Halo 3 E307 Trailer Christmas Package
—
by
I finally finished putting together the E3 2007 theme for piano. It is fairly difficult to play but it is still possible. I went to my old “Halo Main Theme Extended Maw Version” transcription and added parts from the E307 trailer. There are a few mistakes that I could not fix but overall I think it sounds pretty good. The file is for Finale Printmusic 2009. Don’t have it? Use this link to find out how to get it:

Update: I fixed and added some missing parts from Mike Poe’s full score transcription of this song. I have also arranged One Final Effort for piano and have posted it here as well.
So you should see three files:
Halo 3 E307 Trailer full (The full score by Mike Poe and edited by me)
Halo 3 E307 Trailer Piano (My transcription for piano only)
Halo 3 One Final Effort (I added the beginning and other parts that were cut out from the E307 trailer)Enjoy the music! Leave a comment or send me a message if you’re having trouble with the file. Consider this as my Christmas gift! Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Rumors, probably fake
Over at NeoGAF, Stormtrooper30 pointed out a rumor that popped up on the Europe-Nintendo forums (heh) suggesting that in the next few months, Microsoft would begin patching original Xbox titles to retroactively add achievements. First on the supposed list? Halo: Combat Evolved. Before you get your hopes up, Luke Smith immediately chimed in with a sobering comment: “That’s nothing we’ve heard of.” It’s POSSIBLE that Microsoft is doing this without Bungie’s knowledge… but not horribly likely. (Luke also pointed out how much work it would be to retrofit an older game with achievements. As he says, “don’t hold your breath.”)(Louis Wu 14:53:40 UTC)

Hear the beeps that I might teach you
HSAR rewrote a famous Simon and Garfunkel song with some new Halo-related lyrics. Some of the word choices are a little awkward, but the meter’s great, and overall he did a great job. Go read!(Louis Wu 14:51:09 UTC)

Christmas Spartan
Ouch! Bungie’s blog has a tidbit about some really bad luck experienced by a fan – who was working on a Halo 3 Christmas image. What got done so far is great – here’s hoping BWO Magoogam gets better quick!(Louis Wu 22:59:02 UTC)
