BTS: Anniversary Music

[DeltaSquad451]

when I hear any music from halo anniversary I think of 1:01 and 1:03

[UnknownWolf127]

Press 9 for 3:18

[GingerK1Dmichael]

i have faith in you 343 dont let me down

[MICHAELTHEDEVIL1]

3:17 by far the best part in the video!

[KUNALGAUTAM777]

WHATS THE INSTRUMENT AT 3:18?



[mepain1]

@KUNALGAUTAM777 Electric(or not?) cello, I think.

[TheGuilleSuit]

3:18 epic chills I instantly smiled and laughed at the awesomeness

[RSSpeacemaker]

3:17, is their an ost for that version on YouTube.

[privateD4L]

the number one person that ill miss is Marty O'Donnell

[mp5619]

3:18 orgasmmm :S

[BungiieGirl]

wow, I'll miss martin O'Donnell.

[godnickl]

i prefer the classic music

[Gir78623]

My god, I'm in love with the remastered score <3

[K3VY8295]

Eargasm...

[SlamageEntertainment]

I like how 343 are giving us options, so if we don't like the new music, we can just go back, that's nice.

[sbo919]

preordered game and soundtrack :)))

[TheGuilleSuit]

3:17

*JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ*

[Fl4sh5150]

I like that jewish guy in the chanticleer =DD

[thebttfchannel]

Am I the only one who listens to 3:17 over and over?

[Gir78623]

@thebttfchannel I wish they'd make a longer version with the cello only, then lead into the full song :P

[thebttfchannel]

@Gir78623 well we will just have to wait for the Anniversary sound track :)

[KUNALGAUTAM777]

@thebttfchannel NO

[COD13LACKOPS]

I want a down loads of all the halo songs so bad! ! !

[SHdudeproductions]

[halodanny360]

[ashlin112]

[nightwheel]

Start at 3:16 for the good stuff.

[lol5043]

THUMBS UP FOR BEAUTIFUL HALO MUSIC!

[Drakken]

So hyped to hear this

[ReachStudioPro]

Aah i remember when i were 5 years old and played Halo CE for the first time and i just have to say that the sound and the music in Halo CE and all the other Halo games is the best i ever heard in a game before. I'm looking forward for next week. Gonna be fun playing it again =D

[ventus5th]

Like this if you upped the volume to hear the new "Brothers in Arms"

[volemek]

Any Halo officials out there actual read this thread? if so, Is the Chanticleer singing the Vocal for the update?????

[xzMetanitexz]

I am proud to say I just completed Halo: CE 2 days ago. xD

Love the music in it. :)

[xRayZur1x]

Genial... ya quiero escuchar Covenant Dance.

[MrHackEverything]

@xRayZur1x me too

[Gir78623]

No matter what I'm always gonna love Halo, especially for its music :)

[ilikepie442]

They have no way to contact Marty O'Donnell??? whaaat? thats unusual

[sammyvhalo]

@ilikepie442 well he stayed with Bungie he didnt go with 343

[civilwargeeky]

9th Grader:

BF3 is Great and Black Ops is THE game.

In middle school Halo was the greatest though, so tell us, what did happen?

[123ewell]

@civilwargeeky i think battlefield is an amazing game but halo.... speechless

[Pivotman1]

@civilwargeeky You cant remember? MW2 happened, and everyone ditched halo for that shitty addictive game.

[NuttyNattie101]

@Pivotman1 This is COD!

/watch?NR=1&v=dXC1DmHYF0Y

[civilwargeeky]

Epic, just.... Epic.

[HENI117]

3:15 for orgasm

[halodanny360]

COD is good but they make a game each year they work on it too fast and they aren't putting any pride like halo.Man I'm the only one in my 6th grade class that likes halo and every one just keeps on sayin that halo sux and call of duty is more realistic...no one send me replys that I'm too young to play halo cause it's not even too bloody.and I'm 11 and with a fantasy game like halo I can take....

[TheOriongamer]

@halodanny360 I salute you

[Masterlink981]

@halodanny360 Me too. I'm in 6th grade and nobody else likes Halo. I LOVE HALO. FUCK CALL OF DUTY.

