    It’s not hard to see the appeal of the idea of the Firefight mode in Halo 3: ODST. If you follow Bungie’s shooter roots back to Marathon, and to the PC shooter that really kicked off the modern era, Doom, you can see the start of it. Doom didn’t have discrete multiplayer ‘levels’ the way…

    Here is a transcription of Orbital Drop Shock Trooper from Halo 3: ODST. Credits to Benjamin Bergem aka. The Halo-Dragon for his transcription of this song (http://rampancy.net/blog/HaloDragon/28/11/2009/Orbital_Drop_Shock_Troopers), as I relied rather heavily on his version for the middle section (specifically, bars 69-111, which is almost identical to his version). This version attempts to incorporate more…

    This is an extended part not found in “Another Rain”. Benjamin Bergem’s transcription can be used for the rest of the song: http://rampancy.net/blog/HaloDragon/05/10/2009/Another_Rain. After the second “all alone” alto sax solo, insert this music, and then cut back to “Another Rain”. Finale Notepad wouldn’t allow me to have two bass clefs in the staff, so…

    Now that I’ve actually gotten my hands on the game, I’ve been able to add some more data to that Google Earth Network Layer for Halo 3: ODST. Each of the 29 audio locations in the Mombasa Streets level are labeled. So far there’s no additional information (screenshots, descriptions) but I will add that as…
