It was later released as a free download on [[Bungie.net]]. | | *Sergeant Johnson and an unknown number of [[ODSTs]] seem to be the only ones who enjoy this genre. |
| *According to Joseph Staten in the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' cinematic documentary found in the Legendary Edition Bonus Disc of ''[[Halo 3]]'', the development team originally planned to license ''Paint It Black'' by ''The Rolling Stones'' for the Pelican scene in ''343 Guilty Spark''. It was instead decided to use an original song before the game's release.
