Agreed, this is Marty's best work. It's taken me years to decide, but by simple fact of this coming into my head and me needing to look it up, month after month for about 15 years, means it wins.
You do realise that most of this song is Mike, right? Marty really only did the piano, while Mike did the guitar, like the bass and guitar in this one.
Reminds me of when I was 13 and had a birthday party with a bouncy house in the back and when all the boys got tired we went in the basement and played 4 player split screen and whenever somebody died we would switch turns. It came night time and we were up until 4am and I remember my shirtless dad coming down and yelling at us for staying up too late. Good times.
I agree. I'm happy we were able to be a part of it and grow up with it, especially Halo 2. Halo 2 was my introduction into the series in 2004, and I still think it's the best in the series. There's just something so emotional and special about the campaign, the music, ah I just love it.
@@harrisonjohn4301 I started my Halo career in 2009. Halo 2 and Reach will always be my favorites in the series because they both had an awesome campaign, soundtrack, and an amazing multiplayer; Halo 2 had the best campaign though, that's a fact. It's sad that we'll never see an amazing Halo game made by the OG Bungie ever again. :/
I remember beating the game, going back to the menu, Crying as the BGM Kicked in, I always just rushed to the Campaign. I took a Minute and soaked it in, before I never completed CE as I was terrified of the First Flood level and not wanting to play that level. Really good times, but even better as of Recent Put a bunch of hours beat CE and 3 on Legendary with some friends and Completed Halo 2 Heroic Solo. I had never played 3 so it was a blast.
“Off the Rock, Through the Bush, Nothing But Jackal” :P Awesome work on this Engi! This is one of my favorite H2 tracks, and it’s great to hear the whole thing through like this! :D
I cannot shake this song. It haunts me. I love it so much. The background guitar, the bass, and the chanting and omfg!! This song slays me. The memories. I think of my future children and the halo runs we will have!
Right here with you, standing next to you virtually saluting you to our childhood and this amazing badass song.. like you said, the guitar, bass and chanting. Cheers man hope life is well for you.
That Halo 2 symbol and the sound waves at the bottom and the blurred background all just come together so well. I don’t know why, but this is super visually appealing for a video dedicated to a song. Well done.
This is the best. Of all time. My soul weeps for the struggle of chief against the odds. This song has so many layers. The vocals are haunting. This song chills my spine when I hear it. This is the best version of the best song on halo. Hands down.
@@kaifeng574 I agree the entire halo 3 ost is amazing and halo reach had so many awesome songs and an amazing version of a walk through the woods! What's your favorites?
Yeah that's my number 1 complaint, the Halo 2 "Classic" graphics audio is still bugged this many years after MCC release. Original Xbox music audio levels for Halo 2 were fine :(
I play this when Pheasant hunting with 'Gunner', my purebred Brittany Spaniel. Only the second and fourth playthroughs on this track give me the 'shuu shuu' and 'whaa whaa' that I need. Have not missed a shot and Gunner has not missed a bird while on this track. Man and dog are one while hunting to Halo.
On my last deployment to the Middle East, nothing like rolling around the desert in a Toyota Hilux at dusk with this playing in the truck. This and Mombasa Suite were on constant repeat for me while rolling back to main base at the end of the day.
I can remember looking out at the forerunner ship in the heart of the city as this music plays and the light shining in my eyes, me bobbing my head to this banger surrounded by covenant hex walls
Thanks a lot for making this! I had requested it and the final result is fantastic. I always liked this track, but the OST version was just too short. This extension is what it should have been.
Yeah I've noticed some of the OST versions lack the "glue" parts as Marty puts it, those parts with ambiance or alternate versions of some parts of the track. Great thing that we have such a dedicated community though, and get amazing pieces like these :d
You need more acknowledgment for this shit man...keep doin what your doing, your making a lot of people happy with this....brings back childhood memories
Theres times where I genuinely love how awesome this song is in this mix, but theres times where it makes me almost cry from times long past that I'll never get to experience this again like I did when i was a kid. I hope the ones that come after us get to experience this kind of feeling. Not because of the hurt that's left, but because of the friendship made there.
In Amber Clad song always hits home inside me...sounds like Hero's, the America that once was worth fighting for, the life that used to be, that had meaning, that made sense, even though the evil has always been hiding and often in plain sight, still, there was a semblance of virtue, truth, hope...JESUS CHRIST / YESHUA, YAHWEH / GOD, RUACH HAKKODESH / HOLY SPIRIT
When i hear this badass song i think of the hundreds of marines on the In Amber Clad that stepped into the unknown to face a horrible fate with the flood and covenant, all for the greater good.
"Good, still no word about In Amber Clad on the Covenant battlenet. It's odd, the Covenant knew we made landfall, but they don't seem to consider us a very serious threat. Boy, are they in for a big surprise."
Wow not heard this cool little extension in years. Still one of my favourite tunes from the franchise, and this build up is incredibly satisfying to llisten to.
Just went through this part on Legendary co-op relatively cold. Forgot why these two levels were my bane. The jackal sniper/drone combo was rough man, especially with so little cover at the start.
Halo Marines will always be special to me. Every Marine and crew member on the In Amber Clad most likely died brutal horrific deaths. If they didn't die on Delta Halo fighting the Covenant, they would have eventually died fighting the flood. Halo Marines know Every mission is likely a suicide mission. Halo Marines are always outnumbered, out gunned, and out classed by Covenant forces in almost every way, yet they charge into every battle, ignoring there imminent deaths. That's why I go out of my way to keep those BAMF alive in every Halo game.
For real. I go out of my way to protect them, give them the best equipment, reload checkpoints if they die. Insane how many marines perished on the delta halo ring. All for the greater good, true unsung heroes. You know they all had loved ones back on earth too.
Funny thing about this song around 2:10 as a kid a I use to think it was about to sound like the Danny Phantom theme. Makes sense I suppose considering that show was around when the game was more relevant.
Man, that game Series had so much impact in my childhood. Still playing that 20 Year old game like its New and nobody Else in my social group understand it. It makes me a little depressed for some reason.
to me this is THE song of halo 2
agreed 100%
Agreed, this is Marty's best work. It's taken me years to decide, but by simple fact of this coming into my head and me needing to look it up, month after month for about 15 years, means it wins.

