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.

Zone of the Enders: The 2nd RunnerThe sequel to Zone of the Enders is based around mecha combat with the player once again controlling the "Orbital Frame" Jehuty. Unlike its prequel, the game is now centered on action elements with the player not needing to protect civilians in need and instead Jehuty contains more weaponry than in the previous game.
The plot is set two years after the events from Zone of the Enders and focuses on Dingo Egret, a former member from Mars' military organization BAHRAM whose leader Ridley "Nohman" Hardiman wants back with him. Nohman shoots Dingo following his rejection but the agent Ken Marinaris saves Dingo by connecting his body to Jehuty and forces to work in order to defeat BAHRAM. The game had a new director, Shuyo Murata, who producer Hideo Kojima appointed in order to provide a different experience. The team worked to cover the criticism the original Zone of the Enders received resulted in The 2nd Runner having more action elements.
The game received generally favorable critical response due to the improvements it has in comparison to the previous game. Critics praised the game's graphics and gameplay elements but criticized its short length and presentation. Despite the positive critical reaction, the game suffered mediocre sales.
