The art style and music was much better back when bungie was around.
343i had 3 goals with Halo 4 and it was easier than scribbling.
-It has to look/sound like Halo (Failed)
-Has to feel like Halo (subjective, although most of the community think it doesn't feel like Halo)
-It has to be like a core/traditional Halo1/2/3, Halo game (Failed)
Instead they copied COD. Halo 5 better be like the traditional Halo's, 1/2/3 and not some pathetic COD clone trying to attract casuals and cod fans and ignoring the please of their own fanbase. The casuals always leave (most of the time), cod fans obviously went back to cod rather than play a shitty clone and their own community was abandoned and most of us left, you are lucky even 20k people play Halo 4 to this day. COD is popular not because it caters to casual or a mainstream game, it's because it stays the same every year. Why do you think so many people player the original 3 Halos?! Reach was still popular but not as much as originals because it still was largely traditional but not as much as the originals. Halo 4 destroyed the core and can barely hold itself together after it had a lifespan of 6 months. Halo 2/3/Reach had a lifespan of three years or more and had a higher population!
The music is much better in older games and the art style (although Reach was too grey and gritty and had too much motion blur at least it still looked like Halo).
EDIT: I made my opinion sound like fact. Didn't mean to sorry.

I honestly don't care how "Traditional" it is. I care if it feels like "Halo" to me, which Halo 4 does. (Seriously I melt every time I listen to this)

Off the rock, through the bush, nothing but Jackal

I really like the H4 soundtrack. This one's a bonus track, but I listen to it all the time. I'm weird. The original Haven is also pretty awesome. Sure it's not a Marty Masterpiece, but it's still pretty darn entertaining to listen to. Some of the dubstep bonus tracks are a bit much, but those are auxiliary to the main OST. I loved the H4 campaign. I've got several beefs with the competitive MP though. Don't get me started.

I said 'god damn'. One of, if not the, best Halo themes in the series.

Halo 3 - Choose Wisely Nothing will bring me to the reverence and nostalgia of the good days of Halo than that track. Man the memories. It sums up how great Halo was back in the day and how it's nothing like that now. Only those who actually played Halo 1-3 can really understand music like that beyond the "sounds good man". More like "Those were the days indeed, I was there and it was truly a masterpiece".

Oh hey look this thread again

OP: My subjective opinion is objective fact

Edited by Cypher Alpha: 12/5/2013 3:06:07 PMI [i]preferred[/i] the previous Halos' Art-Styles over 4's. They aren't "better". I love the Halo soundtracks composed by [i]both[/i] Neil and Marty. However, the soundtracks were not well implemented in Halo 4's Campaign. [spoiler]Opinions =/= Fact[/spoiler]

Could have used more monks in Halo 4's OST. The only time I can recall hearing them is when Installation 03 is shown, and that's very brief.

Edited by adamj004: 12/5/2013 6:30:06 PMWhat I didn't like about halo 4's music is that most of them didn't feel like musical scores that help create a scene or pieces of game play but rather just accompanied you in the background as you play (I'm not talking about the music not being loud enough I mean the style and attitude of the music). The music in Halo 4 isn't bad or anything I think a lot of it lacks variety and personality, I was listening to some of halo 4 tracks and despite them obviously being different tracks from each other I got a same feeling from them, they all seemed to give of a dark droning mood. What I did like about the older Halo music (Halo ce-3) is that they did feel like musical scores, there was plenty of variety and personality from them that made scenes and missions from the games very memorable. The different kinds of style and attitude from Halo ce-3 music was plentiful and really worked to give iconic moments and feeling towards the games and the lore. The music imo helps or in fact makes you look at the halo universe/lore in different perspectives, makes you look and think about the Halo story as a whole in different ways but at the same time when you step back and think of all the different pieces of music, their different styles and vibes all come together to create a unique and iconic feel for the Halo universe and the franchise. Here's some expamples of what I mean, here are tracks that are very different from each other but still have the same stamp on them if you know what I'm saying.

You just can't beat Marty

343 can make some great Halo music though.

Edited by A Metroid: 12/5/2013 3:46:14 PMThe music placement was awful that's all.

Halo 4 music wasn't really memorable at all... there wasn't anything remarkable about it. It's easily forgettable. That's not because it doesn't have Bungie's name slapped on it, because Halo Wars had awesome music that was memorable, remarkable, and unforgettable.
-
Another shit thread from you.
-
I'm starting to think that you're just trolling with all these threads... There is no "real" Halo music, every track composed by the various people involved in producing music for the games and other media [u]is Halo music[/u] whether you like it or not. There is no "Halo feel", it's nothing but an arbitrary label people give to illustrate how they don't like something. There is no right way for music or art to convey and employ a tone, theme or atmosphere, to even suggest that there is is completely asinine.

Hope the guy who made Spartan Assualt's music makes the new soundtrack.

Edited by SaiyanShinigami: 12/5/2013 8:27:16 AMRather you like it or not, the music from Halo 4 [b]is[/b] real Halo music.

Still making these shitty threads I see.

This song gave me goosebumps and memories. And PTSD flashbacks of Jackal snipers.
-
Oh the memories

Can you explain to me the logic of branding anybody that doesn't blindly hate halo 4 because bungie didn't make it "A Fanboy" when you love anything that bungie touched irrationally?
