that's legitimately a good story.

Something’s not right, the fleet that destroyed Reach was 50 times this size

[LateNightHalo]

Man I miss when halo had memorable and iconic music. I miss Marty :(

[ThePortaJohn]

The one long hair sticking out on the left side of Marty O'Donnell's neck is freaking me out and I can't stop staring.

This reminded me of a time when Bungie wasn't filled with greed and made actual good games. Not trying to screw over one of the people that helped make Halo so iconic.

The reason people often get these great ideas when they're in the shower or driving is because they've been thinking about a solution prior, and than that part of their brain quietly works in the background . That's why if you've ever had an answer appear after you wake up it's from that subconscious part of the brain. I'm sure there's someone that can explain it 100 times better.

I listen to the Bungie Halo soundtracks in my car still to this day.

[Yadudeboibro]

Halo 3 ODST OST is one of his greatest works hands down.

So you’re telling me...that the gamer national anthem was created within a car. The exact same song which has been inspiring me for my entire life was created in a car. *n e a t*

[PulaskiSkater]

After 15 years of Halo:C.E., I still get goose bumps when I hear the original theme.

[dantheswampman]

[Jetsudo]

There's a hair on Marty O'Donnell's neck that I can't stop looking at!
