Galaxy of Combat Soundtrack

After listening to some of Jonathan Churchill's music used in some of Noble's videos, can we expect a wide variety of soundtracks from Halo: Galaxy of Combat? How are you going to include the music at all during gameplay? Will the soundtrack be released online?

Also, what convinced you folks at BVG to stray away from the familiar Halo franchise theme and go with a similar but re imagined version? Are you happy with the path you decided to take? Because I certainly am!

I'm still wondering if Jonathan stayed with either during the conflict. But if he is, or even if you got a new composer, I can't wait to hear some more music!

I hope they release it online. There music competes with 343 and bungie!!! Very Happy

I think Emre mentioned to me yesterday that he was still there.

I'm fairly sure this is because they would have had copyright problems with microsoft if they had used the same songs. it violates their content usage policies.

I'm pretty sure, anyone can use Halo 3 soundtracks.

Edit: O.O looks like the rules also don't allow the name "Halo" to be put into a game title

Sounds great, but what did the Main menu look like? (Maybe post a screenshot Wink

)

But, I'd prefer it if there wasn't music during gameplay. But there was a variety of music in the menus, credits, and galleries

Newer version(Cryengine 3 version)

It didn't have menu Razz
