Halo 5: Guardians Wishlist - 10 Things Fans Demand

10. A Return To The Game's Classic Soundtrack

Soundtracks can make or break a game: a stirring and powerful score can heighten the experience while uninspired music dampens the scene and squanders its potential. There's a reason Halo's music is so highly regarded: it's awesome. But, take a listen to some of Halo's early soundtracks and compare it to the most recent offering. Neil Davinge's sound was a bit too electronic and missed the epic sound that Marty O'Donnell's score had in abundance. If 343 Industries wants to evoke the same feelings of scale and drama that Bonnie Ross wants players to enjoy in Halo 5, they should go back to the iconic orchestral soundtrack that defined Halo 3. After all, the Halo series has so much going on and there are literally world-engulfing wars going on. It needs to re-establish that cinematic sound that makes these battles extremely powerful and fun to play.
