Halo 2 - Halo Theme (Mjolnir Mix)
Memories:
-
As a kid I would leave the Halo2 menu screen open and sleep in the living room with it going in the background, because I was afraid of the dark....

I'm 35. Thank you Bungie for the memories. Greatest era in gaming and we got to live it.

Idk about yall but as someone who grew up with the OG Halos I think they did a PHENOMINAL job recreating Halo 2. The music, the graphics, the cinematics... Everything :)

Halo 2 will always be my game. The campaign, the multiplayer, the music, the story, the glitches. God I miss it.

Its amazing that bungie considered halo 2 to be a failure, due to the amount of content they had to cut, and yet remains the favorite of most fans to this day.

This brings back so many memories. Halo parties, playing on Xbox Live wayy late on those outdated rear projection tv's, trash talking, junk food, super jumps and glitches, trying to beat legendary campaign with your friends. Funny how music alone can take you back to a time in your life to the point where you feel like it was yesterday

In Amber Clad still sends shivers down my spine all these many years later.

34:40 "The center of this zone has a sacred icon critical to the Great Journey, I must find it" "We should cut into the heart of this infestation, retrieve the icon and burn any flood that stands in our way" Motivational screams "The parasite is not to be trifled with, I hope you know what you're doing" This scene gives me chills every single time

I love the Arbiter as a character and its criminal that he took a back seat for Halo 3. Also wished we could have had a better "forerunners are humans" reveal that could let that realization sink in, especially for Arbiter himself. Still one of the best shooters ever made. A fun fact after watching through, Halo 2 did actually have a small balance patch after it came out. And Foundation was originally unlocked by beating the campaign, seeing as it was a Marathon map remake, it was more of an easter egg, but the patch auto-unlocked it. If only pre/post game lobbies were still a thing...

If you were a kid in the early 2000’s you know the nostalgia hits hard. It’s almost overwhelming because the music is just that good. I didn’t realize it back then but I do now! I miss the good O’l days!

We all love Marty, but remember there is also Michael Salvatore as composer. Give the man some credit as well.

I miss the early 00s punk and alternative rock era. This soundtrack is heavily influenced by those genres, interspersed with some Perfect Dark. In conclusion, it's amazing.

Its been so many years since I've listened to this masterpiece and not only do I immediately remember every track, they also give me the same chills as when I was 16.

It 100% could be nostalgia, but as a kid playing Halo 2 for the first time, hearing Blow Me Away play during the fight between the Brutes and Elites REALLY hit home how intense a moment it was both narratively speaking and for gameplay. The game trained me to recognize that when the guitars kicked in, something BIG was about to or currently going down.

I remember a time when I was young, had no responsibilities and had a brother. Me and him used to play the shit out of this game on the og Xbox. We would make little stories on the maps like rvb... we never finished the game though. Then came halo 3 and we only played multiplayer (I only remember playing the first mission). Unfortunately some jackass broke into his house and stole his 360, then his og Xbox gets broken. We then downloaded halo 1 on pc and took turns playing on legendary, cheering each other on... This main menu brings back so many memories... I hope one day once he gets out of jail we can relive these memories again. Thanks if you read this :)

Earth City gives me chills. Remember when I was 13 watching the E3 demo video of Halo 2 on my Xbox and getting more hype for that than anything I had in my life.

One of the best soundtracks ever produced for a game. In a word LEGENDARY.

Just finished playing the Halo 2 campaign with a friend who has never played halo before... It is not just nostalgia. The excitement he had when first playing the Arbiter, the shock at the Gravemind... man it is like playing it for the first time again back in 2004.

Despite so much time passing now, it is incredible how compilations like these can immortalize entire eras of cultural media. You can just feel the 2000s vibes in this compilation & I love it. I miss those days but listening to this makes me feel like I have returned to a much simpler time.
