In Response To: Re: Halo 3's ad campaign - canon? (Stephen L. (SoundEffect)) : The sand being almost white happens in Egypt even given the right conditions : and sunlight, that shouldn't be an issue at all.

Yeah, I realized that about the sand as I was writing it, but figured what the heck. The main point where I have issues is the actual architecture being different in these ads from the primary source (Bungie). I understand wanting to have the "flavor" be canon though since the ads kicked ass. A smaller issue I have, if I could get past the architecture being different from Bungie stuff, is the Chief even pretending to have been beaten by a Brute. It might go with the desperate tone that they were setting for Halo 3, but that isn't what I see when I play the games.
