Re: In-game billboards

Hm...Intel Core Duo...by the year 2142, wouldn't those be horribly outdated? Imagine seeing ads for Colecovision today...and that system is only a few decades out of date, never mind more than a century

Anyways - I don't notice the billboards too much at this point - I'm too busy trying to avoid being shot.

JOIN QuAKE WARS !

In the future technology stagnates which explains the EU tank. Thus over a hundred years into the future Intels are still big business.

Also I'm going to send a submission for a place selling "Antique Twinkies," if we all send one in I think we can make it happen. On that same note since they've got the space they might as well advertise random clans and communities (at least on their own server), I figure not all the boards have to be used for evil.

There is no such thing as an "antique twinkie" - at least traditionally. Put a twinkie made today next to one made in 2142, and they'd be exactly the same - edible and all. They cannot possibly go bad.

Any mold that tries to grow on a twinky dies of heart disease shortly after.

It sure does. And they're still delicious. I think...it's been a long time.

We win!
But no matter why they are saying this now, I think this could lead to some great (albeit distracting) ingame moments. The 'ads' could be great for community, have hilarious pictures, or who noes what. As long as EA doesn't sell out, this should actually be pretty cool.

I used search and found this old thread

I've been seeing billboards lately and quite like them

here's one from this week

**Holy** · 05-04-2008, 03:07 PM

Wow, that one looks pretty cool Silver.

**Uranium - 235** · 05-04-2008, 05:15 PM

So even though we paid $50 for this game, and even though ranked servers cost like $3 per slot, and even though they're not even making official content for us, and the ONLY thing EA has to do is run the measly little Master Server, how the hell do they justify advertising in-game? Besides being run by corporate slimeballs, I mean.

In-game advertising should mean NS was free...

Silver is probably thinking about sneaking in to Pepper Potts (Gwenyth Paltrow character in Iron Man) wardrobe and leaving Wonder Woman behind!

**jonathanshifty** · 05-04-2008, 06:45 PM

the billboards should have trailers of new movies.. or trailer of the new battlefield series playing while we fight. im sure some soldiers would be distracted by this and die

**Towuaway2** · 05-04-2008, 10:11 PM

ha the ingame advertisising should say:
"YOU LOOKED HERE UR GONNA GET HEADSHOTED BY A SNIPER IN THE NEXT 5 Secods!!"
**3 seconds l8er------HEADSHOT**
