The best part of the Bungie Halo games, IMO, is the soundtracks.

The Halo Legends soundtrack is pretty epic too, even though it's in dire need of a dynamic remaster.

Salvatori's still around. Interestingly enough, O'Donnel was credited in some Rise of Iron music.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

O'Donnel was part of Destiny's work, but either the company or producers fucked him over. IIRC after settling the lawsuit he got to -->

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

--> keep his contract benefits without doing any work. He can basically get paid by Bungie for doing nothing until his contract ends.

Salvatori is still there. He's credited on the Destiny Rise of Iron soundtrack. O'Donnell is working in a new game dev company.
