Yeah whatever happened to having a little solidarity. In Japan even big companies like Bungee treat their employees with respect as long as they do their job well and remain loyal. This smells like some kind of kneejerk, executive-cover-my-ass move made by some entitled ceo fatcat. This kind of power abuse is sickening - I really hope the guy makes a killing with his lawsuit. He's definitely earned it.

By the sounds of it he just got fired without warning while he was finishing the score for the game
he should just let it go. Only sue people for big things not for little things like vacation pay. By the time he gets a lawyer to do this, any money he would have made will be gone, plus his time wasted dealing with this whole thing.
I heard he was fired because he wanted a pay raise, and he had already had one recently... so they decided his greed could not go unpunished and the corporate scum fired him. He maybe thought he was more important then he really was.
@Old_Gooseberry: More important then he really was? Marty O'Donnel WAS Halo. His music WAS Halo. It made the entire series what it was. Seriously go litsen to the Halo 2 ost and tell me it's not one of the best video game soundtrack of all time.
This whole ordeal... Really sucks for Bungie and Destiny. The game will suck without his music.
i wasnt bashing his halo soundtracks, i like them a ton also. And Halo 1 & 2 is one of the best ones he did. Maybe the top 10 soundtracks in my books also. Just they probably didn't see any reason to keep him around since their new game isn't a Halo game.
I actually liked Halo 3 soundtrack also... even though its best music was mostly remixed from similar sounding tracks from the first and second game.
There probably was never a soundtrack in a game that fit as well is Halo's did. No fps game has come close to matching its soundtrack. Most fps games don't even give music much of a thought.

Let's not get carried away. People didn't play Halo for the music. If the guy got greedy and they fired him it's a business decision. That's all.
