  • the alto sax solo at 2:24 just kills me; to anyone who doubts videogame's potential for a genuinely moving experience, i'd have them play ODST; particularly the part immediately after the first cutscene when this piece of music plays.

    Never before had a game made me feel such feelings of isolation.

  • @pwebsers correction, i meant after the first flash back

  • WE NEED A NEW ODST GAME THUMBS UP SO 343 industries CAN SEE!!!!!!!!!

    halo 4

    halo odst 2

    halo 5.....

  • It's nighttime. I was just walking home from my friend's house through the empty streets of Quincy Center. I thought of this song as I walked to the train station. Rest assured, I had goosebumps on the way back. . . .

  • play with this video /watch?v=AYw7eJYadco

  • Haven't played the game but this song is awesome. 

  • @nelthas very good game, worth buying it

  • listen at the same time /watch?v=AYw7eJYadco !!!

  • One of my favorite things about this game was the soundtracks ^-^ i love this game 

  • Those chords...

  • I never thought ODST would be my favorite Halo game when I first saw it. But the dark music , the "i''m alone and lost" atmosphere,... + you're a human, not a genetically modified supersoldier, The "chapter" story telling, the sad story your surroundings tell you,... ODST is so unique in the series, i guess it's like "the majora's mask" from the halo series. Just an awesome game ^^

  • <3

    

  • just beautiful, absolutley beautiful and amazing music. Halo is the best

  • Close your eyes, while listening to the first part, and imagin for a second, in a cold, dark room, with moonlight seeping in through cracks in the roof and walls, is a smll group of engineers (huragok) huddled together for warmth, frightened, scared and wet. All of a sudden, a large blast door opens, and standing in the frame, is the rookie, alone, holding his arm out and beckoning the engineers to follow him to safety. That's what I think when I hear this song.

  • I remember the first time I played this, just as I found an ONI supply cache with some Mongooses inside, 3:21 started to play.

    Biggest grin ever.

  • @TheManFromSokoto lol it sounds like a retro game called kid chameolon for sega mega drive( genesis) wierd but amazing mussic

  • Thinking I'll be replaying this game once through before I replay through Mass Effect 1 and 2 to get ready for ME3. Forgot how fun this game can be.

  • Lol @ Argument

  • Halo, Minecraft, Skyrim, Call of Duty, Battlefeild, their all good games. Why don't we just close our mouths and sip on our tea while sitting by the fire listening to this song?

  • @snuggiemom no, Call of Duty, god no!

  • @snuggiemom You have a fire? Talk about old-fashioned. I'm sure most of us would have central heating. If you really don't, then sorry.

  • minecraft "SWEEDEN" piano song is more depressing than this

  • @bital12345 Lol. Sweden isn't even remotely depressing, and this song's intent is to convey the feeling of being lost at night, not to directly depress you. -_-

  • @bital12345 Minecraft sucks.

  • @bital12345 People who play Minecraft don't like this world, so they make their own world. Anyway, I am feeding the troll now, just listen to your SWEDEN(?) music to depress yourself. I wish you good luck with that.

  • @TheDudeFelix Is it bad to not like this world? I mean, with all the shit going on like the pollution and politics?

  • @TheDudeFelix What do you have against minecraft shithead?

  • @bital12345 Because Sweden was never meant to be compared to a FPS's OST

  • This is my theme, it always plays on my head when i'm alone

  • @TheBL00DAssassin just like the rookie

  • @KhorneBerzerker0 Exactly

  • i like halo it and has been around for 10 years 

  • Best soundtrack in the series hands down,it makes me feel like im walking down a rainy street in the night

  • It just gets me whenever that sax kicks in, I wish it lasted longer.

  • listening to this in my truck in the rain...

    it feels relaxing

  • this song is just too amazing. That sense of being lost, wandering for no purpose.

  • Listen to this playlist with RainyMood in the background. Chills

  • @AYEgallo Bravo.

  • arbit3r abit3r luk itz iz aw35omes shut the fuck up chief XD

    i love this

  • Sitting around... I don't know what to do anymore.... we've lost our home... now we have to escape... As john would say, "it's like being in a burning building, it was once home to great things, now it's a death trap." I'm not going to sit around anymore... Escape? Sure, sounds fun.... I guess. This is Rookie... signing off... for now.