[HiIeric117]

@Masterlink981 What?! I've only been out of middle school for 3 years. Everybody loved Halo when I was in MS. What happened?

[halodanny360]

@Masterlink981 HIGH FIVE :)

[Masterlink981]

@halodanny360 *highfives through computer screen* Halo is very bloody... That's what I like about Halo. :3

[halodanny360]

@Masterlink981 i hate call of duty now i bought MW3 and its my biggest mistake i will never buy one again.ITS FULL OF CAMPERS AND SO NOT REALISTIC.WTF I SHOT SOMEONE LIKE 4 TIMES WITH 15 BULLETS AND THEY RAN AWAY RESTORED THERE HEALTH AND CAME BACK AND KNIFED ME WHICH IS STUPID.IM NOT COMPLAINING FOR that its just a game but i hear little kids screaming and adults cussing and i have a headache.my friends in school convinced me to buy it and it faild.

[Masterlink981]

@halodanny360 Yep, which is why Halo is ALWAYS badass.

[ZacEffron]

after seeing this , Im pretty sure 343 will make a Halo 3: ODST sequel after Halo 4.

[sregi22]

And they say CoD is better than Halo.... >.>

Sorry didn't realise CoD had such an amazing soundtrack made by top orchestras, recorded in one of the best recording studios!

[spartankiller369]

@sregi22 CoD has no story, and emotion, no compassion, nothing but mind numbing killing and action. For CoD making the game better means more violence, more guns and more ways to kill people. For Halo, making the game better means a great well-thought -out untold story, great emotion within it and a great game play. CoD is just crap with nothing more to it than destruction. Unfortionatly thinking human beings are hard to come by, and that's why more people think CoD is better. Halo :)

[tronk9]

I'd actually love to watch a video of the orchestra performing the music. I'm sure it'll sound amazing in game but I always find it impressive to see musicians actually playing the music I've been slaughtering covies to for the last ten years.

[lambopickle12]

me being a person who grew up with music, i played and still play many insturments. i can see the amount of effort thet 343 is putting into this game and anyone who says that 343 is going to, or did mess up anniversary or halo 4 is just taking it at face value and needs to go deeper and realise just how much work is going not just into the music, but all of the elments of this game, halo 4 and anything that 343 will ever produce.

[TehGlitchGuide]

skywalker did made the music from starwars RIGHT?

[SIXminWHISTLE]

@TehGlitchGuide Skywalker is where a lot of games and movies go to record their music. They also do normal audio stuff. The worked on Star Wars a hundreds of other things. John Williams WROTE the SW music though, he doesn't do everything.

[TehGlitchGuide]

@SIXminWHISTLE haha oke



[iTsAznThunder]

Am I the only one that got chills from 3:17 to end?

[lmg10ny]

sick.

[laxsauceboss12]

Lol im stupid

[laxsauceboss12]

NOOOOO KEEP THE MUSIC THE EXACT SAME!!! NOBODY WANTS IT TO CHANGE, EVEN IF ITS JUST A TINY DIFFERENCE!

[TheJakie99]

@laxsauceboss12  mate theres a option for the games orginal audio so calm down

[Fl4sh5150]

@laxsauceboss12 shut the fuck up



[saulisbomb]

@laxsauceboss12 Its the same only a little better you jackass.

[Donut117]

1:01 ah. that must they guy they based sarge's mustache on

[9tailedfoxloser]

Cockeater

[blastcornlow]

Is there a feature where we can just sit back and relax while listening to the music? I really hope it does :)

[ventus5th]

These guys are total Geniuses! Especially for reworking the "Brothers in Arms" remake! ^-^



[Alteczar]

What? Marty didn't want to share his sheet music?

[Mikespyke]

3:17 that first violin chord sounds so rich. The soundtrack is shaping up to be great

[louismonstaa]

2:28 omg steve jobs? :o

[TheRebelIion]

I like how it sounds at 3:23 when it kinds skips a beat it sounds great

[IEastSideGaming]

its such a shame that Marty O' Donnell left with Bungie like ugh cant even describe his music it was so amazing, though it is really good of 343 to give us the option of using the original sountrack, thanks 343 i hope halo 4 lives up to the standards of Halo 3.

