Trivia

The movement "Orbital Drop Shock Trooper" from the Finale has a runtime of 3:43, a reference to seven and possibly the eponymous Monitor 343 Guilty Spark. Additionally "Prepare to Drop," named after the game's tagline, has a runtime of 1:17, a reference to Master Chief.

It seems that Marty O'Donnell was going for more of a jazz perspective. In Deference for Darkness, there is a short saxaphone section. More brass appear to pop up more in this soundtrack than the others.
