Rock in a Hard Place is the eighth track (Disc 1 Track 8) in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary: Original Soundtrack.

Overview

The track is an arrangement of its namesake Rock Anthem for Saving the World from Halo: Original Soundtrack, though featuring a new rendition of electric guitar improvisation.

Appearances

The track plays in place of Rock Anthem for Saving the World in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary:

• In the level The Silent Cartographer, just after John-117 exits the facility after activating the Cartographer.
• In the level Assault on the Control Room, at the base of the Control Room, though only the initial part of the piece is heard.
• In the level Two Betrayals, when John-117 has climbed down to the base of the Control Room.

Production notes

The name, although a clear reference to the original track Rock Anthem for Saving the World and its rock musical rhythm, is also a play on the common phrase "between a rock and a hard place".
