Has anyone seen a real ad in this game yet? I've just seen placeholders, which are acceptable I guess. Even the ads for in-game products look out of place. Seriously, war-torn, third world africa has massive billboards all over the place? If you haven't seen any yet just wait until you get to the second area, they're all over the place and in the most bizarre locations, really takes you out of the atmosphere.

I shudder to think how cheap the game will look when they activate ad streaming.

I did, in the form of product placement. (one of the vehicles is a Jeep, logos and all)

I had this discussion some time ago if it was realistic or not.

And pictures of a wartorn Libanon was brought up with smashed buildings and bloodied bodies in the background being helped by others, and guess what? A huge board with a coca-cola ad or something to that nature.

So no, it's not ALL that unrealistic.
