If you enjoyed the sombre tone of some of the other media, I'd encourage giving Halo 3 ODST a shot. Invasion of earth from the perspectives of more typical marines, not a supersoldier. It's still very clearly halo, but the vibes are completely different.

    I did play it actually! I'm doing a chronological playthrough so I went with Reach > 1 > 2 (partial) > ODST > 2 > 3 and now 4. And yeah, I agree it's closer to what I like in Halo media than the mainline entries. It was fun but, unfortunately for me, I'm playing on Heroic so gameplay (or health) wise there's not much difference between playing as a spartan and ODST. Presentation and story did their job though.
