As much as I love nerding out about esoteric chord types and unconventional harmonic progressions, it's becoming more and more clear to me the importance of how a chord is 'voiced' - how the notes in the chord are arranged in relation to each other. The wrong voicings can turn a brilliant chord progression into a corny mess, while the right voicings can make a simple chord progression sound intensely powerful - and this is exactly what happens in 'Rain'. From the suite, "Deference for Darkness" from Halo 3: ODST's soundtrack, this short piece perfectly encapsulates the vibe that the game was going for and after taking a look at it, I think the approach to voicing each chord is the biggest factor in this achievement.
