An Epic Return: The Music And Sound Of Halo 5
Halo 5: Guardians audio director Sotaro Tojima and composer Kazuma Jinnouchi delve into the challenges of balancing the classic Bungie music with new material, and the many techniques that go into making the combat audio more immersive.
Sounds like music from the Bourne films
Ground pound feels so out of place in this game. They need to add another squeaky noise effect upon impact. That way the player loses all sense of the immense weight these Spartans are carrying around. The "pop" that occurs after every kill is cute, very fitting in such a violent world. I think there should be a squeaky sound effect after every footstep taken just in case someone accidentally gets close to feeling badass.
I like how all the best things of halo are coming to halo 5. The music in halo 4 should of had more halo'ee vibe than, whatever 343I thought they would get.
So what the fuck about my Rock anthem for saving the world?
All I hear is shit about synthesizers what about the 80's vibe rock and somewhat tribal upbeats?
I really liked the Halo 4 menu theme, but I missed the classic theme as well. The classic did fit the older games better because they had a more ancient themed art design while the 343 games have a more modern themed art design
While Halo 4 OST was completely different from any other game, it still had some incredible tracks, Green & Blue, Requiem, Arrival, and 117 were amazing.
This game looks fucking awesome
It's a pity that Marty O'donnell isn't doing the OST but these guys seem to know what they're doing. Neil Davidge's halo 4 soundtrack sounded nothing like halo. It's good to have new composers who actually recognise the original soundtrack

WAIT. What? Did he say that they got shot at to capture good hit (edit: bullet fly by) sounds? Am I interpreting that statement correctly?? 2:55
Greatest secret of da Master Chief will be revealed in Halo 5 . Spoiler : Halsey killed Johns parents before she abducted him
This 'sounds' like great news!
I hope it's Steven Vai's play at 3:03
That Locke footage was fantastic. He is a fucking badass!
No more Neil Davidge :'(
Locke's theme sounds epic
Icerand?
A bit off-topic note, but I really do not like the fact that they seem to use the same Elite/remnant look for Arbiter's gang as they did in Halo 4 for the Storm Faction.
I am completely okay with the faction's appearance being unique but its just plain stupid decision to make the whole race have the same looks and even armoring (as far as I've seen) ignoring the previous Halo titles. Glad they're speaking English again at least. And the music seems to be heading to the right direction!
Halo four and five are not canon because it is not made by Bungie and 343 messed up halo
Look at at the guns 343 you really messed up you changed the design for the power weapons you made the rocketlancher look safe what the hell
Anyone else not understand a fucking word this guy is saying?
halo 4s soundtrack was ok but it didn't feel like halo, I'm happy that they're trying to keep with bungies old soundtrack base
Halo 5 will be the best halo yet!!!
Original Halo theme song is very well known, chaning that song is like changing the Jurassic Park theme song.
FUUUUUUUCCKKKKKK YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Hopefully they'll bring some legendary tracks back and not just the main theme! H4 had a great soundtrack but it's not Halo and it's not memorable. Whenever I listen to Halo's soundtracks I can remember what part of the games it appeared in.
But something 343 nailed was the gun sounds, they sound powerful and scary, if you listen to guns in Halo 3 and 2 they sounded like children toys pew pew pew so baaaad. Halo 5 is going to have badass sound again.
it sucks that me mad my brother can't play split screen makes me mad. i just might not buy it now
If they make never forget the menu music i'll be happy!
I'll miss Davidge's score. Though very different, it was excellent. However, Jinnouchi's score sounds fantastic, too. I can't wait for this game!
I liked the music of Halo 4.
Yay the best fkn music is back! XD
Ah the Mantis, the closest thing I can get to driving a gecko from mgs

The classic Halo music is finally back… not to mention the Aliens can speak English again… which was nice, grunts are funny. It looks like 343 really took it upon themselves to make a proper Halo game again.
WHOA WHOA WHOA DID KAZUMA JINNOUCHI SAY THAT YOU COULD CHOOE WHO TO PLAY
kool thingy cant weight to plya
Chiefs theme song will always be the best
Halo 4 sucked hard. Halo 5 was pretty good though. Still prefer old halos though.
Honestly, campaign was admittedly disappointing. Overall good story, but the others are much better. The end didn't feel very rewarding. On the other hand, you guys destroyed my expectations with multiplayer. It was amazing, fast, fun, and most of all, balanced. Really shows that you're learning and improving. Keep it going, 343.
so cool
I'm glad they found this guy. The soundtrack of Halo 4 had no magic to it. It was generic. It could have belonged to any number of video games or movies. But 5 is different and it's unique.
