  1. WUT ???? I got the Specialization code via email but it didn't say anything about getting the map pack free......
  2. I just created an account to simply say that you nailed it 100% right ! Thank You. I purchased the Halo 4 OST the very day it was released and was extremely disappointed. Not with the music in general. The score is very nice and I like several (Not all) of the tracks, but it certainly does not evoke ANY sense of being in the Halo World, at least not for me. I can definitely say I have zero anticipation for the Halo 5 OST if they keep Davidge at the healm. At the very least, they should bring Marty back so he and Davidge can work together on the next OST. What's equally disappointing is that there is no central element to the music. The tracks are all different. Obviously some may like this, but for a cohessive sound track which would continue the epic theme/feeling of the Halo Universe, one would expect some tracks to contain elements of others and expand/change direction a bit. And I am definitely not talking about those garish re-mixes. This is an epic sound track, not an underground Rave mix. My honest advice is to BRING MARTY BACK to at least help out to bring back the Halo FEEL to the OST. An added bouns would be to BRING BACK Michael Salvatori too. Use them alone or have Davidge co-write WITH them. I get the whole concept of taking Halo in a "different" direction vs. the original three games, but you simply don't exclude the fundamental elements of a score that has become a legend with simply a few notes. John Williams didn't do it for Star Wars. Bear Mccreary didn't do it for Battlestar Galactica, and none of the half dozen composers who worked on all the various Star Trek OST's didn't do it. This is why those long running scores were so succesful. Not saying Davidge's work won't be successful, I'm just saying he has not incorperated the Halo feel to this OST. Finger crossed that something better happens for Halo 5 OST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
