Appearances

The soundtrack can be heard played throughout the third campaign level in Halo: Reach, ONI: Sword Base. The musical section Latchkey is also played in the closing cinematic of the fifth level, Tip of the Spear, in which the UNSC Grafton destroys the Covenant Spire but was immediately shot by the Covenant supercarrier Long Night of Solace.

Trivia

  • The track Aim to Please is a reference to Noble Six's quote in the ending cinematic of the level.
  • The track Sword Control can be heard in the ViDoc A Spartan Will Rise.
