Martin "Marty" O'Donnell, you are the prime reason why I joined this community. When I was 8, I was told about a video game called Halo, so I borrowed a friend's copy to play it, just out of curiosity. But my curiosity became into a reality when I heard your music. It flowed with my experience and I have never forgotten my first moment playing Halo for the first time, and I do still play Halo (CE) to this day. I also loved to hate the Flood, with all due respect, your talented sounds, but I later became enthused and inspired by those sounds because it was unique and new. I was saddened to hear about your termination happened during my birthday. It made me realize about all the time I have spent on a game made by Bungie. Now I don't want to know how nor why The decision was made but I do hope for you the best of luck in life as my support to you. Recall the best moments in your career and look forward. Best wishes, and Audacia Per Ad Astra! Robert K.