  • Halo ODST's Music + Halo Reach's Graphics + Epic storyline + Halo 3's multiplayer= the best game in the world.

  • @HeyItzRayRay i miss the god old infection games on foundry.. michael jackson games and stuff like that.. such great times

  • @HeyItzRayRay Don't forget plus Halo 3 and 2 music

  • Comment removed

  • @HeyItzRayRay

    I thought Halo 2's multiplayer was the best.

  • @thewiseoaktree Halo 3's customization and Halo 2's multiplayer and epic environments.

  • @HeyItzRayRay better graphics than reach are needed otherwise I agree

  • I will miss this game so fucking much, probably think I should say that to halo ce but they're having a remake!

  • OMG this music is so bueatiful

  • ODST is actually my favorite of the Halo games. Has a decent story, told in a unique way (at least to the series), has the best overall atmosphere, by far the best soundtrack, and to top it all off, the complete Halo 3 multiplayer. Sure the single player could've been longer, but I still love playing it. Not to mention the suppressed SMG is by far my favorite human gun in the entire Halo franchise!

  • @thebestusernameeva ODST was had most immersion of all the Halo's, it was just a perfect single player.

  • Is it Difference or Deference?

  • @EMNorway It is indeed deference. Look up the meaning of 'to defer' if you wonder what it means. :)

  • Comment removed

  • @ktmf2 Thanks, it was just that someone is writing the track as ¨Difference for Darkness¨.

  • @EMNorway You're probably talking about Amazon? They got it wrong: take a look at the album-art (at amazon), at the backside yout can see it *is* deference :)

  • This song really made it seem like you were all alone in the city. Just one lone wanderer.

  • The sax jazz was the best... Suits a rainy day..

  • beautiful... just beautiful... 

  • The best ODST jazz part ^^

  • I might use the opening for a short film in doing. Just gotta wait for a rainy day. shoudnt be hard, clive in the UK ;p

  • If there's ever a zombie apocalypse and i'm all alone, i'd definitely have this music playing from my ipod speakers....

  • This would be perfect for a sad rainy scene in a movie.

  • Best part: 0:01 to 6:39.

  • mmm.... noir

    

  • Comment removed

  • wow @ 3:09 they just killed the mood -_- they should have the first part on a separate track

  • @sonicusr yeah i thought the exact same thing, in the first half of the song i was thinking that this song was really good and sad but the the other half came and it sounded like the george lopez theme to me.

  • *the audiophiles, my bad

  • While looking for thw audiohiles I think I heard this song enough to last me a life time...

  • @NintendoMaster098 I wonder how long each of those lives lasted. How many times did you end up respawning? xD No diss intended.

  • @MichaelBailee Each life was about 2 hours.... most of it was just wandering around the city. I only respawned like 3 times... all I remember from wandering around was this song....over and over and over again. It was sickening after a while...

  • @NintendoMaster098 Haha sickening... I wouldn't understand but boring, yes. Was there no guide to speed up the process?

  • @MichaelBailee There was a video guide but I already had like 60% of them so I wasn't going to go through each and every spot again. Besides I wasn't going to remember where I had and hadn't been. So I found a map which was kinda useful. My computer is in my room upstairs and my xbox is in the basement so I couldn't use both at the same time.

  • @NintendoMaster098 Ah I see. Well come time Anniversary, if you need to hunt for the skulls It'll probably be less repetitive. xD Plus the music is always changing form area to area unlike the rookie levels which have a set piece each time.

  • I just love the noir theme. that urban, jazz, soothing yet a little depressing feel you get. surprise that halo added that.

  • I juss love the sax solo wat sax iz In dis song

  • One of the best video game songs of all time.

  • it seems after 9:09 the music becomes reminicent of halo 1

  • @imaybewin i mean 3:09

  • Listening to this while it's actually raining? Envioronmental much.

  • this is one of the most saddest and most beautiful songs i'v ever heard

  • There is no other game in the world like this one. And nothing will ever become like it. Its just too good.

  • ODST by far has my favorite video game songs in it. I remember that I used to just sit in one part of a level and listen to some of the music. Great game.

