'''Ancient Machine''' is a song included in the ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack|Halo 2 Original Soundtrack]]''. The "Ancient Machine" is thought to refer to different Forerunner constructs.  
'''Ancient Machine''' is ninth track of ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack|Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 1]]''.  


The song plays on the following levels: [[Outskirts]] and the level [[The Arbiter]]. It is mainly heard in the level [[Quarantine Zone (level)|Quarantine Zone]]. During Outskirts, it plays as you head down the dark hallway in the [[Hotel Zanzibar|hotel]], and during the short skirmish soon after. During The Arbiter it plays as you clear the hangar. It also plays for a short time towards the end of the "That Old, Familiar Feeling" cutscene in [[Quarantine Zone]]. It has some percussion as well as vocals as the lead. It is mostly electronic however, which helps add an eerie atmosphere, which may be a reference to [[the Flood]].
