@TheMartyOdonnell I hope I can get some commentary from you on these videos sometime that would be amazing you're an icon to me - Hry
I just want another experience like this
Amen brother
Agreed
While the day time sections were fun enough what made this my favorite halo was that somber feeling of walking the empty Mombasa streets at night with that god-tier soundtrack. funny enough the only other games i can think of that provides a similar feeling are horror games when the scares take a break to give you a comforting moment in the eye of the storm. Things like the save rooms in Spencer mansion, solo matches in No More Room in Hell, ect.
I'll remember ODST sometimes when i'm doing solo runs in No More Room in Hell and songs like "City of Sorrows" fade in as you walk along these large quiet maps with only the mumbling of corpses to keep you company. Makes me wish the dev team would consider making a singleplayer focused game with a tightly sized map akin to ODST.
I didn't play ODST until years after it came out but it's still as emotionally powerful for me. It's a great psychological escape from reality.
You can try metro exodus, its kinda like that, except its a post apocaliptic universe, but its kind of the same structure, open areas and linear missions
@@deus_nsf nah bro them spiders make me shit my pants
Why is a burning city at night so calming and beautiful to look at?
The halo 3 engine was very underrated but it was an absolute marvel and black magic for the xbox 360. It was an engine about what mattered, some things didnt look very good but the lighting was a generation ahead of it's time.
ODST JUST REMINDS ME OF THE FIFTH ELEMENT, because of the city and I like it
What can I say? It was a hell of a night.
Chaos and peace are often overlooked as opposites but are mearly intertwined.
You would've loved the United States over the summer 😂
For many of us, halo universe is where we went to escape
You spittin facts homie...
Fr tho take me back to when we had a good progression system and a full release
Feet first into hell friend. We jump with our coffin.
And still do go to escape every day
And I fon't FKING blame ya. Sniff. Great community here!
A burning city, yesterday's news. I recently played through this campaign and felt the loss as we all did I'm sure. The city in rubble, reminded me of my old stomping grounds. Friends who've forgotten me or maybe I've forgotten them. Doesn't matter. I realized everything has a shelf life, even friendships. Cherish the little moments Spartans.
Hope you're doing okay friend :)
Were it so easy...
This one hit hard
In and out for a reason brother. We continue to build our roads with the memories of those no longer in our lives, for one reason or another.
@@Darren_117 *tack!* (Insta melee kills you)
I think the last time I listened to this playlist was december 2022. When I was deeply suicidal and abusing alcohol. I lost everything. But here now In January of 2024 I'm happier than I've been in a long time. It gets better bros. Keep fighting to make yourself the best you can be
I needed to hear this thank you for sharing
Do you mind if I pin this comment
@@HaloAmbienceAndMore I don't mind at all :)
Best music in halo imo
Thank you I too needed to hear this.
Knowing the ODST community is alive and well this many years after the game's release gives me hope going into 2022. Feet first into hell, boys 💪
Feet first into hell, trooper. Good luck.
TROOPERS WE ARE GREEN AND VERY VERY MEAN
Timeless gem 🎆
we fans were never gone we were just mia
Quality will always attract. That's one thing I've come to realize over time. It doesn't matter when it was made, it will always bring in its audience.
God, this mix is good as FUCK. You captured the ambience with the phantoms passing by and everything. Def using this a ton in the future.
Dang u got a top comment in weeks where others took months for this lol
AND an animated background

but you died...
if i could have one wish it would be to replay the whole halo franchise with no memory of the endings
what its the name of the character on tour avatar i forgot it
and i tried to find her with the tag satanic girl cat and i can't found it
@@elissac9545 hello fellow Spider, she’s Clair from “The Summoning”
Have fun with that information lol.
@@spiderz5145 thank you
I would love to have lived through the whole Bungie era, but being born the year halo 3 released and only being able to play halo with my cousins until 2017 certainly was an obstacle, but those memories with my cousins are one of my best, so I guess everything happens for a reason, and God wanted me to experience it with my cousins before anything else
@@spiderz5145 The cummoning
ODST and Reach are such strange companion-opposites to each other
An invasion
A burning city
Your squad
Countless dead, missing, wounded
But Reach was about buying time, an ultimate sacrifice for the greater good, watching your resources fall through your fingers like sand as you grip them tighter and tigher
ODST was about pulling what little you had close and gunning for the light at the end of the tunnel, even if the light didnt seem so bright or big.