  • @The3picNerd yea I can´t belive that the most people say that this is the worst halo game :/

  • @abdamit I think that the reason most people don't like it is because it was such a large change from what they are used to. I think it was a nice change of pace though.

  • @The3picNerd And the fact that they FINALLY made a Halo Free-roam game really made me happy xD, too bad they can't do another one, maybe like another ODST game, but like... maybe on the original halo, following the storyline Erik Nylund(i think?) made with Halo: The Flood... when the ODST take the butte and stuff, that'd be an awesome game :D

  • @abdamit I think the worst one was 3 honestly,and even then it was quite a good game. Halo is a great series.

  • @DJLightbringer I think reach is the worst, cause the story is prety good, but it´s always the same...

  • @abdamit really i liked reach alot.

  • @The3picNerd I used to sit in a corner with low health and ammo, and just listen to this, and when I watched it in Theater, I cried, because it looked like Rookie was lost....and sad......

  • @TheWierdo67 Wow, that's makes me depressed. Thank you for reminding me of this amazing song though.

  • @The3picNerd We will remember the day Bungie gave us Halo 3 ODST, for it was a great day...for all of us.....*sniff* I'll miss them....Bungie......

  • @TheWierdo67 yah we will. I love Bungie and all of their halo games. bah bye bungie!

  • @Xboxdude343 The sane people who use the word "dude", I suppose. Nice name, ass bag.

  • What kind of dorks listen to the score of a game? I turn the Music Volume down when I play.

  • @CyBeRdEmOn1234 I'm sorry you don't appreciate a good score when you hear one.

  • @CyBeRdEmOn1234 What kind of people from the year 2011 say the word "Dorks"?

  • @CyBeRdEmOn1234 I like how you say this after looking up a game's soundtrack...

  • I have to say, the song is beautiful... but at 3:09, they killed it.

  • @kadaj0073 That's because it starts a new song. These OST's are a little different in which they use multiple songs in single titles.

  • @CptKSlasher it's a shame marty won't be working on halo soundtracks anymore, even more so when halo was starting to show a little more variety with ODST and REACH.

  • This is the song that put Marty right up there with John Williams in OST talent

  • I wish they continued the story. Even the Epilogue is a cliffhanger.

  • @thedragonb0y The name of the track is called "Trailhead" and someone's got it on YouTube isolated from the rest. ^_^ Hope this helps.

  • @taimdala It sounds like something from the blue man group

  • what be the name of the song that starts at 3:07?

  • @thedragonb0y It's called "Trailhead". Although it is not a separate song, it's kinda like a "sub-song"... A song within a song lol.

  • probably one of the most sadest

    songs i heard T_T

  • the dislikes are from those marines people always seem to leave behind when they need help.

    Marine: We NEED help!

    HUD: New Objective

    Master Chief: *sprints to new objective*

    Marine: wow, what a dick *gets shot*

  • It was this ONE song that reminded me of those good Halo days, where I would wait impatiently for a Halo game to come out. Those days where I would have orgasms while playing the campaign. Those days where i would ragequit and T-bag my enemies in multiplayer. I guess that this days are over. R.I.P Bungie. You will be missed. Btw, ever wondered about Bungie Aerospace?

  • ODST's music was beast of all Halos.

  • Nope. The 5 dislikes were from the Prophet of Regret, the Prophet of Truth, the Prophet of Mercy, Tarturus, Cortana because Master Chief was being a bad boyfriend by falling asleep in a cryo-chamber in the end of Halo 3, And Sergeant Johnson because Master Chief was being an asshole and forgot the Med-Pack in the warthog.

  • @arbiter26 Nope... That's 6...

  • @arbiter26

    That's six.

  • @arbiter26 The 5 dislikers were the covenant getting their butts kicked

  • @arbiter26 master chief isnt cortanas boyfriend, ya goof

  • @Shabs360 It was a joke bro.

  • the five dislikes were the brute cheifton, flipyap, and some brute minors lol

  • @martianman13 shit...the other 3 were Stosh, Infinity ward, and Treyarch. (trolling)

  • mfw the most thumbed up comment has 117 thumbs.

