This was definitely a different experience than the other Halo games and more of an addition to Halo 3 than it's own game completely. Can be a little harder at times and the darkness takes a little getting use to but I remember sympathising with the flying turtle aliens due to how they were used and abused for their abilities. It was also a different experience playing as an ODST instead of a spartan, which really put into perspective just how powerful spartans were, so much so that even a well trained service member paled next to one. It was interesting playing through the game and realising how the sentient city itself was trying to help (that might be an innept summary but I digress). The soundtrack was yet again masterful and stood out. This and reach were by far the last masterful additions to the series. Nothing has managed to come close (as of early 2025). I absolutely loved playing this with a veteren Halo player, who could help fill the gaps as we went through (not spoiling it) when I had questions if something didn't make sense. I also like the addition of firefight, it's tonnes of fun (and the spartan op thingies are nothing like it). It also showed how scary potentially getting glassed could be... Regardless of the reason why it was occuring as well as being the last to leave a war zone before it gets absolutely annihilated.

Wolfenstein
WolfensteinWolfenstein is the direct sequel to Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Spear of Destiny/Wolfenstein RPG. It featured a "re-imagined" disguised dark-haired B.J. Blazkowicz, retaining the unshaven look seen in Return to Castle Wolfenstein and dressed in civilian clothes rather than his usual military uniform. The game mainly consists of the player shooting his way through hordes of different types of Nazis, ranging from normal soldier to ninjas. To deal with the large amount of enemies, the player has access to many typical WWII-weapons like the German MP40 or K98 rifle. In addition, during the course of the game he finds the medallion and learns four powers. While at first entering the Veil only allows him so see enemies more clearly and use strange flying creatures as bombs, he is later able to slow down time, surround himself with a protective shield or make himself stronger. However, the medallion's powers drain its energy, which needs to be refilled at power-spots that are nearly invisible in the real world.