But both were about hope. Because without hope, you don't have a fighting chance. Hope is the last one in the chamber when you thought the clip was empty. Hope is the flare being shot off into the darkness. Hope is what gives humans the ability to fight so hard for so long.
And in the end, every sacrifice meant something.
I guess Bungie made the message about hope in their final work on Halo to try and give *us* hope for the future of the series...
To celebrate this video's success I will make one like this for Reach or Halo 3 when this semester of school is done. Thumbs up if you'd like to see that 👍😀
Reach please
Is there any chance you could do one big mix for all? Like you take the best from REACH CE 2 etc. with ambience from their games and put it into one 1 - 1:30 hour-long video?
Could you make it with halo 4? I really like this ambient sounds
sound can't wait to listen to them ;)
Please never put ads on these
I wondered what Halo fans in Mombasa would have thought when "Halo 3: ODST" came out. I imagine them listening to the sountrack one dark night in 2009 or 2010, listening to this music with headphones and imagining that in any badly lit corner a Brute with a Plasma Rifle could jump at them.
it probably was something like "it´s shit, the previous one was better" , you know, the usual...
One time I was gunna spend the night at my best friends place but his parents said no last minute and my father wasn't going to come pick me back up and it was around midnight at the time and had no idea what to do or where to crash at and worst part it was raining and a bit cold, had a friend say he'd let me crash but it was a bit of a walk from where i was so while walking there i could just hear ODSTs soundtrack playing in my head the whole way there, empty streets.. Nobody around and real quiet but the rain hitting the floor, it would have been quite an awesome experience if I had some ear buds on my way there but gladly I didn't cause later some guy was following me lmao, ODST really has some of the best damn music in halo history, it just won't ever be the same...
We need another odst game
@@unholychild2117 that was the good as story shit what happened to the guy
@@AssapimasterShinikoza Thanks lol and not sure but he was hella sketchy lmao, hopefully not doing anything bad though.
I believe the Halo series has some of the best gaming music of all time. This is my personal favourite.
I should give it more of a listen, then!
Some of my favorite OSTs:
.hack
Tower of Heaven
Cuphead
Minecraft
Modnation Racers
Sonic Riders
Dark Cloud 1
Doom: Eternal
Mechassault 1
Try out Ghostrunner, Titanfall 2, and Robo Recall! All great!
@@stoomook117 and cod bo2 and bo: cold war
Yes, yes Halo has some of the best gaming music
Quite indeed!
Right now, my favorite VGOST's are (in no particular order and these are the ones I keep listening till this day)
• NieR: Replicant (OG and Ver. 1.22...)
• Halo 3 ODST, Halo 2 (OG), Halo CE (OG), Halo Reach
• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
• Hollow Knight
• Cuphead
• NeoTokyo (A Half-Life 2 mod)
• Half-Life 2: Episode 2
And maybe an OST I'd suggest with this Noir-esque style would be from the game Gunpoint.
When I get dementia I’m gonna replay this game and feel like the first time playing it each day
IQ = Einstein
To my fellow halo brothers. I love you all. I wish you all prosper in life and make it worth living. Don’t be sad because the memories have past. Be happy that they happened. Be grateful for the times that we are able to cherish as memories. All those nights playing with fellow halo lovers. And to those who are no longer with us we play for them. We play so we always have something to remember them by. Don’t worry they’re just MIA right now, because remember Spartans never die. I can’t wait to see what Halo Infinite holds for us. And I can’t wait to make even more memories with all of you. #finishthefight
This put a tear in my eye. God i wish i could go back to being a carefree kid,just living this game with friends.
yes brotha!
ODST Forever.
Cry for the last night, smile for a new day.
Feet first into hell. We jump with our coffin.
AMEN BROTHER, PREACH!!!!
Love this vid. The dark, deserted streets of New Mombasa and that moody, noir odst soundtrack.
I wondered what Halo fans in Mombasa would have thought when "Halo 3: ODST" came out. I imagine them listening to the sountrack one dark night in 2009 or 2010, listening to this music with headphones and imagining that in any badly lit corner a Brute with a Plasma Rifle could jump at them.
And suddenly a crazy ODST appears with a ghost destroying and killing everything
There's was also a Mongoose to
Amen.
