Strat has a point. The exageration of those commercials makes them different from the cod ad. The average person can tell that the COD ads are rendered images, but they dont know the difference between pre-rendered and in game, and since the 360 is a new console that has nothing but "life-like" graphics hype all around it, its not that suprising this is an issue with the general public.

QuoteDisplay MoreCall of Duty Ads Called MisleadingFuture video game advertising could be impacted by ruling.
by Wade Steel
February 22, 2006 - In a decision that may have wide-ranging implications for the way videogames are advertised, a British consumer watchdog group has ruled that Activision's advertisements for its Call of Duty games are "misleading" and ordered them never to be shown in their present form again, according to a report at GamesIndustry.biz.
The complaint, which was filed by three consumers with the United Kingdom's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), centered around the television advertising for Activision's most recent entries in the Call of Duty series -- Call of Duty 2 for the PC and Xbox 360 and Call of Duty 2: Big Red One for current-generation consoles. According to the complaining parties, Activision's advertising was misleading because "the graphics used in the [advertisement] were superior to that of the game itself."
The subsequent investigation by the ASA revealed that the Broadcast Advertising Clearance Centre (BACC) -- a group responsible for the pre-transmission examination and clearance of television advertisements in the UK -- believed that the graphics in the advertisements were "scenes taken from the games themselves." It was only after contacting Activision itself to ask about the complaints that it was discovered that the graphics were "computer-generated scenes...produced solely for the ads."
According to the ASA, this revalation "immediately made the ads unacceptable for broadcast" because the ads did not reflect the quality of the actual graphics which would be present in the games themselves. The ASA ruled that because the ads were misleading, they could no longer be shown in their present form.
Activision attempted to counter the ASA ruling by stating that such use of pre-rendered footage represented a "common industry practice" and that the company had acted in "good faith." The ASA rejected this argument on the grounds that it was an "insufficient" defense of the advertisements.
While the ASA's authority does not extend beyond the United Kingdom, industry analysts believe that it may very well set a precedent across the industry on an international level as developers and publishers approach the use of pre-rendered footage with more caution out of fear of similar consumer reactions.
I'm reminded of what EA was/is doing with Madden and what Sony did with Killzone 2. We as hardcore gamers and developers realize the difference between pre-rendered and gameplay shots, but unfortunatly, we are a minority.
Discuss. Who's right here? Activision or the ASA? It's understandable that eveyone in the industry does this to some extent, but to do it during the release of a next-gen system?
