>>68492886>>68488219There's a stealth music rights dispute between MS, Marty O'Donnel, Salvatore and the respective companies that distributed the OST of all the classic games up to Reach. That's why Calli and Amelia didn't play HALO anymore after their first stroll through Halo Reach. They got hit by an overly complicated rights holder demonetization and complaint. So they just decided not to touch it.
It's sad but funnily enough, Halo 4, 5, Wars 2 and INFINITE don't suffer from that BS because MS explicitly ordered 343i to practically produce all their music in-house or with contractors that would give all rights per-commision to 343 Industries to avoid this scenario AGAIN.
At least Halo INFINITE plays nice if you avoid ranked, also Firefight mode is A-OK.
And new cool free content (but the store is still a steal). Still, Mark IV core arrived. Happy.
