    It’s probably because it was too different from the originals, and the fact that the 343 hate was and still is strong since they actively hired people who disliked and wanted to change halo just for the sake of change. Halo 4 music isn’t bad by any means, but it was a drastic departure

    I like the heroic feeling of Halo 4’s ost. Chief was missing and presumed dead for many years only for him to return in the nick of time. He gave people hope that everything would be alright. He saved humanity from the Covenant against unbeatable odds and for it humanity praises Chief as a hero. Chief doesn’t think of himself that way but he knows he is the one that motivates people and just his presence gives people hope even when things are bleak.

    While most of Halo 4 was composed by Neil Davidge, Arrival and 117 were composed by Kazuma Jinnouchi, who later went on to compose the music for Halo 5. Which, quite honestly, was about the only good decision made on Halo 5's production. Blue Team, Light is Green, Warrior World, Dominion, The Trials, and Crypt are some highlights from that OST. Would love to hear actual movies made with the Halo OST's so they will get more respect.

    19:22 Tremolo! There's technically a couple types of tremolo, but most commonly on a string instrument it's exactly what you described: rapid repetition of a note that isn't necessarily in time. If you liked the different take on the music in Halo 4, I would recommend the soundtrack of the little spinoff arcade game that accompanied it: Spartan Assault. The soundtrack was done by the very talented Tom Salta, who basically lived and breathed Halo: CE's soundtrack working on the remaster of it, and his take on the music of Halo is rooted in that original soundtrack as much as it is in the new direction of Halo 4's music.

Not perfect and its defo not on the level of the previous games, but for a team brand new to working with each other; taking on a series as big and ingrained in the public consciousness as Halo? They did very well! To me, Halo 4 is 343's most complete experience at launch and its the 343 game I feel had the most passion poured into it. I hate how 343 over-course corrected Halo 4 in the wrong ways and ditched Halo 4's entire story set up... I really wish Halo 5 was a proper contination of Halo 4... What could have been...

    I think even those “lows” could have become something special if they were brought up as themes throughout the trilogy, but that unfortunately did not happen because 343 did not have a cohesive vision. One of my favorite tracks from all of Halo is Pylons, but it never got a chance to build itself in 5 and 6 like some themes from CE did in 2 and 3, which contributes to why those games’ soundtracks are so universally beloved.

    @volt42re True. Halo 5 basically said "Fuck Halo 4 and everyone who played it." And made everything so bad that Infinite's campaign was just "course correcting".

    ​@gamingwithoutcommentary6551 I think Infinite's campaign was good. It was not as strong as 4's, and nowhere near the same ballpark as 2's. But it was good. I think it took Halo back to its roots in setting and gameplay, while having the emotional story of H4. But like I said it was course correcting. Infinite's 2 main goals were to tie off the whole AI plot line that H5 completely botched in a meaningful way without invalidating everything H4 had set up. (Which I think they did) And two, setting up the main antagonists without pulling something out of their ass. 343 dug through existing lore and found what is, in my opinion, the logical next step in antagonists and power scaling. So, Infinite (At least its campaign) sure as hell was not perfect, but it was good, nothing special, but good.

    I like how all the Halo games have their own music that is distinct but uniquely Halo and I don't think any Halo game missed on the music department you can tell where each song is meant to be in the games, for example, Atonement and 117, Atonement is the main menu theme and 117 is the end of the game, this goes for all the Halo games also!

    Arrival is perfect, for me. It plays during the finale of the game. You need to stop the bad guy from winning pretty much. During the build up you are running to different platforms to hijack some computers, shooting some enemies along the way. Then it hits. The enviroment becomes chaotic, the music swells, there are even more enemies. You gotta buy time now while Cortana hijacks the computers. It's you, vs this mechanical army, for the fate of the world, with only the ost pushing you to give it your all, like a real bardic inspiration. In that moment, you truly become the protagonist. This is a core memory for me. I'll never forget that feeling.

    Yes!!! I loved your Halo series. I used to be a music theory/performance Major, with a specialty for Trumpet performance. I even recently Re-Arranged "Never Forget" From Halo 3's OST for a Brass Quintet :) (Just wanna add, Neil Davidge's version of "Never Forget (Midnight Version)"... I have to say... while Martin O'Donnell set the framework for that piece with his original in Halo 3, Neil seriously has me internally fighting with myself on which one is better, in my opinion because his take on it is SO Gorgeous.) But I've always had the Halo OSTs in my playlist, since I was in Middle School. I've always loved Martin O'Donnell / Michael Salvatori's Compositions for the Bungie Halo Games. And before Halo 4 release, and before Halo 5 released, they released the OSTs first. The MINUTE they were available, they were in my iTunes.. Neil Davidge did a great job on Halo 4... And I'm so happy that he paid so much homage to Martin's Compositions. If you listen to the pieces he wrote, even in the one's you heard in this video, he does a call back to the main Motif's in so many different ways... It really helped the players/fans of Halo to keep their connection with the game despite its difference in art styles.. My favorite track was "Atonement", the first piece you observed here. Vocals were just beautiful, and that French Horn solo.. GA!!! I love hearing other musician's reactions to things I've always loved and were near and dear to my heart. Thank you for having an open mind to the music, and the games I've followed, and grown up playing & feeling the emotional reactions that were intended by the Composers & developers of these stories since I was 6 years old
