Call me a troll or not, but everyone must admit one thing: A huge chunk of Halo's audience is under 17.
Microsoft will never cave to J.T. simply because of that fact.

Today, Ads are mainly used to trick someone into clicking them (and therefore showing a slew of popups, or installing nasty spyware).
One of my earliest memories (when I was young, and AOL was somewhat useful) is going to a website and seeing an ad that was in the style of a message box and said "Warning: You have new email!". Being young and stupid, I would always click it and never figure out how to fix this "error". If ads were more upfront and said "Hey, we're gonna install this AWESOME toolbar for IE", maybe I'd have more respect for these companies.