  • 343 is NNNOOOTTT* I REPEAT NOT MAKING HALO 4 that was coplete bs from the first reach came out

  • @martianman13 yea 343 isnt makeing halo 4 there redoing the first game, halo 4 hasnt been confirmed but its been said by reliable sources that bungie is in the making of it

  • @justinlax39 no sorry but they are not remaking halo: combat evolved bungie wont let them because halo 1 is the first halo and they want to keep it the same as it is, sorry.

  • @martianman13 no you are wrong they are not redoing the game they are updateing the graphics and adding muitiplayer

  • @justinlax39 NOPE THEY WILL NOT REMAKE IT BECAUSE THEN THEY WILL HAVE TO REMAKE HALO 2 THEN THEY WILL GET NEW GRAPHICS SERVER THEN UPDATE HALO 3 AND IT WOULD ALL GO DOWNHILL NO CAPS LOCK INTENDED

  • @justinlax39 Its a complete revamp of the engine from 343 that they now own, and letting a 3rd party business put it together for our entertainment. Don't speak on things you know nothing of. (Not to you justin just...putting that out there)

  • @AroreForLife halo remake and halo 4 was jst announced blow me

  • @justinlax39 Halo 4 trailer, developer 343 Industries, do not be confused bungie is NEVER making another Halo title, all control is being handed to 343

  • @ryakoasakora yes but also as i said in prvious comments 343 is redoing the graphics on halo ce

  • @justinlax39 They're starting out good, sending out 2 games and announcing that there's gonna be a halo 5 and halo 6, not in his words of course he said that "Halo 4 is the beginning of a new trilogy".

  • @ryakoasakora Look,just sense he said "a new trilogy" doesnt mean 5 or 6. That just may mean they are going to change the trilogy has we know it. Meaning Halo 4 is going to be awesome.

  • @justinlax39 look obviously u dont know anything about up coming games

  • @justinlax39 Ok. 343 is Redoing Halo 1 and Halo 2. Halo 4 By 343. Done and Done.

  • @martianman13 lol wut? Of course 343's making Halo 4. I don't know where you're getting your info from.

  • @martianman13 343 is DOING HALO 4. Redoing Halo 1 and Halo 2

  • @alienz194 NO FUCKING DUH IVE GOTTEN A LOT OF SHIT FROM THIS POST SO SHUT THE FUCK UP IT WAS ONLY WHEN RUMORS WERE STARTING SO FUCK YOU AND THEY ARENT MAKING REMAKES!!!!!

  • @martianman13 Yes they are. Didnt you see Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary? Rumors 1 month ago...I knew this shit 5 months ago.

  • @martianman13 No need to be rude :)

  • i almost cry every time i hear this song, and think of every halo character that we all love

  • Halo ODST In my honest opinion had the best sound track aside from Halo 3. Beautiful, original, you can't even tell it's still halo at times.

  • Listening to this while watch the Endeavor launch is amazing.

  • the first part of this theme captures the very feeling of the first moments of the game: The rookie getting out from his capsule, seeing a devastated and desolated city, not knowing if his team members are alive, he has to struggle for survive the covenant invasion force, and also find his team members.

  • Epic

  • When I discovered that halo is supposed to show us the future Persian wars I was really happy that Americans found a respectful way to honer the Spartans, the Thespians and the Thebans even if they don't do it straight, never the less they don't have to. Awesome game also

  • Oh my fucking god this shit just works!

  • 5 people were struck be lightning

  • @laatyne @ajw34307 After doing some research, I think this may either be the following things: A. It's a publicity stunt by Joystiq B. 343 and, M$ wanted to take attraction off Halo 4 while it's being made. C. in this scenerio it is actually being made by that company, while 343 is hard at work on Halo 4 and, this C.E. Remake could either be a cover up for a small game based on the orgins of Master Cheif, or it's the real deal.

  • Such relaxing jazz

  • The spartans that never were.

  • Halo Combat Evolved was a part of my childhood and it remains my favorite game. I really hope the company doing the remake of Halo CE knows what they're doing. If they fuck it up I will personally beat them all to death with a traffic cone.

