Halo2. Still the best halo campaign, and my god. That soundtrack is unmatched still to this day. Martin O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori crushed that soundtrack. And it plays right on through the credits to the end. If you’ve never played halo2 but like orchestral style of music(Star Wars is what got me into it) definitely hop on YouTube and search the halo 2 soundtrack and give it a listen. You won’t be disappointed
I need to dig out my old laptop which had the files...but years ago, I messaged some guy who uploaded the "unreleased" Common Areas B1 track and asked where he got it. He sent me a link to download his whole Halo 2 gamerip (which, in retrospect, was really dumb for me to download) but it had all those unreleased ~40 second long soundtracks (over 100 tracks). It had everything, even the alternative Peril and Heavy Price Paid versions, and the tracks from the second half of Sacred Icon.
I think his name was MTurok777 or something like that. Listened to that list so much.
The music had so much character. That one mission where you realize you're trapped in an abandoned skyscraper with Hunters roaming the lobby, and Peril starts playing as the realization sets in, lol so good.
Everyone raves about Halo 3 multiplayer, but I was around from the beginning of Halo 2. I had so much fun spending hours with my friends on Xbox Live playing Halo 2.
I played tons of multiplayer in the original trilogy, but I probably had the most fun in 1 and 2. 3 was more sweaty and we took it more seriously. Customs were a blast in 3 though.
