*Not sure where this belongs. It involves games, but it's not really about them.*

Well, when I got home from school today , I was bored as hell , so I decided to take the music from MGS and Halo and put it together into one giant song of awesomeness. I had to change a few notes here and there to make them fit into the same key and time signatures, but I think it turned out pretty good.

It's recorded on my PSR 3000 (LOL), with half decent MIDI instruments. All the music was learned by ear (although its really easy to considering how simplistic the songs are).

You'll here in the song that it goes halo->MGS->halo->MGS. It's rather short, so give it a shot.

Stream it here:

Yes , it sucks. I've done some better original stuff. Nevertheless, comment and rate.
Note: the transition between the first two sucks, but the last transition is fine.

I love the Halo trilogy's soundtrack a lot more than Metal Gear Solid 4's music, to be honest. To be fair, I only listened to a handful of MGS music, but I still think Halo outshines it.

Both of them have powerful songs, but overall, I think I'd have to give it to Halo. I just feel a much larger scale of awesome when I hear songs like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbkQ99OxQJU

In all honesty, I can't even think of a single Halo tune that made me remember it after I was done with the game. And well, MGS is practically all the opposite.

Halo's epicness can't be matched. Although the song during the microwave sequence in MGS4 brought out the emotions in me more than any other song. I think it goes without saying that this is my opinion. too late..

Man thats a close one...but I think I have to go with mgs. I fell in love with that game before halo. Due to the fact that metal gear came out way before halo but halos theme song is outstanding and really gets you in the mood to play it. Both fanstatstic tho

Halo's music is amazing. MGS's music is the only good thing about the series IMO.

The only song I like is the "The Best is Yet to come" from the original MGS soundtrack.

I'm a big fan of Halo 3's in game soundtrack. It's probably my favorite one of all. I've heard a bit of MSG 4 while my brother was playing and the music was very dramatic and exciting at times, which reminded me of watching a blockbuster movie in theaters. But Halo's music in all 3 games it just... angelic and beautiful, and even occasionally epic. Marty O'Donnell did a really really good job with the Halo soundtracks

Halo > MSG

No he didn't. And not only is the music worse than MGS, there are far fewer compositions. But you are right, it's definitely very derivative of a Michael Bay soundtrack.

Of course, you, being fanatic about the MGS music, would slam Marty's work. That's real respectful of you. The man has done an amazing job at throwing out original tunes into the gaming industry.

No really, I am a huge fan of MGS3 and a pretty big fan of Halo 2, but I think the soundtrack for the Halo series is awful. Not bad, but awful. Although, I must confess that MGS2 had a bad soundtrack too.

Hm... that's a tough call. I really love the "Old Snake" theme in MGS4, but really love the Halo theme song as well. I'mma call it a toss up.

I agree. There's something about it that goes beyond the typical "let's enhance the mood" OSTs of decent games like Halo, Ico, and Zelda.

I never understood what was so special about any of MGS's music to be honest. The "Old Snake" theme from MGS4 is awesome, and really fit the game and stuff... but I thought the other music from the other games were kinda lame.

It's mostly from the "father and son" part of MGS4, although it has a few motifs of the theme hidden in it.

My favorite Halo piece would have to be the Siege of Madrigal. Short but very emotional.

I personally prefer the Half-Life soundtrack.

Between Halo and MGS I really can't decide because I haven't heard much of the MGS music. Though I do like the Halo soundtrack.

The original Halo has the best soundtrack in my book.

I didn't really like the MGS4 soundtrack tbh. The lengthy main theme and love theme were epic, with old snake trailing a bit behind, but thats pretty much it. I think Halo has better music overall, but I'm not talking about the games

for over all sound track through out all the games in a series, I'd say Halo has done a better job in having amazing music throughout the entire series. MGS on the other hand does have incredible music for the main title screens though. It's a real shame that it's not even an original composition though. Kind of sad when the composer had to rip off a dead classic composer.

Hard choice to make. Halo has kept a pretty consistant sty/e across the games. In 3, I reacted negatively at first, because so much sounded exactly the same as 1 and 2. But it's different, and new added tracks that are just as epic, if not more so are in 3.

MGS music has been dramatically different across the games. In 2, the focus seemed to be on some kind of techno-jazz, and in 3 it was about Bond-esque orchestral pieces. And then 4 moved in to very electronic-orchestral sounds. EDIT: actually I think it's hard to even classify it as that. there are so many different sty/es depending on the boss fights and locations.

MGS

Especially MGS3, the soundtrack to that game really made you feel like a secret agent :P

Yeah MGS by a long way me thinks. Halo's music seems to be just generic-patriotic-war-type music, whereas MGS really fits perfectly into the game, and rather than just being a background, really enhances the mood.

MGS easily, I mean "The Best is Yet to Come", "MGS 2's Main Theme", "Snake Eater's Main Theme" are up there as the best ever.
