Line 1:
{{work}}
* Many songs from the various ''[[Halo]]'' soundtracks, but this troper's favorite is "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S68GmenFk2g One Final Effort]" from ''Halo 3''.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmUaPP605_w To Kill a Demon], played during one of the more ridiculously fun vehicle sections in ''Halo 3'' is [[
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0mQk7JEVq4 main theme?] Even with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a43xjc6iT9k face-melting guitar solos?] Or [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFOJ13sw8o4 a full orchestra and chorus?]
** And then [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23bE23KMUZQ Unyielding] came along to prove this theme did not require any of the above to ROCK.
Line 13:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW8nG7n_M3s This Is The Hour.] Really, there ''is'' no better music to end the world on.
* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1fPUejOTB8 On A Pale Horse]", because Banshee fights on the bridges of Assault on the Control Room are always fun.
** While that was my favorite song on the original soundtrack, I think ''Halo 3''{{'}}s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAcEfmC3-OA version] topped it, as the first part of the piece 'Behold a Pale Horse'. A lot of ''Halo 3''{{'}}s work were new versions of themes from the first and second.
* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2O_MyhdjY4 Reborn]", the overture of the final level of ''Halo 3''.
* ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34cGnonnTiA Greatest Journey]'', ''the'' most epic ''complete'' rendition of the Halo Theme (''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0mQk7JEVq4 Halo]'' being the original and ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awmUc8onlb0&fmt=18 Mjolnir Mix]'' being the second) serves as the background music for the final [[Incredibly Lame Pun|run]] of ''Halo 3''.
Line 30:
* Mind I add [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RccLY1xWPz8 Wage] from the Delta Halo Suite? Mainly because every time this troper hears it, what ever he is doing becomes epic by association. Seriously, try it - stick it on your phone, go for a walk. If you don't feel the epic increase the instant drum line kicks in at 2:03, there is something wrong. Putting it with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQR-n6Z7Kxk the entire suite] just takes it [[Up to Eleven]] for bonus points.
* What can I say? There's a saddening lack of ''Halo Legends'' music here, so I'll start us out with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV2r8IoKG_o Machines and Might], a short but very sweet tune, heard in the equally sweet short, "Prototype" among other episodes.

"But who the hell's piloting it?" }}
** I am astonished that no one has yet mentioned Sacred Icon Suite 2 - basically the Arbiter's theme meets Unforgotten meets Sacred Icon Suite 1, except on steroids, on fire, and dual-wielding Rocket Launchers. That's how awesome it is.
Line 42:
** Holy crap, your post is a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for you
* Let me just add that no matter what you think about ''Halo 3''--whether you love it or loathe it, think it's the funnest thing ever or have no interest in it whatsoever, are obsessed with it or can't stand the sound of the word "Halo", you absolutely cannot deny that the music is ''amazing.'' And yes, this comes from someone who dislikes ''Halo''. But that music is so beautiful, I can't help but love it!
* Technically, it's not [[Myth|originally]] from ''Halo'', but it appears in each game: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCFtBlKDIaM Siege of Madrigal], one of the most forlorn, haunting, and awesome [[Lonely Piano Piece|Lonely Piano Pieces]] ever. It's pretty much Bungie's official theme. So much so that it continuously loops in the hidden tribute room easter egg on the mission "The Package" in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', which contains farewell messages to the community. *[[Tear Jerker|SNIFF]]*
* A motion comic of the story The Return, from ''Halo Evolutions'', was recently made. The first bit of music from it, a [[One-Woman Wail]] piece, is absolutely amazing.
* From ''ODST'', during the final level, you have [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR7d5PEfVYA Mercy Plea]. So somber yet heroic; evoking the feeling of soldiers going off to face their final battle with honor.

Marty O'Donnell is god.
