So as many fans know, EA DICE's Daniel Matros is in Cologne, Germany for a community event to present their upcoming Battlefield 3 game to the German community.

Matros tweeted that an ESL representative was at the event. This comes as good news since ESL is one of the biggest e-sport organizations in the world, and was most likely interested in the E-Sport features of Battlefield 3.

However, this news wouldn't be important at all if Daniel Matros didn't tell us about an ESL representatives being knifed while watching an in-game ad on one of the Battlefield 3 maps!

With this bit of info, it seems that BF3 will have various ads all through out the game! This is good for the e-sport scene since this will allow companies to host and sponsor Battlefield 3 events worldwide while still doing their company marketing strategies within the game!

this would help EA to make a lot of money such as Nike advertising

This is actually a really good idea,


if its all like on posters and billboards it will ad (see what i did there) a new depth into the realism of the game:bro:

I find it odd that in games they choose to use fake ads because I have always found it cool to see real ads in the game :P Claps

Somebody, somewhere, at some point in time, would always be looking at that piece of advertisement.


Well fast food companies and likewise places are usually going for the family friendly look, and that would not go well with a mature rated game.

I think this is a cool idea but kinda of pointless for bk or mcdonalds. They already have like 1million stores worldwide its good for ea and other companies more money=better game community but the most these adds might do is maybe remind you that you would like a big mac or a quarter pounder. All in all i thinks it would kinda be a waste of money for burger king or mcdonalds and a really smart idea for ea.
