I'm saddened to say that Bungie's board of directors terminated me without cause on April 11, 2014.

I can't hide it. I still have a soft spot for the games I grew up with, even if I don't necessarily enjoy those types of games anymore. Halo was one from my childhood. Quite a big part, in fact. A very large part was the incredible soundtrack constructed by Martin O'Donnell.

This tweet confirms that the King of the Ivory Tower has been removed from his throne. It's a sad, unfitting end to one of the greatest musical legacies in gaming.

Reports are saying that Marty finished his work with Destiny, but nothing can confirm the official reason for his termination. Even the official statement seems to be more like mockery of the current situation.

Let's hope he can find somewhere new and exciting soon. I'll post more if anything develops.

Huh...

 

Welp there goes yet another good company making the biggest mistake ever that is sure to impact them into the ground.

 

Yes, my favorite video game is Halo. I know loads about the universe, I have all the games, AND all the soundtracks. But let's focus on just Halo 1.

 

This is the game that revolutionized FPS. Bungie made a great game, but as everyone knows, a game is nothing without music. Bungie made Halo. Marty made it FEEL like Halo. Everything from the majestic main theme as you see the super-structure for the first time, to the fast paced action theme in the last level as you race to the longsword before the Autumn explodes, and everything in between. Everything... was perfect. And having to hear the above, especially from one of my favorite composers, it hurts. That's all I can say.
