'The Rookie' has carefully placed piano lines among the strings that provide that 'lost in the city' feel and its ambiance later in the track with strange otherworldly guitar expressions.
'Overture' presents a new theme for ODST and quickly sets the theme for the whole soundtrack � lost and lonely. This freshness is immediately established by the artists adding in a saxophone � an instrument never before used in Halo music. Other than that, listeners are getting fresh new Halo music. There are none except in 'Finale', which takes an excerpt from 'Halo Reborn' in the Halo 3 soundtrack and reminds us that this is still a tie-in between Halo 2 and 3. Bodyīeing that this is still considered 'Halo 3,' I really thought there was going to be many musical instances that referred to Halo 3. Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori drop a fresh bomb for this games music. What actually makes this game feel different without making it feel like a whole new game is the music. Gameplay wise, not much has changed � same graphics, same type of gameplay with minor tweaks, and the same sound effects. Halo 3: ODST is an expansion of Halo 3 based around an event that occurred in Halo 2 in New Mombasa.
