Two tracks from Halo Wars 2′s soundtrack have been uploaded.

Run Little Demons

Atriox and the banished are a dark, gritty and powerful enemy, arguably one of the toughest opponents the UNSC has encountered to date - and they are also a very intelligent and nuanced group. We wanted to craft a sound scape that captured the raw power and brutality of the banished warlords, while simultaneously underscoring their complexities with beautiful orchestral details and bespoke musical sound design. In this specific cue, we use powerful tribal drums and high tech electronic percussion to create an intense rhythmic foundation. Heavy brass and layered synths augment the rhythm with explosive stabs, expressing dread and fear, while strings add tension and colour to create contrast.

Isabel’s Awakening

Isabel enters the Halo universe in a time of turmoil and loss and needs to quickly step up to some overwhelming challenges. We wanted her theme to portray all of this in a musically poetic way. So “Isabel’s Awakening” is comprised of three sections: First, an introduction and delicate statement of her main melodic theme. Next, a lament to honour fallen heroes and to underscore the present strife and unrest. Then finally, a reprise of her main theme that blossoms and grows into a bold and hopeful hero’s song.

Both of these pieces are awesome! Run Little Demons has been featured in one of the ViDocs, but Isabel’s Awakening is new.

There should be a TL;DR on terms and conditions

GREAT character concepts for halo

-grunt that’s insecure about her high voice so she uses a voice changer over comms and everyone thinks she’s an elite until they meet her

-hunter that lost its buddy and sorta just stopped fighting. it protects a small outer colony town now and children draw murals on its shield.

-marine that forgot what franchise he’s in and keeps confusing the flood with necromorphs. someone corrects him then he’s convinced it’s xenomorphs.

-elite obsessed with human culture. visits earth and is accidentally ridiculously insensitive. means well.

-retired brute. just sorta chillin. maybe runs a bar on Mars now. Ironically only biased against grunts, despite the jackal running the bar down the street always stealing his customers.

-said retired brute’s wife, who takes up jackal hunting for a living. she’s huge and constantly mistaken for a chieftain. her hammer is named “sunshine”

-infinity’s cute mascots. a dog and a cat named Jul and Telcam.

-prophet that never really did anything in the covenant anyway so they let him go. he takes up sewing and makes sweaters for drones.

-drones that wear sweaters

Thousands of unionists marched through Melbourne’s CBD this morning in support of 55 workers sacked by Carlton & United Breweries earlier this year. They were told they could reapply for their jobs at up to 65 percent below their previous wage rate.

The dispute is symptomatic of a broader trend – of the hard-won gains in wages and conditions won by previous generations of workers being undermined by big corporations trying to squeeze out ever more profit into the pockets of owners and investors. The workers and their supporters have vowed to continue the fight.

Red Flag asked some workers why they attended:

“So it doesn’t happen to the rest of us. We need to boycott their products, stick together.” – Kevin, 34, ETU member (John Holland)

“It’s just going to be a flow-on effect for all industries. It’s corporate greed. They’ve been doing this for years. How would every other sane person feel?” – Daniel, 29, ETU member (EQ Tower)

“I don’t believe in the middle man getting stuffed over. The rich are getting richer; the poor are getting poorer.” – Daniel, 25, ETU member (EQ Tower)
