*It seems that Marty O'Donnell was going for more of a jazz perspective. In Deference for Darkness, there is a short saxophone section. More brass appear to pop up more in this soundtrack than the others. However in tracks like [[Skyline (Song)|Skyline]], it has the same variety of electric guitar, string, percussion, and other instruments; it is this combination and mixing that makes the Halo soundtracks so renowned and recognizable.
*The movement "Orbital Drop Shock Trooper" from the Finale has a runtime of 3:43, a reference to [[Seven|7]] and possibly the eponymous [[Monitor]] [[343 Guilty Spark]]. 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]].
*The soundtrack was awarded the Best Original Score at the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards.
*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.

*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.