[sookendestroy1]

thumbs up for epic gooseumps

[pasaraza]

keep up the good work 343.

[Mrkz360]

Most epic! 3:17

[WhackyJonathan13]

At 3:17 I got that epic feeling inside me, made me feel happy and that 'cant wait' feeling, i remember playing this over my freinds house when i was 5 and i was just blown away by its awesome, original feel, so i can say truthfully that i'm am a 10 year fan, even though i was so young.

And on the music note, best music ever, no other game will ever have such a buetiful soundtrack. Marty aced it, and so has Skywalker! Thank you 343! But the pistol is 2 over powered lesson its power it a noob wep

[Devdev009]

1:20 is a screenshot of a mac, because MACS ARE EPIC

[SplendidSAHILx117]

@Devdev009 I was surprised when i saw that screenshot! People who work at Microsoft are working with MACS? Proves that Mac is wayy more creative than windows. :P

[DaMasterSarge]

@SplendidSAHILx117 Not really. Both have their own uses. Most modern day developers have MACs, and PCs.

[SplendidSAHILx117]

@DaMasterSarge Bro, I work on both. Mac is wayy more better for creative work like photoshop, movie editing with final cut bro, making visuals and stuff and the operating system itself is very creative and is really really good for animation and sound work.

But windows is also a fantastic operating system. It runs all files and is the best for office work and documents and it is the best system for gaming as well.

Thats the difference between a Mac and Windows.

[DaMasterSarge]

@SplendidSAHILx117 If you want to test run the game, or do modeling, it will have to be on PC. I prefer MAC, you don't have to defend it, I'm just saying that the Modeling, and Testing is done on PC.

I prefer Linux, and Mac over PC. But games only run on PC well... :/

[SplendidSAHILx117]

@DaMasterSarge I know about that bro. Because most games are made for PC :/

[DaMasterSarge]

@SplendidSAHILx117 I'de like for Games to run on Linux, and MAC. I've always hated Windows slow, and heavy code. Most of the code in it is from 1994. MAC, I dunno when its code was made, but it is amazing and clean. Linux is good for people who know how to program.

[Shadow47761]

Halo Is So Inspiring! =)

[epicmarkovich]

what really makes halo so amazing is the drums....its the sound of the drums that make the point: DONT FUCK WITH THE CHIEF.

[jetta420dog]

excuse me

OMGTHISISEPICICANTWAITTHISWILL­BEBETTERTHANMW3BYTHELENGTHOFHA­LOILOVETHIS!

thank you

[SplendidSAHILx117]

@jetta420dog I love you.

[raymondtonk12]

ONE WORD: Boner

[TheRtas]

FUCK. They didn't fix the shotgun error at the botton of the HUD

[GinGeeK]

its funny because basically ...343i isnt actually anything , its just a division of microsoft that has a name and huge budget, basically everything ms ever wanted for halo..

..theyve outsourced pretty much everything theyve done so im scared for halo 4

[wrakth]

@GinGeeK HI GinG, 343 Is outsourcing its work for anniversary coz a huge majority of them are working on Halo 4. cheers!

[GinGeeK]

@wrakth which is exactly what im saying ..the studios very first project is halo 4 ....halos future as a franchise rest on the shoulders of a completely unproven dev team ..which doesnt mean and automatic flop , but its still enough to get me nervous

[NASTAR01]

@GinGeeK Many are nervous. Me? I'm actually optimistic. 343 have a great mind-set, and a lot of the things they've said about what they're thinking about for Halo 4 makes me happy. They seem to understand Halo a lot, which isn't really a surprise seeing as they were created to dedicate themselves to the franchise. The art, and music, we've seen and heard so far is great; and the talent they've recruited is beast. I'm not completely devoid of any nerves, but they're excited nerves.

[mepain1]

@GinGeeK I understand you nervousness, but please remember that the guys at 343 are very talented. In order to get a job as a programmer you will have to have at least successfully shipped 2 AAA titles. They are very talented without a doubt, but if they can work together as one, we will see. But they have my trust :)

[jonanlsh]

holy shit i could feel the cellos in my EARS.

