Xbox players are greeted with a full-screen pop-up ad for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III when they boot up their Xbox console
- Thread starter Thick Thighs Save Lives
- Start date

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
"Play the campaign now"
Is it out already?

Yes for pre order and deluxe version right ? They give you campaign a week early nowadays if you do that.
Pre-order bonus, the campaign is playable now, the rest opens up next week.

Since 2h if you pre-ordered. But only the campaign. Zombies and MP will launch in a week.

That's complete garbage. Fuck that.
I was just coming around to dealing with this shitty UI change they did for the system. Ads like this are completely out of line. I don't care if you do that shit to casual gamers that don't know up from down, but there must be an opt out or I will be pissed. Same shit on my fucking Vizio TV now too.
The default option is buy now? So a fucking toddler can turn your console on and just hit A 3x and blow $100.

At least it's covering up all the other ads.

You have to amortize the purchase, they will try to sell you COD no matter what.

Awesome. They should advertise their first party games.

And if you complain, Microsoft will demand you return the console.

Why stop at this? Put ads during loading screens, during respawn times, during the credits, during the lobby area, during the matchmaking process, during the pause menu...woop the shit out, go full force with that. Theres aways few dumbos saying they don't care anyway.

They are sticking ads in like you only got the free version of your Xbox series OS. When's the pay for premium OS to remove ads go live? Hahaha

It's never an ad for something I want.

I'm reading that it doesn't pop for people in stand-by mode. Apparently, there were ones for the June Showcase, Starfield and Forza. I feel like I'm missing out. Sad.

You have cracked life. I guess if the mailman wants to fuck the spouse and has the decency of knocking on the door and asking, we should just say "No thanks".

Thanks for letting me know to stop giving this company any more money or attention.
This shit is fucking gross.
My opinion is that in a free market, if you're putting up with this, than you're actively choosing it and deserving of it, and on that path it will only get worse.
Microsoft and the people engaging in this lose my respect.

I meant that it's good to see they are. I'll put should in bold for it to make more sense.
Damn. I hate to lose respect. Is turning on my Xbox and closing it considered "engagement?"

I would pay money to NOT see this

Some people would call that an opportunity. If their spouse shacks up with the mailman they are off the hook on alimony. Freedom and keeping you money = 4 the gamers.

This whole company with their Free* on GamePass is gross.
I've never seen any company in videogames gaslight so crass as much as Microsoft.
During podcast
"Starfield wont cause Playstation players to sell their playstation"
During trial
"Ahh emails? Huh? Ohh! Thats just a Thought-Experiment"
If we all play everyone wins! ^_^.

I actually don't care if this is the default. When half of all GP subs haven't even tried Starfield, I genuinely believe discoverability is one of their biggest problems. Advertise to the morons that don't even know what release dates are.
But for fucks sake, bury an opt out in the options menu or I will be fucking pissed. This is completely ridiculous that your system defaults to "spend money" on one button press. That should literally be illegal. Not even safe to leave the console around kids without password blocking everything.

Just checked and yep, I got this when I booted up. Well that's completely obnoxious and annoying.

Xbox has always had ads. I remember getting ads on launch day on xbox one. I was like wtf is this.
This is a new low though and the future. Get used to it. Someone has to pay for the $70 billion purchase and it wont be satya nadella or phil spencer.

Lord... you guys are the worst with this Xbox pays their fans thing. I was joking/trolling with the "awesome" comment. I really don't see the splash as a big deal, and I probably won't even see it as I use the stand-by mode.
