*Steve Vai does a line of coke 100miles long smashes into the recording studio without being asked in and just started shredding**
343 stands there bewildered as other instruments start playing from seemingly no where

[legendarymasterchief]

Steve Vai, 2004: _”Wanna hear me shred this track?”_

Steve Vai, 2014: *”Wanna see me do it even better this time?”*

[lololol]

If metal could kill, Steve Vai would have toppled covenant fleets with nothing but his guitar

[LateNightHalo]

Absolutely love this! It adds an "open battlefield" vibe to the original,  

Like you can almost picture the Guitar itself echoing throughout the canyons as the Covenant and Flood battle each other!

"The parasite have taken control of our vehicles? No matter, they will die all the same!"
- Random Badass Spec Ops Elite

[chopskie]

"We shall cut into the heart of this infestation, retrieve the icon, and burn any flood standing in our way!"

[xboxgamerJ]

Tartarus... I always called him by many names. Retartarus, Tartarsauce, Pop Tartarus, etc.

[willowquinn]

"Master chief, mind telling me what you're doing with that guitar?"
"Sir, absolutely shredding."

[CheeseKing]

I remember hearing this for the first time in game. Shit got real.

[sc-evui]

Dear god this on Legendary, was... was...



Painful

[MaybiTzme]

This song + floods + machines + arbiter + legendary = Halo

[aintthatjusttragic]

When I first heard this song in halo 2 I felt like an unstoppable badass

[armorhide]

Little known fact: This song was used during the final process of the SPARTAN-II Augmentation Procedures. The intent was to infuse the subjects with badass. It was deemed too dangerous and so was not used for the SPARTAN-III and SPARTAN-IV Project. Perhaps this is why the SPARTAN-II Commandos were so effective in comparison

[johnmorgan]

One of the best things with Halo 2 Anniversary, besides the graphics is the heavy metal soundrack. I wish that they have put some heavy metal soundtrack like this one in Halo 3.

[werock]

Halo 2 was the best halo, who agrees?

[SMheatstroke]

I love that new riff he adds at 00:55 .

[atlasx]

1:47 to 1:55 is beautiful.







Wait, what am I saying, THE ENTIRE SONG IS BEAUTIFUL.

[NFrk]

"Commander. We found a human vehicle!"

"Keep going, I am on my way."

The fact that Delta Halo had been severely compromised by the Flood, so retrieving the Index was an Arbiter mission with Spec-ops support and yet the marines of In Amber Clad (a frigate btw) didn't hesitate to fight their way into the Library regardless is unspoken badassery.

They didn't even have Chief for support since they lost contact with him by that point and they still kept fighting.

[slicer]

So glad they brought Steve back for the remasters

Shipmaster! The brutes outnumber us, 3 to 1! What shall we do?
