Halo 3 ad: It's a mad (ring) world
13
Sure, most of us were satisfied with a badass Halo 3 commercial, but for some, it just lacked the emo panache of the famous Gears of War "Mad World" ad. Well, fear not, true believers, for 360 Fanboy reader, BrotherEstapol, has ripped the Mad World music and slapped it onto the Halo 3 commercial, creating a Frankensteinian delight the likes of which you've never seen. Honestly, the song is so hauntingly memorable that Microsoft could probably use it for every sixty second ad they produce and get away with it.
And now for the challenge: it's time for some Halo 3 ad remixes. We already have tons of them for the Gears of War ad, and we wouldn't want the Chief to feel left out. In fact, while you're at it, try sticking Mad World into other 360 ads and see what happens. Maybe it's like Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz. If you come up with anything good, send us a link and we'll post it.

"Mad World" - is there anything it can't enhance?
Now, try "Everyone Wants to Rule the World".

That was crazy good. I liked it better than the Gears commercial.

Why would you ruin the amazing halo 3 ad with this song?

The ad isn't ruined.. It's just taken in a different direction. This version would have been just as sweet.

It was okay, the problem with it is that the footage wasn't cut to fit the song. It would have been more appropriate to show him putting on his helmet as the song said the part about hiding his head. It wasn't in synch at all.