  • @QuackyBear They already are fucking it up. They aren't using the engine that Reach runs on, even though Bungie gave rights to the engine to Microsoft so that they could use it, so that means nothing will look the same as Reach, and I really can't tell what the people were thinking both at Microsoft and at the company that is redoing it. Also: The same company created "Timeshift" which every review says it sucks, the graphics are HORRID, and the gameplay is cliched. Hooray. Problem, TL;DR?

  • @Iaantyne Well done, you are basing your argument off a rumour with no evidence. There's no evidence Halo CE is being remade, you're a fool for taking Joystiq's statement as gospel when 343 and Microsoft have DENIED that they're working on a Halo CE remake.

  • @ajw34307 Actually it WAS confirmed. I said in my statement that its the company that created the game Timeshift, and that they are not going to use the same engine Reach used. STFU if you don't know what you are talking about, please. Its not a rumor, and I wouldn't have said anything if it wasn't confirmed.

  • @ajw34307 Actually it WAS confirmed. I said in my statement that its the company that created the game Timeshift, and that they are not going to use the same engine Reach used. STFU if you don't know what you are talking about, please. Its not a rumor, and I wouldn't have said anything if it wasn't confirmed. And Microsoft and 343 HAVE said they are working on Halo continuation.

  • @ajw34307 I agree with you most of it's rumours but, I doubt if they are making anything Halo related that it's a damn remake.. Halo C.E. is awesome WITH OUT a top-of-the-line game engine, I wouldn't mind halo 1-2 being released in a trillogy collectors pack for the 360 but, remade? No. If they are going to make something, continue the series starting off from the halo 3 cliff hanger. It's what I want, It's what the fan's want and, we all know Halo is a franchise that is STILL alive and, well.

  • @Iaantyne Calm down dude, search "Halo 4 rumours confirmed" it will explain what they are really doing. Listen up, 343 is made up of ex-bungie people, when the bungie big heads wanted to move on, all the die hard people who worked so hard to create this child named Halo, were hired on to 343 infact some of the main art-directors, story line writers and, graphics designers are ethier Ex-Bungie or, fresh out of college and, are die hard fans of Halo.

  • The second half of this song starting at 3:07 makes me want to drag my girlfriend into the bedroom by her hair like a caveman, Even during gameplay, I'll be running around popping grunts with the pistol thinking "this is some kickass babymakin' music."

  • @06cdvanw Lol.

  • Definetly the most unique Halo game to date. Your alone in a city after a massive bomb came off. There is a bigger fight somewhere far away in the universe and you are a lone UNSC soldier. An ODST. Listening to this track gives you the feeling: Im alone and I need to find my team...

  • Beautiful. Thats all.

  • Forgot all about this song until two kids played it at our schools talent show lol, so amazing!

  • @eyeofthelyger that is fucking amazin people play this for talent shows at schools. id b lucky if someone mentioned it on the announcements or even cares

  • This is the song I always remember as "That Epic Song"

  • I wish the game was alittle bit longer because the levels were short but good game though

  • @rageID2011 I used at least 6 hours just wondering on New Mombasa with Rookie. I think that is bit long + every other levels.. So I dont call it short if you really enjoy it. Audio logs, city itself and all secrets.. Long game, good game.

  • I love the bit where it goes boom boom Bum BUM!- pum pum Pum PUN!

    Makes me wanna cry its so... sad and lonely =(

    Love the game, love the soundtrack. Makes for a perfect package.

    Who's with me?

  • I love the bit where it goes boom boom Bum BUM!- pum pum Pum PUN!

  • The music in this game is so different to all the other halos. Its darker, lonelier and maybe with a hint of despair in it, but still with uplifting parts to counter it. Perfect for the game storyline. Once again, applause to O'Donnel and Salvatori, without them the Halo universe would be a very different place.

  • Calm, Easy and a bit moody music.. its just what i need after a hard week of school

  • Someone should make a plaque with the words 'I remember Reach' on it.

  • its cool wen i was going to buy a xbox 360 i got the one were it came with halo 3 odst and forza moter speed...i made a good choice picking this because the songs in this is really awesome and it fits the gameplay...

  • @Tomaz1745 ...forza motor sports 3 

  • This makes me want to play ODST, I'm such a ass for not playing it for like 2 weeks.
