[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ROBERTO jh Before ODST came out, if I told you that Halo would have a new artist for a new Halo game, and that he was going to be heavy on the jazz and saxaphone, would you have flipped your -blam!-? Probably. If I told you that artist was not new, and was just an experimental Marty, you would be a lot calmer, but still likely would have flipped some -blam!-.[/quote] I could not have put this better myself. Look at Stephen Rippy who composed the Halo Wars OST, [i]nobody[/i] complains about him because his musical themes and tones are entirely based off Marty's work and they sound extremely similar. It's that same mentality that comes with reaction to game design, "change = bad".
