Never look at them. According to IGN, the software monitors how long you look at the ads. If nobody looks at them, the advertisiers will be wasting money and will withdraw their sponsorship.

Please, do not look at in-game ads.

Someone just HAD to add that then didn't they T#1S...
I reckon on the games release people will be interested in the Ads - it's a new gimmik. However after a while they will get stale and repediive like Fancy_Pollux and people will just stop noticing them.
The software by the way, is no different from the software used to moniter your in-game stats, so it's not spyware. Still, kind of sucks that we're not getting any benefits from EA for this. Hopefuly when 'booster packs' come out they'll be free.

Its the lag I'm concerned about. I have wireless already, I can't afford fto have some stupid video playing at me.

Hmm, wonder if you could park vehicles over them...

I played two rounds and have not seen a single add. I know that they are there but I guess I am too busy having the most fun I've had in a long time to care.

Ok, you'd miss out on this game because of some silly ads? We see ads everywhere in life, the net, while driving, while watching TV. When do you actually read them? I don't, so who cares.

I can see some fool staring at a Victoria's ad and get knifed, though. ROFL

If you see this ad, don't look at it. Sounds like what the British government sent out on leaflets in the 70's about atomic explosions. There was a picture of massive mushroom cloud and written underneath was "If you see this, don't look at it".

This is my plan of action. I have been very unimpressed with 2142, and the whole in-game adds pretty much piss me off.

If everyone stops buying the game, it will make a pretty powerful statement.

Why pay $50 US for a bloody game that has ads in it? The least they could do is drop the price down drastically.

$50 US for a game that doesn't work right, and is already being patched. No way, man. No sir.

tried the game didnt like it 1)glitchy 2)lack of effort put into it 3)10more patches on the way 4)people using MSX hacks 5)no obvious graphical imporvement 6)puts tracking software on your computer but still hardware maintains full price and cant return game 7)people that use impossible tactics to get a kill 8)no blood splatter yet its rated T 9) admins kick/ban for language even though on the box say experience my change during online play 10)Ea/dice lack of policing their games the list goes on

If killzone 2 comes for pc (doubt it) ill get that
