16]

Stick to your animae there kid, and stop trying to sound, like an, adult

[Snipehunter09]

new to books but what exactly are the shan shylum?

[orbitofdoom16]

The race the Prophets belong to

[Snipehunter09]

ahh. i see, but aren't prophets superior in brains? not brawn?

[orbitofdoom16]

Yes, they are the main reason behind most covenant technologys(they did copie it from the forerunners though), thats why they would make great adversairys by themselfs

[Snipehunter09]

ahh.....so for every great army comes great leaders, and if the prophets are gone the covenant would've been like "what now?" but how did they actually "defeat" elites, brutes, and all the others? steroids?=P

[orbitofdoom16]

They tricked the Brutes, and they fought the Elites for a long time, It was kinda like the Humans vs Covenant, they would lose on ground, but win in space

[elements218]

They had sex with the brutes, and they fxxked the elites for a long time, it was kinda like humans vs covenant, they would lose on bed, but win on the floor.

[elements218]

every great army comes shitty leaders, and if the prophets are gone the covenant wouldve been like "oh yes lets have party" but how did they actually have "sex" with elites, brutes and all the others? I suppose they do not have any sexual organs.

[Arbiter627]

The shan shylum never defeated the elites. Acually the elitles and prohets were about to destroy each other.

[orbitofdoom16]

Technically they did, the Elites of the time considerd not fighting and decimating their eniemes defeat

[elements218]

no they didn't. read chapter 12 then u will know.

[dnabg]

u are right i dont whant another halo game with mc i just whant to see what happens with him i hope the new upcomin halo legend series shows us the end of the story

[orbitofdoom16]

Halo legend is an anmaie based on subplots during the main story

[Robinsilk]

Have you played ODST? The Rookie and that squad are bad asses. I want another game with them cause ODST was too damn short, seriously Microsoft rushed them too much...

[demarco759]

dude ODST wasnt short its only an expansion of the HALO 3 game

[cika1234]

They split from Microsoft dude. I liked the games size I never got bored of it, I Still wanted more when all was said and done.

[dieseld0g]

They said the same thing about ODST being their last game.

[DreamTraveller1]

Hardly a decent riposte when Reach has been officialized as their last title.

[dieseld0g]

So was ODST and then Reach was announced, all im saying is dont go believeing everything they say.

[devilishcow999]

also a new gravemind could be formed as long as there are still flood spores to infect any living beings cuz afterall, a gravemind is just a highly concetrated amount of flood beings

[JJmastah]

@ devilcow:

u r rong.

a gravemind is a near-omniscient(all knowing) creature with all the memories and intelligence of the beings it ''flooded''. it is capable of telepathic communication and is highly manipulative. read halopedia for more info.

[devilishcow999]

tht is true if u want to give a more detailed description of it

[JJmastah]

i would, but yt wont allow me to give a more detailed description. stupid 500 character limit>.> but if u want to know more, visit halopedia(halo.wikiaDoTcom, i learned everything i know there

[devilishcow999]

lol i learned my halo stuff there too

[mattressmaniacs]

lol halo pedia

[hyruleking3001]

You'd best be trolling.

[hyruleking3001]

Old news.

[hyruleking3001]

As I've said before, this song always makes me think of a sort of "Farewell" song to the Halo trilogy. Does anyone else get that impression?

[holycrapith]

yeah but i hope they don't end it here!

[balltoball1]

i do to

[SGTsamuel]

This song is good! its quite peaceful and it puts you to sleep sometimes..lol...well pce out! 5/5*

[haloking333]

there will be a halo 4 they cant stall us seeing how master chief ends plus what his face is like for real im betting my life therell be dome form of sequel

[MatildaNH]

maybe Halo Reach is the Halo 4 everyone is crying for? :p

[dieseld0g]

No it wont be matilda as reach is based vefore halo CE

[MatildaNH]

haha okej

[kiba917]

but see halo wars took place after CE and before halo2 and they still released it after halo 3, which means the very same thing could happen with halo reach

[dieseld0g]

wtf are you talking about. reach is based before halo CE so how would it be halo 4 ?

[kiba917]

Im not saying it could be halo 4, I'm just saying that it could be a new part into the halo trilogy if anyone ever decides to make it, I could not care less if its halo 4 or halo 13, as long as the trilogy continues
