Volume 2 departed from the format of Volume 1. The tracks of music are grouped into suites with different chapters, similar to movements in a symphony. On the Volume 2 inlay card, Martin O'Donnell leaves a short message detailing why he chose to use this structure:

"I decided to use a "suite" structure that corresponds to the chapters within the game. In a sense, by listening to this soundtrack, you will hear the musical representation of the story of Halo 2."

  1. Prologue - 2:35 [I. Rising (:20); II. Cloistered Expectancy (:25); III Weight of Failure (1:50)]
  2. Cairo Suite - 9:42 [I. Cold Blue Light (1:54); II. Waking Spartan (3:36); III. Jeweled Hull (2:03); IV. Chill Exposure (2:09)]
