Counter-Strike Ads Q&A [December 08, 2006, 8:04 pm ET] - 4 Comments
CS-Nation (thanks Shacknews) has a Q&A with Valve's Doug Lombardi about plans to bring-in game advertising to Counter-Strike: Source: "We make these kinds of decisions with our entire community in mind, not just the people who play Counter-Strike. Our very first Counter-Strike experiment was actually a business-related one: Bringing the game to a retail audience when it was already available on the Internet as a free download seemed to the community like a pretty questionable choice — but it’s worked out well with the community becoming larger and stronger."

Still haven't seen an ad anywhere in BF2142. There is actually a mod out now where you can add pics of your own choice on the MT billboards in there

I've seen lots of ads in 2142....well only one many times. It's for the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU.

It seems more and more games are starting to do this, but for me I really dont pay much attention to the adds. Sometimes they are distracting though for example in Rainbow 6 Vegas one of the levels has you riding in a helicopter over Las Vegas at the beginning of the level and there are 4 giant as in building size Axe Spray billboards right in a row that you fly by. I can see 1 but 4 in a row? Its probably going to get worse as time goes on. But most of the time im to busy playing to read all the signs/posters in the level.
