What they NEED to do is hire Bungie lol. Been a die hard player since before XBL was even a THING, and while I thought the games was decent, Halo 4 didn't feel like Halo. They went way too far with MP (load outs? This isn't COD) and the music was AWFUL. Seriously. Outside of MP being unHalo like, the game misses O'Donnell's score A LOT. I never realized just how important his music was to the feel of that franchise until he was gone.

I agree that they casualized Halo 4 too much by copying CoD, but I don't think the music was horrible, it wasn't as good as Marty's iconic Halo music, but it was good in it's own way. I do feel like 343 needs to license some of Marty's most iconic Halo songs though, and mix them in with some Neil Davidge originals.

Maybe I was being a little harsh when I said awful, but I am a composer myself and I was totally let down by the score. I booted up Halo 3 not long ago, and let the main theme play out and there is a section in that score where you can hear this very sorrowful piano come in, and it's absolutely beautiful. Marty, imo, is the John Williams of video games. He's in the elite class of about a handful of composers working in the industry and probably the only non Japanese composer I enjoy.