I have done ODST, I have done Reach, and this year I am working on Halo 3! Always expect more to come! New angles from which to appreciate Halo's music are infinite!
This is the best comment on CZcams.
The covenant aircraft is a nice touch I gotta say
@@Shumachuma right it's iconic
gotta do all the laso runs, yes they are the hardest thing you will ever do in halo but man you will feel like a badass when done
yummy!
Bits and Pieces is so strangely uplifting and melancholy at the same time, it feels like the moment where hope leads to belief except its shrouded in despair still. I really dont know how to describe the mood but what i do know is marty o'dowell is a musical genius
Almost sad, but uplifting as you said at the same time
I have it for my alarm
even the jackel snipers are chill
Working to this everyday helps me remember better times and to always push through the fight, no matter how hard. For all my brothers out there, keep your head up and never give up.
Needed that. Thanks Spartan.
This hit different with how i been feeling lately. Thanks bro
There's something so ominous, yet calming about a city that's completely empty under a rainy night sky like this.
Kinda makes me wish New Mombasa was a real place that I could visit.
Mombasa is a real place.
@@iratepirate3896 should've known... still, I meant the futuristic new mombasa
Minus the aliens trying to murder you.
@@idkwhattoputhere.9891 yeah...
That’s how I feel about the halo series as a whole, so many places you’d love to visit in real life

@redbandit11 f yourself with the barril - Grunt Minor
Hang on to your helmet.
Still holding out hope for a true stealth ODST 2. I want to play as the Rookie again in a semi open world city. No character switching. Just wandering the streets trying to regroup with your team. Lonely, scary, and incredibly atmospheric like the original game.
They might actually release a halo spin off game after halo infinite
I get what you’re saying, but the Rookie from ODST is dead and his squad split up. There could totally be a spin-off with another ODST squad tho.
It is interesting because althrough the rookie died in the novel halo bad blood (which I recomend if you want to have a spiritual sequel to odsts story) and his dead made alpha 9 split we are actually hinted that whats left of alpha 9 may reunite. It is only a theory tho and alpha 9 are not odsts any ore so we probable are not getting Another halo odst
So like a reboot kinda of like Modern Warfare 2019?
@@coolnormalandwelladjusted yeah, they totally could have gone somewhere with alpha nine, too had buck is the only one really still active and in content
Wish it was much more rainy in the game, the rain is almost non-existent. I really hope we can get a ODST Anniversary.
Sorry for the necropost, but what could you even add to ODST anniversary? It's already in a state where it looks like a modern-ish game.
@@revolutionstudios5052 easy. Add more rain effects to add a shine to surfaces when hit by a light, imagine a phantom passing overhead and you being able to track the searchlight. And of course, have Blur do the cutscenes. Could also add a few maps for firefight so we don't have recycled campaign ones.
They mentioned that in the making of halo odst saying something that they had to tone it back a bit if I remember correctly
@@Cloudcity20 Tone it back why?
@Aubrey Jarvis Yeah, I believe the engine couldn't handle better rain effects very well, so they had to make due.

when making a video game actually meant something...
Right and now... Content in video games is disposable like paper plates and forks
Last game that had meaning was Red Dead Redemption 2, but even that isn’t compared to any of the halo games.
Even ODST was the beginning of the end. They sold it at 60 bucks and convinced people it was worth it because you got the Halo 3 multiplayer as well (which anyone who is buying ODST already has Halo 3, I mean come on.) So that was kind of bullshit, but the game still rocks though.
@@Oxideist yeah but that was more Microsoft's fault than anything. Most of the time the devs just wanna deliver a quality product but always get hindered by the publishers.
Just came here from Minecraft's poem and some songs.
4:15 Damn that sax hits.
The best piano Sax duo I've ever heard.

Makes me wish the dev team would consider making a singleplayer focused game with a tightly sized map akin to ODST.
This halo was by the far the most hypnotic and emotional and dark. Being lost, alone in a city at night with rain... not knowing where to go... that's an experience unlike the other halo games
This one was deliberately art
Ok who disliked this, I just wanna talk..
😆
It was so gud that I disliked it man soz
What can I say, it was a hell of a night.
those 5 people let's have a chat!
Probably time travelers from when the game first launched
“What can I say? Was a hell of a night”
“Take my advice rookie, if you ever fall for a woman? … make sure she has balls.”