at that point you have saved your rocket launcher for the shotgun passenger and you are collecting a cov sniper

Marty really did something magical for Bungie
I genuinely don’t think halo would’ve ever taken off without his work. He elevated it to that next level.
@@greigtoye The gameplay is incredible and helped all FPS advance, but we're seeing that the music is truly what's going to be timeless.
You do realise that most of this song is Mike, right? Marty really only did the piano, while Mike did the guitar, like the bass and guitar in this one.
"Could we *possibly be making any more noise?* Oh. I guess we can."
Sounds like a nagging wife , but regardless always stuck together no matter what, and the man still went back to rescue her.

There will never be another game series that will be as special and awesome as Halo is.
I agree. I'm happy we were able to be a part of it and grow up with it, especially Halo 2. Halo 2 was my introduction into the series in 2004, and I still think it's the best in the series. There's just something so emotional and special about the campaign, the music, ah I just love it.
@@harrisonjohn4301 you beat me to it! Halo is my childhood, especially Halo 2
The fable series is pretty special well fable 1 and 2 least
Metroid Prime series is pretty special and awesome in its own way!!!

These remixes NEED to be in Halo Infinite
I am so glad they brought back the '' Another walk'' sounds so good!
1:50 hits just right every time, makes me want to play H2 all over again
0:46 gets me every time in the feels. Its like the feeling after dried tears.
*I’m crying tears of tears of joy knowing Halo has gone into a bang of wonder…..*
😔😥😭😭😭👌
@@lopakacooper1668 😢
Feeling of relief
hell yeah brother
If you played this in your childhood, you probably have good memories about it, don't forget them.

Off the meds, through the wall, nothing but red.
I love this so much!
Robbed, committed fraud. I think I'm wanted?
Heyy, what are you doing here? ;)
I cannot shake this song. It haunts me. I love it so much. The background guitar, the bass, and the chanting and omfg!! This song slays me. The memories. I think of my future children and the halo runs we will have!

Still the gayest thing I've ever read
good luck spartan ;)

