*The movement "Orbital Drop Shock Trooper" from the Finale has a runtime of 3:43, a reference to [[7|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 [[John-117|Master Chief]].

Additionally "[[Prepare To Drop (music)|Prepare to Drop]]," named after the game's tagline, has a runtime of 1:17, a reference to [[John-117|Master Chief]].
*Marty O'Donnell was trying to evoke the feeling of jazz, while not literally creating jazz music. Throughout the soundtrack there are several songs that contain solo saxophone sections that create a lonely, urban atmosphere. In the tracks "Skyline" and "Traffic Jam" however, an electric guitar along with heavier sounding percussion are used in the more cinematic moments in the game.
*The soundtrack won several awards; the Best Original Score at the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_Video_Game_Awards#2009_Awards '''Wikipedia''': ''2009 Spike Video Game Awards'']</ref> and Best Original Score and Sounds in the Czech Gaming Awards "Invaze 2009".{{citation needed}}
*Most of the tracks that play during [[Mombasa Streets]] have a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_noir film noir] flair, due to the jazz perspective used in the soundtrack. This seems fitting, since most film noir movies are about detectives, and [[The Rookie]] is, in a sense, a detective.


*Marty O'Donnell was going for more of a jazz perspective. Throughout the Soundtrack there are several songs that contain solo saxaphone sections to add to the created atmosphere. There are two songas however that include electric guitar along with heavy sounds to create cinematic moments in the game. These two tracks are Skyline and Traffic Jam.