Perfect study music, man ODST had such a good soundtrack. Although anyone hear someone talk at 37:20? Haha
I've played Mombasa Streets enough to know for sure that was a grunt hoping you get Fist of Rukt for Christmas haha!
Rukt Fist, Fist of Rukt, Merry Christmas.
"You know the music, time to dance." -Edward Buck~
@Aubrey Jarvis Indeed
Something about Halo has always captured the horrifying yet beautiful magic of a war zone. It’s filled with death yet every little wall and corner feels serene and exiting.
Maybe it’s because you can appreciate the little things when your stressed or exhausted, who knows.
I want to feel good again
It will happen friend.
All emotions come and pass, fighting against them will only make them stain you. Let yourself feel what comes to you and happiness will come
I’m spending the 2020 holiday going thru halo 1 to 5 everything in between and listening to this on my headphones while my wife watches tv 😂
How I’ve been waiting so long for someone to do this thank you man it’s beautiful!
I've been wanting to do it for months especially since they have ones like this for the Elder Scrolls so at Halo's sandbox-type game I had to take advantage
The sounds of ditch weed, cigarettes and coffee with a close friend. Where Halo 1&2 brought the big party vibes with lan parties, pizza and beer, this was a more personal experience.
Pretty shitty part of my life where I lost a close friend before H3 released. Huge Halo fan that always dreaded that Halo 2 didn't include the E3 level of fighting inside the city.
In some weird way, I felt his presence guiding me through the cold haunted streets of this desolate city. The city he would've wished to fight in along side with me. Never in my young teenage life did I have a theme capture a state of emotion quite like Marty did with this. It didn't help that I lived in Seattle either. Rained every single day during my first campaign.
Rest easy Jim.
1:48 *Spirited Away flashbacks intensify*
I know right the One Summers Day song
goated video, hard to imagine this city is literally being overran by covenant atm
I was a kid when I beat this. I’m 23 now. Thank you for this
ODST should be revisited always
The effort you put in to specifically cut out the most ambient and atmospheric pieces is amazing, I’ve been listening to odst music for over a decade and I’ve never heard a mix as good as this
u will never grow up to be loved
@@bruceguzman8726 I’m married, good luck finding someone who loves you like that
That comeback was a fatality
@@FaDeMicroLMAO, that was a quickdraw.
33:48 is my favorite part because just the jazz makes the setting and the feeling of the city feel melancholic
God. . This game is absolutely perfect. . The soundtrack. . The story. . The rain hitting the empty streets. . 11/10. Almost brings back memories of adult swim and seeing cowboy bebop on at 2 am. .
On a rainy day this was recommended for me
This music mix got me through Covid.
Just laying in bed half dead, deliriously imagining being a sole ODST trying to make it through the streets of Mombasa
Thank you so much for this mix...
Was it worth it? You're still forced to wear the goddamn mask by our tyrannical government that needs to be abolished.
Me playing this game on a rainy night with my family asleep, this game is a really good thing for calming myself down when I'm depressed, about 4 months ago was probably when I needed this game the most because I had a lot of depressing things happening back then. ODST helped me forget about it and get in the game. Feet first into hell marines. Good luck 🙂
I don't think any of these world makers realized the refuge they were making for all of us
And 1 month straight playing odst, I don't know but I feel like life has been a lot easier on me. I'm solving some things that I have been struggling to get through in this past few months. I listen to this soundtrack every night on the weekends. It is like a remedy for any emotional pain. Thank you 😊
@@HaloAmbienceAndMorebut seriously thank you
@@thunderbit7747 you know it man that’s why I make these 🙏
@@HaloAmbienceAndMore what can I say? Was a hell of a night 😊
when I hear this music, I feel a deep emotional tie to my past. Its just so nostalgic and I just wanna cry. Like a long lost soul I yearn to be whole again.
Exactly bro, I remember I was walking listening to this music in 2013 and still remember it vividly
Maybe you dont wish to be whole again, but you really wish that you could live the same emotions you felt around the time of playing and listening to this game. Wether it be the game provided relief in hardship or stressful times or it was add on to an incredibly easy and joyful part of life. Either way you are whole but you yearn for the sane relief and happiness this once provided. Our minds work in mysterious ways so all you can do now is listen to the music and play the game and smile, contempt with what you had.
What a masterpiece of a game
I hate how the other week i read some comment sections just roasting halo 3 odst and it made me sad. This had such amazing music and an incredible story. The way it was all put together ill never forget.
