Re: Your thoughts on in-game advertisements

I agree with Woodrow, and I personally cant stand the amount of billboards in 2142! Damn, they probablt spent half of the development selling each billboard. I hate how they push the ads.

Re: Your thoughts on in-game advertisements

Frankly I just ignore them like most adds i see... But it does seem kinda natural to see billboards in game now. They can be good cover once in a while.. big_smile

I hope there are some Imperial recruitment adds and other wacky stuff.

I wonder if it could be used to release news about the mod.  New version billboards n such..

Re: Your thoughts on in-game advertisements

Ya I dont think I would mind some posters with the latest blastech weapons and 501st banners and such.  Adds dont tend to bother me much, I look at them know where they are and continue on playing the game, I think the only billboard ive ever seen in starwars are flying ships with big displays...so i dont think billboards could be much of a problem on the ground smile

Re: Your thoughts on in-game advertisements

I actually used a billboard to hide behind during my sniping trips. I would love to see AD's of Starwarsy things, like for random things like some soft drink that is popular in the galaxy tongue

Re: Your thoughts on in-game advertisements

I think we could further that idea a little YES to 501st ads but we could also possibly look at some "Charity" ads perhaps ?

Oh, 501st "ads" in the form of propaganda posters I have no problem with.

Charity? I can just picture a poster in Aurabesh asking me to donate to Amnesty Interplanetary or the Bespin Red Cross tongue . Or... no. No.

Re: Your thoughts on in-game advertisements

Definitely include charity ads. Its a free method of raising money for charity, and who's going to argue with that? You can even make it Star Wars appropriate. "Donate your credits to Oxfam today, helping those families who lost a man on the Death Star. Beat the Rebels. Donate to charity."
