'''Unforgotten''' is the sixth track in ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack#Volume 2|Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 2]]''.
'''Unforgotten''' is a song included in the [[Halo 2 Original Soundtrack]]. The first section of the song is included as one of the subsequent pieces in the main menu of ''[[Halo 2]]''. The remake of this piece, [[Never Forget]], is heard exclusively on the [[Halo 3 Original Soundtrack]], as Unforgotten is played in the main menu of ''[[Halo 3]]'', contrary to popular belief that the song is [[Never Forget]]. It is the only piece to be played on the main menu of two games (with the exception of the Gregorian Chant). [[Unforgotten (Halo Legends)|A remix]] of this song is also played in the menu of Halo Legends. Unforgotten is often stated to be the most emotional piece in the series. What this peice is actually based on is unknown, it could refer to either the master chief, the marines who died in the human-covenant war or both.