Yeah, people be hating on ODST, but it’s a good game. Sure halo 3 might have mp and a more exciting campaign but ODST has something about it that’s great
I love mostly everything except the price
A tad late to the party, but I've recently played through the whole halo mainline games (except guardians)
ODST has been a blast, genuinely struck me right into the heart. Even more than reach tbh. I was just taken by the ambience of the city at night and I've yet to return 1 month after clearing Infinite
Truly a wonderful series and ODST was, imo, its peak
This is still my favorite Halo campaign. Not just magnificent atmosphere, but the audio logs provided great world-building, too. It was cool of Bungie to take a break from having Halo be a Space Opera and, instead, have it be a noir detective story set in a futuristic city.
Every time I try to explain why ODST is my favorite Halo game, I struggle. This video makes it entirely clear to me why I love this game that was once destined to just be DLC.
@@GunsAndAmmo3 “was once destined to be”
ODST's music has always been beautiful, I love it so. That melancholy just cannot be supplanted
When I listen to the ODST soundtrack I get memories of playing it with friends. But those are not my memories as I was without friends. Maybe it was the characters, the first time I actually cared for characters and felt a part of the game. ODST was unique. In a universe where you usually play as a super soldier, ODST has you playing a normal human with shit luck but luck wasn't needed for his survival.
We are all brothers in arms here, different lives, yet friends united through ODST. Never stop looking for your lost comrades. Hit us up if you ever need a friend. ;)
A little shot from 2024, 2:19am January 1st as of posting! Still sleeping and working to this almost daily for as long as this has been out, along with the 10 hour version, quite simply the best thing to listen to whilst trying to relax. Thank you!
ODST will always be there for us, I love that it's part of your new years 🎉
This game shaped an entire generation of young minds. Thank you, Marty. This shared experience is ours forever.
My brother and I used to listen to the ODST osts, while walking around our city in FL at night during the rain in our armor, closest thing to actually being there. This takes me back
Nice video, can't wait until its on PC.
(Update, its on PC now and I'm enjoying it.)
update: 343 didn't fail to bring it to pc
Marty's music truly gives me goosebumps when I listen to it. Goes to show how atmospheric the halo games truly were
Happy birthday, Halo 3 ODST! One of the most special games for me. I will never forget this game.
One of the best in the franchise!
ODST has such an aura, a presence... the feeling walking through the dark streets and having this theme play in the background is truly unmatched
then i sat there in my bed in 2023 thinking about the old days of odst i can hear the joy the and the fun i was as a kid playing that game my brother telling me to hop on and play and the laughter and everything it was a good time , today it feels like it was yesterday and it well happen i wish i cna just play a another last game with my brothers before my older brother goes to collage
My friend and I played this co op in 2011, this game became my favorite. I used to buy all of those Halo mega blocks even though I never owned an Xbox. We would play for 5 hours a day. Miss you bro.
Ah god the mega bloks. I had one of every ODST figure except for 2 or 3. Money well spent.
ODST has the best soundtrack, memorable characters, great campaign, awesome firefight and I loved the experience of sneaking around a rainy city in the middle of the night avoiding covenant. It's my personal favourite out of the other games within the franchise.
Long time halo fan who has never played halo odst.. I feel privileged that I still get to play a bungie halo game for the first time
this game tought me how to be a hero, both with social values and understanding between good and bad and actually seeing these "ODSTS or Spartans" as warriors doing a good. Thank you for making my childhood and keeping us on the straighten arrow
This feels really strange. Like not just the music, but the knowing that we all share similar experiences and memories with this game and it's environment. Such a good mix.
the emotions this envokes are like that of a past life.
This is bitter sweet
@@HaloAmbienceAndMore very much so.
future life?
What can I say? It’s been one hell of a night.
13:50 there’s just something so nostalgic about the phantom flying by in the rain in a burning city.
