Don't know more than this tweet as of yet, but would be a bold move by Bungie.

For those of you who don't know, O'Donnell was a primary composer for the Halo series and was the resident in-house composer for Bungie and the upcoming Destiny series.

[Riderz1337]

Woah.

 

[chubigans]

whaaaaa

 

[Animefreek]

Wait, what? Seriously?

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

That's... an odd move to say the least.

 

[Vhagar]

wow....

 

[BBboy20]

WTF!?

 

[Wario64]

Wow, huge

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Ouch. Destiny will suffer.

Frankie needs to get him on the phone.

 

[GamerJM]

....Why?

Why?!

 

[Tagg9]

Nothing is ever done without cause.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

The hell?

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Back to Halo?

 

[Jeff-DSA]

That's not cool...not cool at all.

 

[Eclectic Jabber Monkey]

What was his role? Some context would be nice.

Edit: Brain lapse.

 

[The Librarian]

I just saw that tweet. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not. It seems almost unbelievable.

 

[careksims]

The hell!? What is this!? D:

 

[chubigans]

Nothing is ever done without cause.

That be true. Wonder what's going on.

 

[graywolf323]

holy shit

what the heck happened?

 

[Lingitiz]

What the fuck? Horrible move by Bungie.

 

[GrizzNKev]

I just saw that too. I feel like I can't believe that it's true. I imagined him being with Bungie until retirement.

No one can fill his shoes.

 

[sheamus]

i hear 343 is hiring

 

[Twin Tails]

WTF This dude is a fucking god.

 

[BeekleMatter]

Really? Marty? Fired? Is this real life?

Ok... well... I guess I'm excited to see what he'll cook up next

Spoiler

for halo 5

 

[KdMgMan]

Well this just something else...

 

[nhlducks35]

What was his role? Some context would be nice.

Composer I would assume.

 

[MendicantBS]

Holy crap. WHAT?!
He has to be joking, right guys? right?!

 

[Vidpixel]

Woah, that's crazy if true.

 

[TheBioLover]

Wut.

 

[Vhagar]

Microsoft secretly reassembling Halo 2 Bungie for Halo 5.

 

[Ingueferroque]

Doesn't he post here?

 

[golem]

Paging 343

 

[Feltrol]

What's wrong with you, Bungie?

 

[LowSignal]

Maybe he can get a job with 343

 

[smurfx]

What was his role? Some context would be nice.

Edit: Brain lapse.

Composer, audio director, sound designer is what wikipedia says.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

Maybe he can work on Halo now?

 

[Linkhero1]

What was his role? Some context would be nice.

Edit: Brain lapse.

He was a composer

 

[Moofers]

Wtf? Talk about killing the golden goose... That guy wrote some of the most iconic music in all of gaming. The Halo theme, Mjolnir mix, the fucking REACH THEME.

I mean, wow. Somebody over there just shit the bed.

 

[reKon]

Druckmann has too much power, we gotta stop him

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Neil Druckmann, chill out breh.


On a serious note, this is really strange and bad for Bungie's soundtracks. Hopefully he lands somewhere that takes advantage of his great work.

 

[Insane Dead]

Wow wtf this is surprising. :/ Wonder what happened?

 

[farisr]

And with that my hype for Destiny falls by 50%

 

[Horseticuffs]

This party is getting wild lately!

 

[clav]

Preorder really cancelled.

wtf

 

[blackflag]

Damn for him to put it out there like that he must have not even gotten a severance. Usually got to sign an NDA to receive it.

 

[Twin Tails]

Maybe he can work on Halo now?

Yes Please

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

they must've felt his destiny was elsewhere

Spoiler

hope he finds a job

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

HOLY SHIT

I love you Marty. Hopefully his work on Destiny stays.

 

[Syphon Filter]

what the fuck? 343 better get him ,would be very good for halo!

 

[coolasj19]

Wait a second! That's epic music guy! You can't fire him! What the hell was the reason? Was he a dick? Did he punch a baby? Leakers, help.
