'''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.
