Production[edit]

Recording[edit]

The Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack was re-recorded with the San Francisco Symphony, a 40-person opera choir, and a 28-person boys' choir. Wataru Hokoyama served as the orchestral conductor.[3] Steve Vai, who worked on the original Halo 2 original soundtrack, was hired to re-record his original guitar tracks for the remastered soundtrack. Two new tracks by Misha Mansoor replace the exclusive original songs by Breaking Benjamin and Incubus in the "Anniversary" mode, however the original tracks are retained in "Classic" mode. The soundtrack in Halo 2: Anniversary is in surround sound.[5] Players can swap back and forth between the remastered and original Halo 2 soundtracks while playing Halo 2: Anniversary.[2] The soundtrack was recorded between July 26-31, 2014.[6]
