Reach is my favorite, but it's you'd probably find darker songs rather than fighty songs. Edit: yeah there's like 4 Reach songs here... It says a lot about the game's particular tone.

If you want to front squat 275lbs listen to this on repeat.

impart (5:40) makes me feel like a villain ready to wreak havoc lmao

I can't not hear certain songs in mixes like this, without feeling 3 things in quick succession: a rush of happiness, that I can't quite explain. A sense of nostalgia, and a rush of dopamine from those memories that's so strong, I get goose bumps when I close my eyes to remember the music, and what I was doing last I'd heard it. For example, I can't hear Halo 4's "To Galaxy" without rocketing back through my memories in my head, to looking at the War Games screen wondering what to play, hearing Halo Legend's "Sacred Icon Suite 2" without flashing back to when I watched it with my brother when the DVD first came out, hearing Halo Reach's "Overture" and thinking back to the moments where I'd boot up reach just to sit in the menu, and listen to the music, and last but not least.. hearing H2's "Zealous Champion" and instantly rewinding back to when I first played H2. Halo may be a far cry from what earned the series its throne for so long... but man, what a fuckin ride it was.

Its that music that LETS YOU HEAR that you ARE ALIVE. WE ARE THOSE HUMANS.

Every time I hear Skyline,I feel I'm winning the battle against banshees and phantoms driving a scorpion.Man I feel like a true spartan now...

No one's gonna talk about Tip of the Spear? That's my favorite.

Glad to see a few Halo Wars tracks made it onto this mix. People might not have liked the RTS but Ensemble studios really poured their love of halo into halo wars. So different and yet so very Halo, much like how ODST broke from the norm with it's slow blues and jazzy tones.

my eyes are watered just because of the 1st minute. I think Im nostalgic. Imagine a Halo movie and it starts with this music intro with a Halo in the background

Halo 3 ODST Skyline just slaps hard holy shit never felt more in the zone than when this is playing.

Its been 3 years sense i heard winter contingency and i still Remember Reach...

To whomever created this mix: you have no idea how much this helped me at work. Thank you. FINISH THE FIGHT!

FOR REAL

At 33:43, the tears came hard. This is why we loved Halo. It was about the potential of humanity to overcome its worst parts, to unflinchingly face destruction, and embrace and struggle for life despite it. Halo taught me that the fight to carry on is the true triumph, not just winning.

Halo 3 and Reach were the days, they were the days you and the boys would hang after school. They were the days we played together and fought together, they were the happiest days of our simple lives. We are all grown up now, games are changing but our memories live on with us, unchanging, ever more nostalgic as the days pass.

The halo wars soundtracks have such nostalgia that is indescribable, I only ever played the demo back then, why do I get such nostalgia from it

@@littlewindstar Exactly! Man I want a Master Chief story movie in the Marvel universe where in a Mandalorian style. Except Chief isn't a regular bunty hunter but a explorer and scavanger for supplies to build a portal and return home to the Halo Galaxy. Star wars starts with: "In a galaxy... Far, far away" And that could be the script that goes like this for the movie or even a series: "In the end of Halo: "Finish The Fight" Master Chief goes via portal to return home but the portal collapses and the explosion from the Ark effects the portal coordination and sends the Master Chief to a _galaxy far, far away_ and the Chief as in the end in Halo: _Finish The Fight_ floats in space "awaiting UNSC" and goes to cryo sleep while cortana sends signals. In the Star Wars galaxy some people catches the signal and locates it to find a ship with nameplate _Forward Unto Dawn_ and figures this is where the signal comes from. They can't identify it but tries boarding action, as the aliens search out the ship they can't find anyone but scavage the ship while they are at it and brings all kinds of new equipment with them they can fit in their own ship. A week later _Forward Unto Dawn_ starts nearing orbit of a planet with life and the planet is full with _The Empire's_ (TE-The Empire) Clones etc. Cortana wakes Chief up from cryo and they get ready for crash landing. After the devastated crash landing a lot of the _TE_ ?Clones? Looks around for what happened and sees if theres anyone alive all around un-known equipment and "material". And as they look around they see a seven-foot tall person walking but they can't see him in detail as because of a fire is blocking full "detailed" sight of them but they (_TE_) signal each other in a group and persue the "shadow figure". Meanwhile the Master Chief has his classic Ma5B assault rifle and Magnum pistol and Cortana. Chief looks around and knows "they" are after the Chief. Chief can't identify them but Cortana explains to Chief that this is a planet far away from home and that the portal caused something with space portal coordination: " _Chief I don't know where we are but what I can understand we are far away from home and that something with the space coordination happen which sent us here_ " - Cortana When they make contact with each other (Master Chief and the _TE_ they identify each other and suppriesing can speak each other languages and both groups are confused. In the future Chief learns what the _Te_ (The Empire) goal is and joins the rebellion. While the Rebellion helps Chief find a way 'home'. Will Chief return home or stay? Or will he find himself in a same position as this/last time a third time? The possibility is big because either of them now which way is 'home'.

BAM, Warrior World’s wild ambience comes in. 24:00 onward but specifically 24:12 the gun shots are well placed. Edit... “Impart” has always been my jam, so musically poetic.

What a controversy that was... and yet how over time that mostly faded away, and people began to look back on Reach so fondly many now consider it the best one. I have to say, it's my favorite for graphical style, in terms of the weapons, armor, etc., but 2 will always be the Halo to beat imo.
