I wouldnt mind blowing away that obnoctous fast food clerk that spat in your food. Or that jerk manager who didnt take your complaint seriously. That would be nice to have a Taco Bell in the game.

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.

Twelve Large, did I read that correctly? "Bungie's sorry ass game."

I'll leave the flaming to everyone else.

Wow, some people can take a serious topic and twist into a face in no time flat.

Though totally stupid and a complete different I wouldn't mind seeing the Master Chief get into one of those sports cars in New Mombasa for some quick speed kamikaze fun.

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

My mistake on the date of the article. Either way, the article was taken down a few days later, along with several other obvious joke articles. Halo 2 will not have in game sponsors.

A shame though.

Still, I hope we'll see faded bullet ridden marine recruitment posters and othe fictional advertisements in their place.

i'm not going to go too deep into the whole "selling out" issue, because it's not a decision to be made by any of us. making a quick and easy buck is well and good, but what about that little thing called integrity? i for one would be shocked to learn that bungie is sucking satan's pecker. and quite frankly it would sicken me to see coke, or pepsi, or even mountain dew on some billboard in HALO2. having in-game endorsements would be nothing more than a distraction, and would not be worth whatever money is paid. of course, you can't really blame bungie if someone came at them with a real tender offer. but they should only be allocated a tiny little space in the game. like a bumper sticker on some random car.

As long as it doesnt get in our way. If i see an easter egg or a cutscene with a marine drinking coke or coors light i wont mind. But if it just litters the screen with advertisement im going to scream, Its almost the end of human life and they're trying to make money off COKE?

Hell, if they did have adds, why not use Alcoholic Drinks? I would love to see my MC with a huge Guinness logo on his back or even see a Jack Daniels bottle being drunk by a Sotally Tober Marine.

I think Bunige could make there own sponsorship's by having Grunty bar's
or Bungie's cigars or heck Elite comdom's.
abit like Abe Odyssey's sponsorship poster's.

We're not talking about advertisements on the level of Revenge of the Killer Tomatoes.

Halo2 is already going to have advertisements in game. You can see them in New Mombasa when you're driving around in Warthogs and Ghosts.

It would be stupid to have advertisements just about everywhere. How would you explain a Mitsubishi ad while on a Covenant cruiser?

If done, it would be done for effect and I'm sure Bungie could do it tastefully.

The ads wouldn't be all that serious. They'd be in-game jokes like the lost calico cat on the bulletin board on the PoA.

it'd be cool if you went by a shop and if you scoped into it you could see halo action figures in the shelves. i have no objections to the odd coke or pepsi sign or even a mcdonalds on one of the human vessels in the canteen

it really isnt a new thing either.. in PGR1.. if u look close enuf.. and suk like i do.. u notice that there are a lot of ads hidden in the cities.. but c'mon poeple... SLIGHTLY excessive here..might be good for comic relief and stuff.. but seriously... do you think bungie would sell out to corporate names for a quick buck in the game?

Twelve Large ²

An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.

I wonder what a coke machine looks like in 2552? What do billboard signs and Arby's buildings look like in 2552? What about the kick ass futuristic playgrounds in the back of all these fast food joints? The slides will be like 200 ft. tall and will have elevators that lift the kids to the top. Or what about a condom dispenser in the mens restroom? Or do they still have -blam!- dispensers for the ladies? You walk into the bathroom and it's completely sponsored by - Johnson & Johnson, Tampax, Dial Soap, and so on.. Don't forget the toilet paper sponsor and paper towel sponsor.

maybe they don't have vending machines and have replicators like star trek. "i'd like a diet coke please cortana, extra cold."

I wouldnt mind becuase bungies artists and stuff will put it somewhere where you can see it but it wont mess up ur gameplay like that warthog sign that could be a coke sign instead

What would be great is if the billboard that the phantoms shoots down and lands on him had the lost calico cat thing on it, that would be amazing lol, but a subtle whay to do it is, if you are ina cafeteria or a house and you see like a coke bottle or something on a table, it would seem decent i suppose
