Here is a transcription of Orbital Drop Shock Trooper from Halo 3: ODST.
Credits to Benjamin Bergem aka. The Halo-Dragon for his transcription of this song (http://rampancy.net/blog/HaloDragon/28/11/2009/Orbital_Drop_Shock_Troopers), as I relied rather heavily on his version for the middle section (specifically, bars 69-111, which is almost identical to his version).
This version attempts to incorporate more of the orchestral parts.
The alto sax solos from "Rain". The first two bits are separated by a 1-bar rest, but they should actually be multiple bar rests, just listen to the recording to figure out when to come in. The piano accompaniment can be found here: http://rampancy.net/blog/HaloDragon/05/10/2009/Another_Rain, and here: http://rampancy.net/blog/shadeslayer/29/11/2009/Rain_Piano_partial.
This is an extended part not found in "Another Rain". Benjamin Bergem's transcription can be used for the rest of the song: http://rampancy.net/blog/HaloDragon/05/10/2009/Another_Rain. After the second "all alone" alto sax solo, insert this music, and then cut back to "Another Rain". Finale Notepad wouldn't allow me to have two bass clefs in the staff, so the top line is in treble clef, but should be played an octave lower (8vb).
Cast Aside, from the track "No Stone Unturned" by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, for a piano, a string ensemble and an oboe.
The epic piece "Orbital Drop Shock Trooper" composed by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori. This is a very big piece and it took a while to transcribe it, especially for piano, lots of different notes to pick between. Good luck, folks!

Over at HBO, Louis Wu notes rolandk73's submission of sheet music for the Halo theme, arranged for Bb Clarinet and Bass Clarinet. Go check it out at HBO!
Where One Road Ends by Marty and Mike for piano. I tried to get the "engineerish" sounds too.
This is my arrangement of Marty's "Another Walk" [as it is called on the CD] (halo 3 OST Track 3 ~3:40) in .MUS format.
It includes only the vocals; percussion is in the works, but I find it quite accurate :D.
(done by ear)
By the way... I've seen other people upload these without ZIPing... How would one go about this?
Thanks in advance.
This transcription is not mine, mainly for those who really want it. Are we allowed to post other people's sheet music here?
(reply to yup987): here you go, sorry it took so long.
The Halo-Dragon provided the notes for this arrangement. All I did was use Finale NotePad 2004 to put it into a simpler time signature: 3/4.
'From the Ashes' by Martin O'Donnell. The first thing you may notice is that you play it twice. Second time is similar to first time played, they just end and start slightly different. You can listen to the song to find out by yourself.
'Another Rain' for piano; the first track in 'The Light at the End' by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori.
Similar to 'Rain'.

I did not transcribe this music. This is the official sheet music for Halo 2 Theme Mjolnir Mix, so the notes are 100% accurate. This piece is fairly easy to learn. Enjoy!
This is the theme from the announcement trailer for Halo 3: ODST. It's my first arrangement so I'm sorry for any mistakes/inaccuracies which there probably will be. I transcribed it using Finale notepad 2005 which doesn't allow me to change key or time signatures in the middle of a piece so that's why the entire thing is in 6/8 and F-minor. The sax part can be played on piano if you want, but just remember to transpose it down (the notes are A flat, G, and C in concert pitch). Feel free to fix it and change whatever you want to make it better.
