The last thread had a one-month lifespan: from April 12th to May 13th. Crazy.

Curious if anyone gets the reference in the title.

[ElzarTheBam]

Praying for the biggest Info dump yet, at the very least a BTS and some new reveals of weapons and customization.

[Ryaaan14]

Quick turn.

[blamite]

This thread will be over by the second day of E3.

Thread title: ouch.

[Hydranockz]

OT4, no longer will I think of Halo 3.

[Arnie]

I hear the OST is pretty good.

[Ryaaan14]

OT4, no longer will I think of Halo 3.

[StalkerUKCG]

[Letters]

Curious if anyone gets the reference in the title.

Admit there's no reference, you're scared of embracing your Team Downer self.

OT4, no longer will I think of Halo 3.

Reach is gone from the title again, woooooo!

[Ryaaan14]

You need to post more this thread, just saying.

With E3 coming, not being banned, and running out of tv shows to watch at home, I think it's pretty likely.

California's 101 Highway about a mile south from San Luis Obispo.

I can feel it, this isn't a tame release like ODST or Reach, this is starting to feel like Halo 3, the hype is strong.

[Fuchsdh]

Halo 4 music. Hope it's given the full arrangement treatment. One disc would not do it justice.

[VivaciousJazzy]

Wow, because of minecraft I haven't really checked halo gaf the past few days really. Didn't expect to be on a new OT yet.

[Stinkles]

Look at all the effs I give?
Banned?
Haters gonna hate?


Yes. All of them.

[Demoncarnotaur]

I do seriously wonder how long this will last since e3 is right around the corner..

I just ripped the entire Halo 4 soundtrack to a more portable format from the GIANT uncompressed files. Right now it's about 100 tracks of stuff. Obviously the OST will be way less than that, given variants and vignettes. We have an opportunity to work with some VERY amazing electronic musicians and one or two vocalists to do a second disc of remixes the OST disc would be 'pure' to avoid breaking any Benjamins. But I think it would be pretty badass. But goddamn does Neil Davidge have good taste in 'instruments.' there are some sounds in this that I just can't stop getting goosebumps from. Especially given the fictional context for some of these moments. We listen to these tracks on Mackie studio monitors and the amount of detail is absolutely insane. When I think about these getting jammed through stereo speakers on a TV (including mine in one room) I sob a little.

I want to hear it. Badly.

[Tawpgun]

Sudden urge to play GTAIV.

[mmmmmort]

Wait a minute.... Where is mmmmort?!!?!?!?! We can't do this thread without him.

You may proceed with the halo.
