Marty O'Donnell has had a long and successful career as a composer, but remains best-known for his near two-decade association with developer Bungie. O'Donnell was audio director and composed the music for all of Bungie's Halo games, with his final project being Destiny before things went badly south between the musician and the studio. Since his firing in 2014 O'Donnell has been involved in various legal actions against his former employer and Microsoft, some of which have gone his way and some… not so much.
O'Donnell founded Highwire Games after leaving Bungie and composed the soundtrack for its debut release, Golem, but after that seemed to have quietly retired (aside from the lawsuits). Well, it turns out that the devil will find work for idle hands to do: O'Donnell has now announced his intention to run as a Republican Party candidate for Congress in Nevada.
