Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori have teamed up to follow up on the notable scores of both Halo and Halo 2 in Halo 3: ODST. The official soundtrack will be available from Sumthing Else Music Works later this month. On September 22nd, the two-disc set will hit retail oulets. Digital music versions will be available on www.sumthingdigital.com and, of course, iTunes.
"I'm happy to be able to share all new compositions and recordings created for Halo 3: ODST," said composer Martin O'Donnell. "The music reflects the new mood, new heroes, and new story of the game. I worked with the Northwest Sinfonia for the orchestral recordings and also added some nice alto sax solos and some new guitar solos. The piano sneaks back in again a few times too, but I can't seem to help that."
I once did a remix of the Halo theme, but it was so terrible that I dare not share it with anyone.

But I'm a huge Marty fan. I even got a chance to meet him and shake his magical hands.
I will definitely be checking this out.
And hey, I'll probably play the game too.
Yes, Halo is overrated and sucks but by your username, i assume you're a fan of ICP, that is even worse.
But yes, ICP truly does suck.
Seriously, it sucks as a fan to always want to comment on this shit and be barraged by everyone about how much Halo sucks. If it really did piss you off that much, then why go to a story about it and comment on said story? Why don't you just ignore it?
Besides, you may not like the game, but it's music is really good. You don't even have to be a fan to acknowledge that.
You know what sucks? What Kanye West did to Taylor Swift (and many others in the past). He can "suck a nut." But video games don't deserve to be ripped on that much. I'm not saying everyone has to like Halo, it's okay to think it's just a strictly average FPS, but it definitely is not a horrible game.
That said, I like Halo, and love the music. Hopefully I'll be able to find this somewhere in my small town.
fanboy am i! yay! flame war!!!!!!
i will for sure get this, i already have odst payed off.
i do have call of duty 6 reserved, but i dont know, i know i wont play it online, so im starting to wonder if i should just rent it isntead. i know it will be good, but how often will i replay it?
hmmmmm
games im going to pick up before the end of the year...
halo odst
left 4 dead 2
new super mario brothers wii
dead speace extraction
(on the fence) call of duty 6
I love how this guy just tried to claim that there is way too much Halo and then brings up Call of Duty. As if Modern Warfare 2 isn't the 7th or 8th game in the series (counting Big Red One and the CoD expansion).
Also, HAH-HAH! You like ICP! How embarrassing!
@mrsatan - Which game has more grenades, Halo or COD4? Hmmm, HALO. So enjoy playing Grenadlo 3 OMFG, r-tard.
+ Not to say that I support halo or like it in any way, im just saying from what I experienced playing through both types of games :P.
