I watched the New Mombasa video again, and when that gun pointed at the Hog sign, it just gave me an idea. Bungie could sell advertising space on random billboards and such on the levels of Earth. I think corporations would jump at the chance to put their company logo on a game with the largest hype. Just Imagine, your blasting up a squad of covenant, you take a look at a billboard, and you can actually hear Master Chief say, "mm, I could sure use a Coca Cola right now"

Bungie would not do that to their loyal fans. Not doing that sort of stuff is one of the things that separates Bungie from normal game companies.

For their plans of world domination, sure, they'll make a bundle off Halo 2, but they'll make a bundle more from advertising space :P

This is off topic, but Coke and Pepsi are -blam!- from a can, but the Coke rules in fountain drinks, Pepsi is just water super loaded with pepsi, Coke has syrup in it in the fountain :P

-S

Some might call that selling out, you know. ;)

That's never going to happen.

Things like that would ruin the feel of the game. We get too much advertising as it is in the real world, and we shouldn't have it taking up space in the video game world where we go to relax.

I think it would also make the game feel less 'genuine', and make Bungie lose some of their credability by selling game space for some cheap bucks.

yeah seriously. Bungie isn't that -blam!-. and besides, they're going to earn enough money off Halo 2, 3, 4, etc. they don't need to advertise.

Honestly, Bungie better not milk the series that far unless they're planning on large periods of time in between their games.

Why your uncle's?

I wouldn't mind seeing a few companies (tech-wise) like Apple (Bungie has to make it up to them somehow), Microsoft, and others. But other than that, I think the hog and other imaginary (but realistic) companies would be worth it.