reach and halo 3 have some bangers as well
100%!
dude fuck yeah. Your comment speaks for all of us
@@kaifeng574 I agree the entire halo 3 ost is amazing and halo reach had so many awesome songs and an amazing version of a walk through the woods! What's your favorites?
It's kinda criminal how short the actual OST version of "In Amber Clad" is. Glad to see someone agreed and this became a thing.
Nice work, Engi.
👌🙂
This is one of the *BEST* songs from the Halo series. Hands down.
Out of all the songs in halo 2, this has to be my absolute favorite.
Halo 2 -unyielding looped mix
Good one! Added it to the list.
The bungi era of halo games has the best soundtracks it’s unfortunate that we will never hear this level of music again.
The scenery on the halos is so beautiful I wish I could take a vacation there.
Currently practicing this on guitar, obviously it doesn’t sound as great but it’s a lot of fun to do
How did it turn out?
@@JoeMama-qu8xu It’s gone great when I got the rhythm down, but work caught up to me and I don’t have the time unfortunately
Still bumpin this in 2022, that bassline with the drums slaps!
Long live halo a true game for years to come
This is the only track in the Halo 2 OST that isn't looped and is played once. Such an underrated track and beautiful. This longer version is awesome!
same happens with Under Cover of Night in Halo 1, In Amber Clad is like its successor.
This song is amazing, sucks that it's so quiet in MCC.
Yeah that's my number 1 complaint, the Halo 2 "Classic" graphics audio is still bugged this many years after MCC release. Original Xbox music audio levels for Halo 2 were fine :(
343 pls
Thanks to trash ass incompetent 343
343 can't do anything right
@@WeCareAlot4693 They can get 343 things wrong but not 1 right
Stunning as always.
oiiii
This feels like a convoy marching into battle. The tempo and mood is WELL on the point.
The best halo of them all, The legendary Halo 2.
I love how you used Halo 3 - Duty Bound's drums
Es como una postal
"Querido Sargento, partiendo jetas en el espacio, ojalá estuviera aquí"
Le he oido sopenco xd
It's weird hearing this un-interupted by getting one-shot by Jackal Snipers.
I play this when Pheasant hunting with 'Gunner', my purebred Brittany Spaniel. Only the second and fourth playthroughs on this track give me the 'shuu shuu' and 'whaa whaa' that I need.
Have not missed a shot and Gunner has not missed a bird while on this track. Man and dog are one while hunting to Halo.
Cortana ~ you always bring me to such nice place's.
this and unforgotten are my all time favorite halo tracks, halo imo has the best soundtracks out of any video game series
This is still way better than the remastered version in Halo 2 anniversary
The remastered soundtrack is inferior
@@mitchie2267 Any and all game music will be inferior to halo
Thanks Time Extended. This song- this song stands as a symbol to me. You have my gratitude for bringing it back.
On my last deployment to the Middle East, nothing like rolling around the desert in a Toyota Hilux at dusk with this playing in the truck. This and Mombasa Suite were on constant repeat for me while rolling back to main base at the end of the day.
I can remember looking out at the forerunner ship in the heart of the city as this music plays and the light shining in my eyes, me bobbing my head to this banger surrounded by covenant hex walls

You always take me to such nice places..
11 year old me: Woah! Why did the music just pick up?
Off the rocks, through the bush, nothing but jackal AND the single most cursed checkpoint in the entire game on legendary 👌

if I had a ship with this theme. I'd feel like a god
I got into halo late but I love it the first 3 games are so good
You are going to hit more than a 1000 subscribers. You are the halo version of system overlord
"Good, still no word about In Amber Clad on the Covenant battlenet. It's odd, the Covenant knew we made landfall, but they don't seem to consider us a very serious threat. Boy, are they in for a big surprise."
It hits me right in the heart 02:49...Nostalgia!!
This and Peril were the OG H2 bangers
Of all the songs
In amber clad/ trapped in amber are like the best Halo tracks ever.
If I had the ability to make my own Halo campaign *_(which I don't)_* , I'd use this tune in a trailer to show off one of the campaign maps.
Wow not heard this cool little extension in years. Still one of my favourite tunes from the franchise, and this build up is incredibly satisfying to llisten to.
Powerful stuff right here
This is so gorgeous!! Thank you for making a flawless remake and reedit of my favorite song in the entire Halo franchise.
i love this song
PTSD for all the snipers here. Halo 2 legendary was no joke.
This is an amazing mix. It feels like this is what the song was meant to be. Awesome job
"Vaya, es como una postal. Querido sargento, pateando culos en el espacio exterior ojala estubiera aqui.
-Eh oido eso, Sopenco."
A special kind of special... it had been years since I played Halo 2, and this theme would sometimes pop in my head. Good stuff.
Thank you for extending this track, I have added it to my programming playlist.
The way you extended this is the way i heard it in my head to a T. Really well done, talented as hell.
found your channel today and love what you do! keep on spartan

Me:" how many times will i die before making it through. "

Halo 2 is the last time that Chief and Cortana are truly together, this is the old days.

Excellent!
probably my favorite Halo song
I love listening to this when I’m hiking near a waterfall
this music is awesome
"Over The Rock, Through The Bush, Nothing But Jackal"
Halo and Crysis. Two pivotal games in the industry
The game where you really felt like humanitys last hope.
If this song isn’t played at my funeral then I’m not going
