If you liked the soundtracks from Halo 1 and Halo 2... 
2008-08-20
Don't waste your money on the soundtrack for Halo 3. All the good stuff is on the first two soundtracks. There's nothing here that makes me want to play a track over and over and over like "Brothers in Arms" from Halo 1 or "Unyielding" from Halo 2.
Halo 3 is a remix of the good parts of the first two and a lot of it sounds like its done with a synthesizer; makes for good filler.
There doesn't seem to be a connection between the tracks of this soundtrack and the game (which I really like); just random bits of different tracks all strung together. For example, when I hear the track "Lament for Private Jenkins", I can picture the Master Chief catching Jenkins body when it falls thru the door. Nothing like that here.
This soundtrack is good for background music just to have something playing.
To say I'm disappointed with this product doesn't do justice to the word "disappointed".
New life in old melodies 
2008-08-16
You know music is great if it gives you goosebumps and chills down your spine. That's what happened to me when I listened to the Ending suites. Marty and Mikey did a fantastic job polishing and rearanging old and new music for this, the final game in the Halo trilogy.
Let's not forget the packaging either. The two disc case has the classic look of the previous releases yet with a bit of a darker feel. The Arbiter and Master Chief adorn the first disc and The Chief and Cortana adorn the second disc, both discs featuring the characters in a dull shadowy color to keep with the dark mood.
In short, there isn't much here that I don't like. I highly recomend.
You: OOH! I know that! Disc 1 track 12! 2008-05-31
The above title describes what you say while playing the game after listening to this CD. Pretty soon you'll be freaking out your buddies by mock conducting it and saying dun dun da-da-da-daaa dun to the tune. Besides that, the music is awesome! Great orchestral music in a great FPS (First Person Shooter for you non-gamers) If you're thinking "Video game music? There's a CD for that now?" You are the biggest n00b in history.
Very Satisfied 2008-05-03
Not only are the CDs everything I was hoping for and more, I got a good deal for them. Plus they were shipped and received promptly.
Halo 3 CD 
2008-04-07
The two cd set is great! It is literally the game soundtrack.
I only gave it four stars instead of five because none on the songs
have lyrics like the Halo 2 Soundtrack. Otherwise, the music is really
excellent!
Halo 3 Soundtrack 2008-02-27
From the most successful entertainment launch in history, comes the most anticipated video game soundtrack of the holiday season. Bungie created a new variation on the Game's musical themes this time around. Martin O'Donnell, Bungie's composer incorporated a full live orchestra and chorus which goes "above and beyond" what they've done in the past. Album produced by Nile Rodgers.
Great, Ambient Soundtrack 2008-02-27
Halo 3's soundtrack is definitely the most epic of the trilogy. While the music steadily built from this single, title screen Gregorian chant-like, ethereal choir from the first game, the final game's music just added to this with even MORE orchestral score and dramatic finished. Add to that the smooth, almost tribal ambient music and sounds that play throughout the game, and you have a rather emotional experience on a CD. I loved the music while playing the game, and it was just as great without actually playing (almost).
Awesome Driving Music, Halo 3 2008-02-25
Halo 3 Original Soundtrack (2-CD Set)
I own ALL of the Halo soundtracks and they live on my Zune and in my 6-disc in-dash CD changer. The whole family loves this music and can relax on long or short rides to shop, work, school, or play. I rate this almost as high as any John Williams music but instead of feeling like you're hangin' out with Luke and Darth Vader, Harry Potter, ET or the Dino's, you're riding along with Master Chief, Johnson, the Arbiter and Cortana.
Get it, you won't regret it.

Halo: Original Soundtrack
Awesome Soundtrack... and I've never played the Halo series 2008-02-24
That's right. Halo 1, 2, 3, I've never played. I picked this soundtrack up on a whim at WalMart and I haven't regretted it.
Even in the softer pieces, there's an energy that just doesn't quit it. It's a soundtrack for your own day-to-day life which isn't far from tactical combat.
This is the soundtrack of a company of soldiers in a grueling campaign trying to hit hard while conserving strength. I think all of us can relate.
A little bad, A lot good. 2008-02-19
The Halo 3 soundtrack was an amazing 2 Disc set that did recapture the game. The few bad parts of the set was that Martin O'Donnell redid a little too much and didn't add enough original work. And he also didn't include one track from the game that appears on the final stage Halo when walking up the ramps to where Guilty Spark opens the door. I was pretty angry because I loved that track but other than that, the music included on the CD's was outstanding and definitely captured my attention.
