Whether you love or hate the Halo series, one thing that you have to give the series credit for is its top-notch musical score. The music for the Halo series has gone on to be featured in multiple orchestras including the famed Video Games live, and is almost immediately noticeable from the start of the song.
With Halo 5 Guardians only a week away from release, 343 Industries has released the soundtrack on SoundCloud for fans to listen to for free, so you can judge for yourself on how EPIC the soundtrack is.
