Many of you have seen the commercials for Call of Duty 2 (Xbox 360) and Call of Duty 2: Big Red One (Xbox, PS2) The ads don't show the actual gameplay but pre-rendered footage. This isn't the first game commercial that has done this but...it is the first one that was to be taken off the air by a British consumer watchdog group from its present form because it was "misleading"
I for one don't like that game companies try to make games look better than they are. It makes it seem like the company isn't even proud of what the game looks like, which is especially odd for Call of Duty 2 on 360 that game looks amazing. We may see alot more ads of actual gameplay soon.
On the other hand I find it odd that the watchdog group would go through so much trouble, I haven't seen one of the commercials for either games since fall.
