Just an idea. I am noticing the game is a little bland visually in comparison to other games. An abandoned cityscape to me should have dilapidated signs & advertising, an inclination that the civilians once existed, but have been forced on.
Could this be used by an advertiser as a paid advertising opportunity. Think would be cool to see "coca cola" & "Macs" signs from old billboards, etc. Could this be used as another revenue source to help develop the game? Good idea?

Maybe, but it could also be a road to licencing issues or some other pseudo-political crap.
If it happens I will not complain
If it doesn't I won't miss it.

I played an NC soft game called exsteel, when times got rough they tried to add more and more in game advertising. It got to the point where the launch pads for the mechs had a big tabula rasa picture with "enroll today" in all caps. I can tell you this seemed silly and pointless to me. If MWO was to do advertising the best way would be to have a message on the loading screen saying this game hosted by Pepsi or what not, leave the in game adds out.

I see no problem either way (load screen and/or in-game billboards). In fact, do both. More money for PGI that helps keep this game going.
How about a pole?

Was just thinking that the advertising within the game's graphics (cityscapes) less obtrusive to us players but still of a high profile for the advertiser.

When CW comes out each House could have a sponsor, when you cap it raises their logo etc.

Build a good econmic system for the game, then have players pay MC's for adverts in cityscapes.

Merc corps could advertise (using MC) to have them appear on billboards ingame. That would be kinda cool
