{{Quote|This is a more character-driven piece, and its also about a planet that everyone knows will fall, and falls to the [[Covenant]]. So it's a more somber, more visceral introduction to the game that we're making.|[[Martin O'Donnell]]<ref>[http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/27382 '''1UP.com''': ''Halo Reach VGA Interview'']</ref>}}

==Trivia==
*The Halo: Reach Soundtrack is one of three soundtracks that does not directly include the [[Halo Theme]], with the other two being the ''[[Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack]]'', and the ''[[Halo 4: Original Soundtrack]]''.
*The last 8 songs on the soundtrack are not fully featured in-game. They are merely bonus tracks which appear in short clips throughout in-game campaign missions and cutscenes. [[From the Vault]] is fully featured in game, but only within the bonus [[Tribute Room]].
*There are two known songs - "Uphill, Both Ways" and "Lone Wolf" - that did not technically make it onto the official soundtrack, but appear as MP3 files downloadable through [[Bungie]]'s [http://halo.bungie.net/projects/reach/vidaudio.aspx?c=55 website]. "Uphill, Both Ways" is a shortened version of "Both Ways (Remix)", while "Lone Wolf" is simply a section of the track "Winter Contingency" using the same name.
