just found some strange points there:

# Will there be in-game advertising?
Yes. Massive is the company supplying the ads and you will notice billboards sprinkled around the map. I've been told that ATVI, id, and SD have to jointly approve all ad art.
# How will that work? Won't the ads detract from the gameplay?
The ad billboards are kind of scattered all over the map and if the art is done right, they should blend into the game environment.

so, did i get it right? "billboards sprinkled around the map" means i see advertising pillars on special points on the map??? or is it like "u killed xxx with tompson - ur frag was kindly sponsored by Coca Cola" or what?!?

but in shooters it looks strange...just another way to earn a couple of $ more...but k
who cares about those little advertisements... it makes the game only more attractive for sponsors/companys and gives the game a better chance of support imo
