Earth City is the seventeenth track in Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 1.
The piece combines deep strings with a piano rhythm to create an imposing, suspense-filled piece. Towards the end, a higher string set creates a building crescendo, accompanied by a vocal set reminiscent of the one at the end of The Last Spartan.
The piece was reorchestrated into Earth City in Halo Legends: Original Soundtrack as well as Kilindini Harbour in Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack.
Appearances
Its title suggests its association with New Mombasa, the "Earth City" featured prominently in Halo 2. It is first played in the Halo 2 E3 2003 demo when the Master Chief mans the gun of a Gauss Warthog and continues on until the end of the demo.
The soundtrack can be heard:
- In the opening cutscene of the level Outskirts, when the Pelicans launched from UNSC In Amber Clad encounter the Type-47A Scarab.
- In a low strings version during the level Metropolis, when John-117 encounters Wraiths outside a Marine command post, just before a Scarab passes through.
- In full during the ending cutscene of Metropolis, as the Solemn Penance prepares to make a slipspace jump, while the In Amber Clad attempts to intercept it.
- During the level The Great Journey, when Thel 'Vadam escorts the Scarab commandeered by Avery Johnson near the Control Room of Installation 05.
