Earth City is a music track featured in Halo 2, and is track seventeen of Volume 1 of the Halo 2 Soundtrack. The song combines deep strings with a piano rhythm to create an imposing, suspense filled piece. Towards the end, a higher string set creates a building crescendo, accompanied by a vocal set reminiscent of the one at the end of The Last Spartan. Lastly, it is again played when a Scarab is encountered, this time it is as the Arbiter escorts a Scarab commandeered by Avery Johnson in the jungle of Delta Halo, during the level The Great Journey.