The phantoms were there to hunt you but it's comforting to hear its noise
Man I can’t get these out of my head, being 13 and gaming out on ODST was such a vibe I can never hope to get back one more time, ugh kinda wanna hit the rewind
On life
Asphalt and ablution: still grounded and difference for darkness hit different for some reason
Me and the boys vibing
Facts
Idk why but I always loved abandoned scenes, real life, in videogames. Half-Life 2 gives such a vibe, the ambience and the world, it is empty but feels full of life. Love this
I WANT TO REWIND TIME BACKK TO THE DAYS I WOULD PLAY HALO 3 ODST AFTER SCHOOL 😞
Right 😢
Halo 3 ODST was the one Halo game that released on the Xbox 360, that I never owned. I had a friend on Reach from about 9 years ago, who was a huge ODST fan. When he played Halo 3 with me for the first time he was pointing out all the ODST references, such as seeing a sign for Mombasa in Tsavo Highway.
It wasn't until 2017 when I got the MCC that I was able to play this game. While others have huge nostalgia for playing it as a kid, I was a little older at the time and can't say the same. However, the game still slaps and is one of my favourites ever.
Me too I didn't play until the MCC but I'll still vouch for it just like all those who played in 2009
Nothing beats listening to ODST music during a thunderstorm
i grew up with an original xbox and halo CE, that was the only halo i had access to. im in my 20's now and just last year i played almost every halo campaign from CE again, 2, 3, ODST and Reach. Reach was easily by far my favorite plot, probably because of childhood nostalgia getting the loose ends tied and seeing how a story from my childhood started, but ODST....man....the atmosphere, music, that feeling of hopelessness being of just being a new recruit in an alien war, in in alien city seemingly at the tailend of its tailend of its siege after the most badass soldier comes and goes through it having been that soldier in a previous game literally hours before loading this game, its really unmatched imo. I am surprised that no other game series has adapted this type of game to their franchises, where instead of being the main character, you play as a pretty basic soldier on the sidelines just to see the scope of how your story has accumulated thus far, really sets the scope of how grand Chiefs actions have been by walking around this city and seeing the destruction, attempting to reconvene with your team, and the end of this game. I'd love to see Bungie adapt this kind of idea for a game for a side destiny game, where we explore the collapse or the battle of twilight gap through someone elses eyes to see the after math and how it leads to the current world.
ODST + Reach + CE = 🖤
Nothing like the sweet sounds of childhood.
I will never feel the way I felt when I played this game again.
It's a tragedy isn't it
It truly was a night to remember
Playing through ODST in 2022 was mind-blowing. The scope of the backdrops in this game, the level architecture, the aesthetics of the city. but what kept me up playing it was Marty's score and the stories being told.
I feel like I missed something so big, growing up without playing these games. The fans never went away though, and that right there is called hope. I'm happy to be a part of this community, tbags and all.
old times of halo 3 odst my heart is.....wow
I love listening to this every night I go to bed. Thank you for making this❤
I wish we could really escape into New Mombasa but alas this will have to do
I really believe it was the music that made this game for me.
this game was so much fun to me i really enjoyed it growing up, such a sleeper
They don't make them like this anymore. How sad.
I never played ODST. I was a PC player and I could only play CE and 2. But this music is AMAZING. So deep and pure.
Halo 2 is my fave ever. Love ODST tho
Feels strange, sad but calm, how a beatiful city, now ravaged by aliens is waiting to be erased, waiting for its doom, the sax effect makes me even more sad but calmed
Whoever thought to add this jazz feeling to a halo ost was a good idea... I love you.
I’ll always appreciate how immersive this game was. Wandering the streets of Mombasa at night, trying to find your team while this music plays and the rain falls all around you was something else. You really feel like just another soldier trying to survive and follow orders in a massive conflict that you pale in comparison to and it was a nice perspective change from being the Chief just soloing the entire covenant. (Not that doing that isn’t awesome too)
Most fun Campaign imo, music, ambience, emotion, story, setting were all amazing
I just want to tell you jon, this pose of yours is by far the best CZcams video I have ever listened to, It not only has helped me sleep at night, but it helped me push away whatever bad feelings I was going through and just relax and listen to this masterpiece of a soundtrack. Thank you, from all of us
To me, the ODST experience/music is one of the most powerful out there, for it to be impacting other people the way it impacts me is a gift, rock on man
That phantom flying by there’s just something so intimidating and ominous about it
I was skating with my friends at 11pm with odst songs in my head. Never felt more at peace
I didn't really think much of this game back when I was a kid but as I grew older I came to see how great it was.
I got this game the same night a traumatic event happened. It was a gift from my mother to help distract myself from what was happening in the real world. I'll never forget that night.
The music always makes me remember that time, bittersweet as it may be. Thank you Halo 3: ODST.
