*Composer Stephen Rippy was hesitant to write a main theme for ''Halo Wars'' during production. Rippy noted that the track needed to tie itself to the ''Halo'' franchise but establish its own identity as ''Halo Wars''. Initially, the track opened conservatively with an arrangement of the ''Halo Theme'', followed by the ''Spirit of Fire'' leitmotif. However, almost all those who heard the track told Rippy that the track was "too familiar". In response to the feedback, Rippy moved the ''Halo Theme'' arrangement to the back to reinforce the ''Spirit of Fire'' leitmotif, resulting in a stronger focus on the ''Halo Wars'' identity in the track.{{Ref/Site|Id=rippy|URL=https://www.stephenrippy.com/halo-wars-blog.html|Site=Stephen Rippy.com|Page=Over and Out: The Music of Halo Wars From Start to Finish|D=15|M=5|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Site|Id=OHWCS|URL=http://halowars.com/news/articles/archive/2008/12/12/_2200_Over-and-Out_2200_.aspx|Site=Official Halo Wars Community Site|Page=Over and Out|D=12|M=12|Y=2008}} | *Composer Stephen Rippy was hesitant to write a main theme for ''Halo Wars'' during production.
