Here's an interesting thought. Since we spend some time battling it out in the streets of New Mombasa wouldn't it be just prime to see the occasional piece of advertising. Imagine a sign reading "Always. Coca Cola" while you were driving your warhog blasting at Covenant.

It might be interesting if some Bungie advertising reps sold this advertising space to real companies asking them to represent a logo treatment for itself in the year 2552.

Not only would it mean more money for Bungie (and more money means more likely a chance for Halo3. Yay for us! ) but it would liely add to the realism.

I like it.

It's a videogame. Let's not get carried away. Would Coca-Cola pay millions of dollars to put their logo on a billboard in Halo 2? That would be a waste of money.

Then again... hundreds of millions of people will buy Halo 2...

It's an ok idea.

I like it long as it is tastefull. Hell if I was coca-cola I would buy that space. It would also add to the realism in the human levels.

*imagines that giant sign smashing down the phantom as a Coca Cola sign* Damn... Coca Cola kills covenant... they have my vote. Bye Bye Pepsi ! *lol*

Well, in any event, even a pittance sum of money wouldn't be bad. Bungie'd get some free texture work that they wouldn't have to design themselves.

Okay, Demolition level sponsorship... like "Let's go eat at Taco Bell" and a lecture on the "fast food wars of the early milennium" would be taking things a bit far... *LOL*

I was just thinking about posters in the background where you'd expect them to be.

You guys must have seen the Warthog Advertisement in the e3 2003 demo!

I've already stocked up on commercial gamertags: Keds, Chevrolet, Starbucks, coke a cola, DrPepper, Nike..

Big-name companies endorsing and funding developers really isn't that unlikely. On the contrary, it's almost a certainty. With video games becoming more and more popular, the movide industry as well as commercial companies (including Coke) have expressed a growing interest in video games and advertising. EA recently went through talks involving the possible merging with Warner Brothers (correct me if I'm wrong).

I think it's safe to assume that in the near future, Bungie's little April Fool's Day prank won't be that far off.

Yeah, it was posted on March 31st, but was ment to be an April fools joke... At least that's what everyone thinks.

I want to buy a sign in Halo 2 called bungie sellouts.

  • 06.06.2004 6:40 PM PDT

They want the 'Halo.' But I tell them: 'No! No Halo! For you, only the 'Frenzy'! The 'Frenzy' and maybe some 'Munch'

On April 1 this year, bungie said that there would be in game advertisements. IT WAS A JOKE!!! There's no way that bungie will have billboards advertising products. I think that could be the one thing that would ruin Halo 2.

Err, Leetard, that was the April Fool's Day joke I mentioned in my previous post.

Yogi, you beat me to it.

Okay, you're right - Starbucks will be found on every corner of New Mombasa and the Warthog has been replaced by a Chevrolet pick-up.

Did I say that? I'm only correcting the man who thinks the article was posted on April 1st.

It's the other way around.. I'd just blow up every Arby's, Starbucks, and Taco Bell I see. I think they should sponsor the players, not bungies sorry ass game.
