Hello, OG.
I'm working on a project that aims to preserve any and all video marketing material for the Halo franchise from 2001 through today using the original source material (as in, no umpteenth-generation YT rips). Recently, I found this commercial talking about opening up a can of whoopass on some meanie aliens that I had never seen before. Turns out I'm not the only one with this experience, because every person I've asked whom I thought might have some more information on this commercial has pretty much said the same thing.
I have managed to glean a few details about this commercial, but I can't verify all the claims by myself:
If anybody knows anything at all about this funny commercial, please do not hesitate to reply or PM me. Thank you!

I have managed to glean a few details about this commercial, but I can't verify all the claims by myself:
- According to halo.bungie.org, this ad aired in Canada, hence the Toronto Star review (source)
- The description of the video itself mentions that it was "exclusive to a promo disk handed out to media outlets but was not used" which made me think it lived on an EPK for Halo CE
- CIA391 of Halopedia tells me it was a "rando disk" that wasn't "Halo focused", which now leads me and r/lostmedia to believe that this may live on a Kiosk Demo Disk
