'''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]]''. A small section of it is played in [[High Charity (level)|''High Charity'']], when Cortana overlooks the leaving Forerunner ship containing the Master Chief. 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 rearrangement]] 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 {{fact}}. What the name of this piece is actually referring to is unknown, but it could either be referring to the Master Chief, the Humans who died in the Human-Covenant War, or both.