[mitch2748]

If you play ONI sword base at the start if you fire off a cretin ammount if bullets ( less then a clip) with your AS or DMR you will have 343 bullets O_o

[mitch2748]

I love going to school every day and talk about complicated stuff about random halo crap and my other 2 friends are just like O_O "uhhhh what's delta halo" or something that were talking about

[XxHa1oSp4rtanxX]

I Love the music part at 00:4 :)

[Homjek]

For your entertainment: watch?v=V7qYGScWWt0

[nogoodnam3sleft]

I can imagine a solid gold statue of Master Chief as tribute gaming.

[saulisbomb]

1:01 thats a real man's mustache :D

[Masterlink981]

Halo isn't a video game...

It's a work of art.

Thank you Bungie for creating such a beautiful franchise.

And 343, thanks for updating and improving and adding more detail to the franchise. I wish you guys luck on Halo 4.... I just hope we get to fight the Elites again! XD

[john117dude]

1:00 Sup Ponce De Leon.

[DutchPs3Gamers]

1 Person doesn't have ears

[Break2beCool]

Wouldn't it be cool if 2StepsFromHell did the soundtracks of Halo 4??? thumbs up!!

[Fl4sh5150]

is that asian pianist our beloved marty??

[PetraAnimations]

MARTY F*CKIN O'DONNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!!!!!!!

[TmKmHill]

Wow, this is incredible. It's nice to see the people that worked on this game have the same level of reverence for the original as the hardcore fans do. I have the utmost confidence that playing through this is going to be an astounding experience all over again. Thank you 343i, you rule.

[themarathonEFFECT]

343 spent too much time on halo anniversary I want my halo 4!!!!!

[TheAirborneTaco]

3:17 to 3:21 the way the violin was made to be played.

[TmKmHill]

@TheAirborneTaco I hope not, because that's not a violin, lol. That, I believe, is a cello. Still, I agree with the spirit of your comment. :)

[bolodude]

for halo 4 can you guys make halo 4 sound like halo 1 music

[RocjawCypher]

3:19 the awesome hits the fan. Let's do this thing people!

That for me is the ICONIC music of halo- that, out everything makes the game for me. When you are driving at top speed, fleeing from the flood, hunting the hunters, banishing the banshes its great..... and then.... bum bumb bumb BAHHHH-bum bumb bumb BAAAAHHHHHHHHHH- bum bumb bumb BAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-bum bumb bumb Dedle-dedle-dedle

Yeah, suddenly it gos from great, to epic saga.

[1996calvo]

Thumbs up if you wanna go to the room of 2:34 to press all the buttons :D

[Dragoj419]

@1996calvo .....Touch

[1996calvo]

@Dragoj419 sorry my english is bad :/



[Dragoj419]

@1996calvo lol I wasnt correcting you, I just made a Red vs Blue Reference.

[1996calvo]

@Dragoj419 O.o ok LOL

[Jibbletoad]

So, If i'm playing the classic Halo all the sounds are original and if i'm playing the remake it'll come with the new sounds and revised music?

[frazzleberry]

I swear if Halo 4 has shitty orchestral music I'm just gonna turn audio off.

[TheRebelIion]

The new music guy is great they showed a press conference with him its the exact music just newer sounding

[mario2371]

I am crying tears.......... of joy

[KingOfTheLlama]

Halo on Skywalker Ranch? FUCK YES

[Confringo5theslayr]

1:00 that mustache goatee made my day. 

[DerOmeganator]

STFU AND PLAY THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!

[mepain1]

@DerOmeganator This is a BTS(Behind the scenes). It is not meant to display the musics only, but also how it was remade.

[xXmagicliamXx]

3:17 probably the best sound in the world

[mepain1]

@xXmagicliamXx It sounds awesome.

[Spartaner043]

Gänsehaut bei dieser Musik *__*

[CraftyFoxStudio]

Nice 

[gdisoldir]

Easy guys, there just new in this shit

[Baniished]

Dont fuck up 343...

[mepain1]

@Baniished This is a clear example that 343I did more for CEA than Bungie did for Reach.

