Bungie Parts Company with Halo Composer
Veteran Halo composer Martin O’Donnell has parted ways with Bungie.
In a tweet this morning, Mr O’Donnell said: “I’m saddened to say that Bungie’s board of directors terminated me without cause on April 11, 2014.”
However, a blog post on the Bungie website suggests the break up was more mutual. The post, by Community Manager David Dague, read: “For more than a decade, Marty O’Donnell filled our worlds with unforgettable sounds and soundtracks, and left an indelible mark on our fans. Today, as friends, we say goodbye. We know that wherever his journey takes him, he will always have a bright and hopeful future.
“We wish him luck in all his future endeavors.”
Mr O’Donnell had worked on various Halo games, with some of his work in the Destiny trailers.

Hi all, I'm Dan 'Nailz' Naylor, News Editor for the site (and I've just realised there's a pleasing alliteration to that). Almost all the news posts you see on the site are either by me or written because I say so, and we try to make them a little more interesting than a regurgitated press release so I hope you think we're succeeding.
Normally I'll be sinking my time into the latest RPG, but I'll play almost anything, with racing games a particular favourite. Owner of a Wii U, I have no regrets purchasing the console, though Smash Bros. hasn't left the disc tray since Christmas.
You can find me on Twitter and PSN as MacShanks, and feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, queries or feedback!
