Coming soon: The Halo 3: ODSTOST

by Richard Mitchell { Sep 8th 2009 at 5:33PM }

During the Halo 3: ODST panel at PAX, Bungie revealed -- much to everyone's surprise -- that there were plans to release an official soundtrack alongside the release of ODST. According to Marty O'Donnell, over three hours of music were recorded for the game, so there should be plenty to listen to. O'Donnell also discussed the film noir influences in the soundtrack, as evidenced by the moody saxophone riffs heard in the first ViDoc released earlier this year.

Sold as a two disc set from Sumthing Digital, the soundtrack is available for pre-order on Amazon and should release alongside Halo 3: ODST on September 22.

"should release alongside Halo 3: ODST on September 22."

And on torrents in a few hours after this announcement.

Yea, those pirates are just dying to get their hands on the Halo 3: ODST.
It's not like any big music releases are happening tomorrow.
O wait...

SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 8th 2009 5:39PM

*ODST OST. God dammit.

jynxycat @ Sep 8th 2009 5:46PM

You mean a week before the announcement.

ps. The music in ODST is bland :|

Good thing your comment wasn't funny in the first place, or that would've been embarrassing.

iluvmyzune @ Sep 8th 2009 6:10PM

that name is a clusterfuck!

Hyams @ Sep 8th 2009 6:14PM

... says 'iluvmyzune'.

WINterfang @ Sep 8th 2009 6:46PM

What's so weird about I love my Zune?

Special Agent Steve @ Sep 8th 2009 6:50PM

Besides the fact that Microsoft ate his brain?
Nothin'

iluvmyzune @ Sep 8th 2009 7:24PM

cuz i luv my zune doesn't mean fucking microsoft ate my brain. Zunes are actually pretty decent. If you can't admit zune HD looks sweet, you fail epically!

Special Agent Steve @ Sep 8th 2009 7:27PM

But the fact that you brandish your fetish with your Zune DOES make you weird.
And yes, the Zune HD looks like what it should've been from the beginning. Are you disputing my pre-order?

Hyams @ Sep 8th 2009 7:36PM

I was actually trying to allude to the fact that 'iluvmyzune' is also a bit of a 'clusterfuck' of a name, rendering your comment 'that name is a clusterfuck!' in a new, ironic light.

Alas, it appears I failed.

SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 8th 2009 5:36PM

I see the milk but where is the cow?

Look At This Suit @ Sep 8th 2009 5:39PM

I see a troll, but where is his bridge?

Every Halo game has had a soundtrack, mostly due to the fact that Marty works magic.

SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 8th 2009 5:40PM

It doesn't take a troll to see that Halo has been milked to death.
You know what else had an OST? The Sims.

Eat me.

The Dark Wayne @ Sep 8th 2009 5:41PM

i think milk is delicious

tmacairjordan87 @ Sep 8th 2009 5:42PM

Ha the funny thing is if I had said that he'd be all over me. I agree that halo's starting to be milked, but just about every big game has a soundtrack now.

SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 8th 2009 5:44PM

Who let tmac out of his cage?

WiredKnight @ Sep 8th 2009 5:47PM

Probably someone who's tired of seeing half the comments on an article belonging to you.

Jerk Face @ Sep 8th 2009 5:52PM

Remember when Joystiq's comments used to be about video games? Thanks, you fucks.

Hyams @ Sep 8th 2009 6:14PM

What's a 'video game'?

Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 8th 2009 6:20PM

Someone please ban this troll.

Hyams @ Sep 8th 2009 6:23PM

Nah, SpyderTaco is okay. Just don't let him near tmac.

Hyams @ Sep 8th 2009 6:29PM

Unless you meant me, in which case:

=(

Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 8th 2009 6:31PM

I still love you, Hyams.

Sly Cooper, Attorney at Law @ Sep 8th 2009 8:11PM

halo is hardly being milked. 3 main games with 2 spinoffs that haven't released yet? hardly milking. people say rock band isn't being milked, and that series has more games than halo.

WiredKnight @ Sep 8th 2009 8:32PM

@Sly

You're forgetting the RTS spinoff, not to mention all the other merch (novels, etc).

maveric101 @ Sep 9th 2009 2:11AM

it's fine, because Marty is a god. the soundtrack is one of the best parts of halo games.

Hyams @ Sep 8th 2009 5:47PM

Acronyms are fun.

(Alternative comment: AAF.)

[ArchiGamer] @ Sep 8th 2009 5:51PM

ITBTAAVF.

Hyams @ Sep 8th 2009 6:13PM

What did you just call my mother?

The Dark Wayne @ Sep 8th 2009 6:20PM

IDKMYBFFJILL

Jrinswand @ Sep 8th 2009 6:21PM

Archi, when I googled "ITBTAAVF," the only thing that came up was your post. Congratulations, you have beat the mighty Google.

Hyams @ Sep 8th 2009 6:24PM

Batman, I totally read that as 'I don't know, my best friend forever Jill' which made me giggle (in a manly way, of course).
