Halo anniversary
In honor of 10th anniversary of the brand Halo Microsoft will release not only a special version of the game, but also the soundtrack.
We have already mentioned as much as 3 companies are involved in a remake of a canonical Halo: Combat Evolved. In addition to differences in the graphics, for which is responsible new engine (it is, incidentally, will allow immediately to switch to the classic rendering of 2001), there was recorded a new soundtrack.
The guys from 343 Studios (the main developer of the game, a branch studio of Microsoft) did not disturb Michael Salvatori and Marty O&39;Donnell and recorded a new version of the soundtrack on its own. As in the case with graphics, music just needed to be peen, cleaned here and there, as well as improved sound quality.
Arrangement of the soundtrack was engaged 4 people. The semi-god of the instrumental, arrangment and orchestration, Lenny Moore has certainly made common alteration of the score. Paul Lipson, whose work list includes such games as Bioshock 2, MAG, Infamous 2 (his roles ranged from the head of the audio to the composer), we think was the audio producer. A well-known electronics Tom Salta probably throw gloss for soundtrack, and instrumentalist Brian Trifon, whose sensual guitar performance could be heard in the Assassin&39;s Creed II, engaged in acoustic and electronic.
Very interesting composer staff. Symphonic canvas was written by the famous orchestra The Skywalker Symphony Orchestra, the Chanticleer Vocal Ensemble choir performed the singing.
At 2001 the soundtrack has done considerable noise, receiving many awards, but the main theme, combining symphonic music with bright folk, became the hallmark of the series.
Now for the pleasant. The soundtrack will be released in two editions. Double CD-album on 35 tracks and limited 12-track vinyl. The publisher, of course, Sumthing Else. Issue will be held on the same day with the release of the game, on November 15. The game, of course, is exclusive to Xbox 360.

Halo in a new wrapper
This autumn the first game of the Halo universe turned 10 years and in dedication to this event Microsoft plans to release a commemorative edition. Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary will receive a new engine and the soundtrack.
Refreshing of the game endures three studios: 343 Industries, which is an internal division of Microsoft, Certain Affiinity, consisting of former Bungie stuff, and also Saber Interactive from St. Petersburg, known for trash Will Rock and quite a good Timeshift.
The new version of Halo will change hurriedly graphics rendering between new engine and classic. However, this is not a major change in the game. For new soundtrack 343 Industries contacted to Pyramid Studios, who had worked not only on the original Halo, but also on Infamous 2, BioShock 2, God of War I & II.
"This is a big responsibility: to recognize all the music source tracks and create new orchestration, - said audio-director Paul Lipson. - Our team carefully and competently approached this problem, because we had to leave a pivotal part of the soundtrack of Halo, but also to bring it under the current standards audio production. "
Soundtrack recording will attended by the famous orchestra The Skywalker Symphony Orchestra and Chorus Chanticleer Vocal Ensemble. Interestingly, arrangements and orchestral sessions were held without any patronage from the authors of original compositions Martin O&39;Donnell and Michael Salvatori.
Game release is scheduled for mid-November, on the 10th anniversary of the series.