Currently they are doing better than Bungie around the Reach era.

Don't be narrow minded and give them a chance.

[DSLDARTH]

The music is what makes Halo, You fuck up the music you fuck up the game, the feeling, the emotions, the diffrent sense that the player feels thoughout diffrent moments within the game. So if the Music doesn't work it's prob going to be the last Halo game I buy. It's too bad that they didn't get Martin O'Donnell to do it. He is Amazing

[DannyEastes]

@DSLDARTH It's still Marty's music, its just re recorded

[TheSolstice777]

@DSLDARTH That's why they have the original score option for people like you.

Paranoid.

The music will be fantastic.

[ajw34307]

@DSLDARTH Which is why they chose a more-than-adequate replacement for Marty, not just some guy off the streets of Cambridge... Sotaro Tojima will undoubtably deliver a fantastic music score for the Reclaimer Trilogy,

[arkangelo117]

@DSLDARTH Dude, they've left the original music in it, this game is a labour of love and they've done their damnest to make it even better than the original, and from what i saw it was great!

[HealedWolf]

@DSLDARTH I felt the same but the second I was going to comment, he said there's an option to play the old music witch works for me

[TheElviz86]

I want some Haaalo 4 Newws, im summing this while watching this video.

[FPSArchangel]

goose bumps

btw: don't fuck up Martin's music -.-

[mepain1]

@FPSArchangel BTW: What does it sound like they are doing? It is exactly the same, or almost, at least nothing you can hear by ear. It is a remastered game which means it is the same just 10 times better(or so). The music just sounds more rich, does that ruin his music? No,

[2Sexy2Sexy]

3:17 I jizzed

[WolfGamer117]

343 ... don't fuck up Marty's music

[DAVICIOUSX]

So there is at least an option to listen to the old music in the menu, but why wouldnt you tie that into the back button switch for the graphics?

When you go back to the original visuals, you should go back to the old sound AND music at the touch of the same button for the complete experience.

[ZacEffron]

@DAVICIOUSX Dan Ayoub explained that adding two audio engines as well would lag the crap out of the game .

[mepain1]

@ZacEffron No, it wont. Why do you thing that? Please tell me what information you are basing that on? You can fill the game with whatever you want without lagging the game a single bit, as long as only a few of those assets are being used/rendered it will not make a noticeable difference. The only impact it has is decreasing memory(not a problem in this case) So if they use one audio engine at the time(which they do) it will not impact the game at all.

- Amateur game programmer.

[ZacEffron]

@mepain1 yeah but the problem is switching from one audio engine to the other in-game .

[mepain1]

@ZacEffron They don't, or not all the time. It is not possible to switch audio in game, you will have to select that in the menu, which means it will only select the audio engine once and that is most likely going to be at the start of the game. So there is no need to worry about game performance or frame rate. :)

[ZacEffron]

@mepain1 yeah but what i was saying is that running two audio engines and two visual engines at once during gameplay can cause serious performance issues especially when switching between two engines by pressing the 'back' button . That was what DAVICIOUS was initially inquiring about . :)

[kysix]

@DAVICIOUSX yeah but what if you JUST want old graphics or JUST want old sound, or JUST old music, putting them together means you have the OLD experience or you have the new experience this way you can mix up. cause if you JUST don't like the music, maybe there should be an option for what the back button switchs but this is probably the easier way to do it

[pindalord]

@DAVICIOUSX becouse maybe you want to play with remastered graphics but old music

[mepain1]

@DAVICIOUSX That would have been awesome, but despite how far technology has come, we still run into limitations. I think your question was answered at Halo Fest. It is more difficult switching between audio files in real time, that is why it could not be included.

[HippyJoeMan]

They transcribed EVERY NOTE!?? Damn this is gonna be good :)

[DayLight95]

The soundtrack sounds perfect so far. I wanna cry :')

[JB6622]

This is going to bring back so many happy memories :D. Halo FTW!!!!!!!!

[Greeney89]

ive got every halo soundtrack so far, i DONT think this will be the exception.

[matt30392]

y would they change the music at all, they should of just left it the same, cause its perfect as it is
