Music
The music for the "Halo" trilogy by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori have met with both critical and popular acclaim, with many considering them to be some of the best examples in the genre due to the "iconic" nature, memorable themes, instrumentation and employment of the score in-game. Official soundtracks have been released both on CD and digital download for all three games. A special collection containing most of the music from all three games was released in a boxed set, as well as containing a DVD with selected cues from the then-upcoming Halo Wars score.

The music for the spin-off strategy game prequel Halo Wars was composed by Ensemble Studios in-house composer Stephen Rippy, with additional music by his long time collaborator and game Audio Lead Kevin McMullan. It was recorded in Prague, Czech Republic by 45 members of the FILMHarmonic Orchestra and a 21 voice choir at CNSO Studio No. 1. The score was released as a single CD package with a bonus DVD containing additional tracks, 5.1 surround sound mixes of some cues and a behind the scenes video showing the recording sessions of the Halo Wars main theme. It was also put up for retail as a digital download over iTunes and Sumthing Digital. The response to the score was almost universally enthusiastic, with most critics praising Stephen Rippy's taking the series into new stylistic territory while still paying homage to and reworking classic themes and ideas.
