So you're playing Killzone Multiplayer and just make a nigh on impossible head shot when "BOOM, drink Coca Cola!" and then you're put back 3 seconds before you took the shot and the guy decides to head in a different direction... OK...

I wouldn't mind if the adverts were, say, on billboards. Those games are generally set in depict urban landscapes where such things would be expected. So an advert for fizzy sugared on a poster would not seem out of place. To interrupt a game in the way you describe seems idiotic. Would everyone in the multiplayer game see ads at the same time? I guess they would have to or the game would somehow become unbalanced and fragmented. I would expect this would kill the free/freemium game market pretty quickly if they implemented it.

I'd also go out of my way to avoid whatever product they were advertising.

Wow. That's what I've wanted for years - especially for that authentic tropical island feel in FarCry. No, seriously - I've been talking about this since the early nineties. It's a superb idea. I am of course being sarcastic. Tossers

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
