Bungie fires composer Martin O'Donnell

[Camul]

This means he's free for hiring... this could be good for my project..

 

I think Bungie just needed someone with a Fresh view on the music... Keeping with 1 person can become stale after a while

I suppose you're right, but to just drop it on him one day without any reason is a bit unfair. At least that's what it sounds like happened.

this seriously sucks. I feel bad for Marty.

[Inkz]

I think Marty at least deserves a reason. They just lost one of their best assets, I feel that the world of Bungie I once knew is disappearing.

I fear this is a sign of things to come...

I stopped caring about anything Bungie does when they decided to not put Destiny on PC.

The music was one of the best fking parts of Halo

Without cause firing means he can collect unemployment and go elsewhere without worrying about any non-compete clauses.

This was in fact the WORST way Bungie could've let him go.

The man is rich between his pre game composing and his royalties off Halo (which he still gets). Cutting him loose for a freelance hack doesn't speak well to internal company politics at all

[ShiverMePenguins]

It seems like an insane move. Especially if it's true that they did so 'without cause'.

The man is a huge part of the reason Bungie have become so successful. To simply dismiss him in this way seems very out of character for the company. I really want to know more about what has happened here.

they probably did it to save money.

I started hating on Bungie when they pretty much dropped PC gaming for consoles   

 

No but seriously, I don't think any of us know what's going on behind closed doors. For all we know Bungie had a solid reason, maybe not... All I can say is the man is a great artist and I wish him all the best.
