"The Three Gates" music on the level "The Covenant" when you use a Hornet to get to the last shield tower is my personal favorite.

If you compare mission halo and avalanche the buildings look the same and plaus like mission halo avalanche has snow. Yes i agree with desert rat.

Jason your right, music does have a huge effect on what an encounter becomes, and how it is played. Imagine, if you will, that the Arbiter's chamber fight (which played Blow me Away) had slow music in the backround. That would completely change the way the fight was taken. Blow Me Away, Greasea, is the most popular song for HMV's. Another thing:has anybody noticed that the Halo levels buildings have a similar setting and design to Valhalla?

I agree with Wakashi, the music adds so much to the actual gameplay that it can affect it, like the music in H2 when fighting in the Arbiter's chamber: "Blow Me Away". Arguably the favourite piece for gameplay montages, etc. You’re right Jason, H:CE revolved around the campagin and the “re-play factor”, I still play H:CE and every time its different.

I'm currently in college studying game design. I'd like to be a level designer and the kind of things you describe here seem to be my holy grails of level design. Many thanks for the articles.

Like in Halo 3 when fighting Spark the music makes it seem like youdon't have much time, just like the Sargent said. Iagree with Wakashi, I think the music really influences the game.

I still remember to this day every emotion that I felt: the power of first entering the Scorpion tank; helpless terror in "343 Guilty Spark" - and that was you met the Flood; the horrible absense of Cortana's usual chatter in the same level; and awe at simply being part of an epic story. Its a shame really that Bungie were able to release the perfect Halo game first, sorta left them with the impossible task of making anything better.

It's great for experimentation and co-op, but when alone my first and foremost duty is: Save the Marines. But on this level, it's nearly impossible to go without a single casualty. It just makes me sad. Yeah, I agree with this article mostly, but at the risk of flamebaiting, I have to say I did not care for Assault on the Control Room.

But another thing that adds to the mood and even puts more life into the various enviroments is the accurately-themed soundracks that go with them. One of my favorite Halo:CE enounters is when you're playing on the level "343 Guilty Spark", and you're going down that huge elevator with all that Covenant blood and gore on the wall and then you start hearing that terrifying music as you go down and start looking around to see what the tone of the music is leading you to.
