I’m thinking no, but in reality I wouldn’t mind it making at least a cameo. It doesn’t have to be the whole theme, maybe just a small portion. With this being a new trilogy and new developers, I really want a lot of NEW in the game. Halo has relied TOO much on the nostalgia of it’s past titles to the point where some of the rehashed maps have become boring.
I want to see what 343 can do with Halo and not what it can rehash from previous titles. That’s not to say I do not want anything from previous games. I just don’t want them to take a noticeable percentage of the game. Some remade maps okay,but from Halo 3 as we’ve had plenty from CE and Halo2 now remade.
The music, while iconic needs to move forward as well. I really like what I’ve heard from the Neil (the new musical director). It would be a shame to drown out his creativity in place of the previous standard. This is by no means a knock on Marty. His music set the tone for the original trilogy and spin-offs and it was grand to be sure. It’s just time for something new and refreshing and that is what Neil represents.
