Just woundering if someone else have noticed that the posters for ingame ads have changed?

It had something like this with some text on..

Think it was "We want you on the battlefield" or something..
I will post an ss from ingame around 12.00pm +1 GMT when im at my gaming computer, or if someone else post it.

Yeah I saw that one. We want you in the EU army or something. That was on Verdun I belive. Then in the one harbor map (I forgot the name) I saw another one ( it was different though. It had a picture of an EU soldier but I don't think it had any writing on it.)

Thats probably the ad space soon to have sweet merchandise hawked all over it. the ad hasn't been bought up yet, so might as well plug thier own shit. The world might not survive a global winter, but Snickers sure will!

Yeah I saw that too, was not sure if that was there before. Now I know it is new.

I think its EA testing to see if it works, expect pepsi and mcdonalds in no time.

I was roaming around in my sports-tank (i.e.: Nekomata) and almost ran right into one on Sidi. Shows how much I was paying attention. So, like eveything else that seems slightly our of place, added to the fact that I was bored (talk to my clanmates, not a good thing to have happen!), I shot it. I wasn't paying attention and shot the damn billboard

I'm from Australia, and I have those PAC and EU billboards. Does that mean I will get the ads? I guess they don't really bother me anyway.

Everyone's getting the Ads. Being in Australia only means you'll get ads they were paid for by Australian companies.

These are quite obviously placeholders.
I'd sure like to know if there are actually companies around that pay for that kind of advertising. Seems to be wasted money in a fast-paced game like this one where one usually focuses on what lies ahead instead of looking at the scenery to discover ads.
