Does anyone see any difference on the chief in the art compared to Halo 4? I don't see any but maybe you guys might.
Using word of mouth for your own released leaks is clearly an effective strategy.

Doubt it. There is a design in the visor always so maybe someone got confused.

Was illustrating why I was not available to be one of the 343 marines.
Or, I just need to adjust my meds again. The part about me being fired was true fact though. I believe they got sick of me showing up for IT strategy meetings with my replica WWE championship belt telling them I was the best in the world. People are just to serious these days.

its the same design maybe less bulky but still the same, the new spartan in other hand have a updated yet different Halo 4 armor design more like integrated armor instead of pieces floating around him.

You forgot the hazop and mark IV Titanfall dudes
Good way to justify space zombies turning up in the game.

New Spartan is wearing a titanium mankini.
At first blush, I think you have the style down pat. Good choice of instruments and good pace to the music. Having those string notes hold for ~40 seconds is ballsy, and I gotta say it didn't work for me. The notes got on my nerves before they changed. Maybe that's just a problem with the dynamic or octave, I'm not sure. Overall I felt the song could use a little more movement to it, but I definitely heard the 'Halo' in it immediately (which is a big accomplishment!). The little swell at 1min is great. Keep it up yo
I think your link is borked, it kept sending me to my personal soundcloud until I deleted the # in there. FTFY in the quote!

Thanks for the feedback! I wasn't exactly sure what to do with the strings, i was messing with the different settings, and it went from being too far in the background to up in your grill. I definitely strived to get that "Halo" feel in it, so I'm glad it came across to you
Fixed now in the OP.

Gonna play Halo 4 if anybody needs to Halo while they freak out about Halo.
Just played my first game of Halo 4 in what must be more than 6 months. Legendary Slayer BRs on Haven? WOW! Where was that at launch? I'll take more of that please.
No armor abilities, loadouts, killstreaks, and I felt myself reverting to a Halo 3 competitive mindset. And the BR feels great at 4 shots, good stuff.

Loved it. Some minor criticism but overall was great. It has a sad, darker sort of In Amber Clad fibe to it, yet also reminds me of some of 4s music.
It fits Halo.

This is really good. I like it a lot. Reminds me of Halo 4 mixed with Halo 2 stuff. Good job!

So any guesses on where this is? Looks old to me. The "Planet" has 2 suns. Tattooine? Architecture doesn't scream any particular species in Halo to me, but reminds me of Indo-Islamic architecture - maybe a bit reminiscent of Covenant with the bulbousness of it all like High Charity. The Brutes used red flags in Halo 2, but I'm not sure if that is their symbol or anything. Also, on the right side in the distance by the rock pillar, it looks like a giant statue of something. And there are flying sperms in the sky.
Reminds me a bit of Doisac from Halo Legends (Brute homeworld)

I will buy Halo collection day 1. If that is true (still don't believe it), then Microsoft are really going all out with Halo now.

Nooooo! I'm literally in the middle of writing piece inspired by the new cover art called "Guardians"... I'm using all my own themes so it's still all original... but still.
What is that piano that you used from? I wish it had a warmer, darker sound in the lower range. It sounds kind of hollow down low. Also, I'd lower the beeps and boops. They're almost painfully high. Other than that though, good melodies and harmonies. Could be very beautiful if played on a better sounding piano.

Yeah, that's what I get for using the standard FL piano samples lol. In fact, everything you hear is just the default samples and VSTs, I just tweaked the fuck out of the settings. Looking back, I would've moved down the electronics down an octave, I might remaster this and re-release it, if i get bored.
I have found out over the course of time that my weakness is mastering, which is something I'll definitely try to work on in the future.

Didn't even consider Sanghelios. Trinary system, reddish planet. The architecture just really threw me off. Makes sense though.

The problem with that is, unless you have really good vox samples or a Gregorian men's choir on hand, there's not really many ways you can have a full out monk-chant. That being said, I do have a few ideas in mind.
I'm already really excited about the scope of the next game, visiting Sanghelios, that Mos Eisley planet or whatever, as well as maybe the Ark? In the past we've only gotten to visit 1, maybe two different locations each game, i wonder if they're going to go in a hybrid sort of campaign fashion, have a semi-open world where you play as unnamed ONI dude, trying to track down the Chief, and then it switches over to Chief, trying to find a way to bring back Cortana or something.

The planet has two moons like Sanghelios.
It might just be in a different keep on the planet, hence the different architecture.

it makes sense that sanghelios would have a desert type climate

You need to introduce some rhythm, however faint (doesn't need to be consistent but rhythmic phrases outside of the melody to indicate movement -- with maybe some cleft bass accents, or reverb harp strings or e-bass in a very low octave -- think something like H1 AoTCR indoor areas. You don't need to change the key or lower the octaves of the midi inflections, instead gate the noise threshold so it's not blowing your ears out when it hits that high of a registry. You should check out Reaper if you haven't already as an alternative to FLStudio. You can patch in really nice things and VST's from Ableton, ProTools, Logic, etc. Can't skimp on piano samples.
I enjoyed the outtro to the more familiar melody, it's a nice touch. Add more layers!

Yep, and I think we can see that same statue on the upper right side of the viz ID image:

For whatever reasons (I think I kinda got a little bored of gaming) I never bothered to open my Halo 4 limited edition and play the damn game but goddamn all the news of Halo remakes has kicked my hype glands into overdrive. Time to brush off a couple of years of dust from the box and finally play this bad boy.
Wish me luck guys.
