F2P would be terrible in a Blizzard MMO. If they started doing that they'd prob only patch every six months, recycle assets for 99 percent of new content, start peddling hoards of overpriced nonsense on a cash shop and whine at people "expecting them to have unlimited resources" whenever something they've been promising for years is brought up!
So Blizzard is making Second Life, F2P with microtransactions and advertisement? This will be a game for the Facebook generation, not an actual game. They're going to capitalize on that market in such a way that it will crush Zynga in one fell swoop.

I dont really think so.
For ads to work you need player to see them.
And to keep players you need content.
Dont provide content player count will drop and so you're demand for ad space.
I hope i got that right. Seems like a simple cause of supply and demand.

I love the wording. Love to know how you plan to enhance my gameplay experience with advertising.
How could anybody be distracted by this?Pretty sure they had advertising billboards in the OG Planetside, wasn't really that distracting as ar as I remember.
Or have somebody on staff that works with the art team to fit any ads into the style of the world and has some kind of editorial authority on whether an ad is even applicable to the setting or not.If it is sci-fi, there should a rule: only company logos, nothing else.
Is it weird that the fact that it says Damn It instead of Dang It upsets me a lot?
they said long ago that titan wasn't going to be another "hardcore" MMO but a casual one. I think a lot of people are going to be very upset when titan Is finally revealed.

The 'it's called drifting!' fast and furious ads complete with sound and music playing when you were near them weren't distracting? I think you are remembering wrong dude.
Please don't be a modern setting. That's is just fucking boring.
what are the chances that this Titan mmo is related to the Titan mmo that ensemble studio was working on?
and tied to these rumors

0% percent chance. Microsoft was concerned that the MMO could tarnish the Halo brand, so they want it to stay dead.what are the chances that this Titan mmo is related to the Titan mmo that ensemble studio was working on?

So no monthly fee right ?
Because i'm not paying 12 bucks a month to see advertising.
the only things they've said is the game is a new ip, won't be a wow clone, and would have a variety of environment types ranging from sci-fi, post apocalyptic, etc.
Edit: An analyst is the one that said casual not Blizzard. That same dumb ass also said he expected the game to be out in 12-24 months as of June 2011 which obviously isn't remotely close to happening.
I thought this was interesting because there are only a certain number of settings you are likely to have real life advertisements in.

1. It's going to be Sci-Fi
2. It's going to be an MMOFPS.
3. Many former Bungie employe's are working on it with Blizzard.
4. It will be F2P
All three of these things were stated by the guy who runs mmo-champion. He has not been wrong about one thing Blizzard related in half a decade. I do not think he is wrong about this.
On a side note, 2013 is possible. mmo-champion first leaked information about Titan in 2007, with rumors dating back to 2006. 2013 would mean almost 7 years of development. It is very possible Titan is announced at Blizzcon this year, which many think it will be. Then released holiday 2013. If not Q1 2014. With a beta coming spring 2013.
with rumors dating back to 2006.
The leaked product schedule said Q4 2013, so you're last paragraph is likely. Announced this year at Blizzcon, public/open beta in summer 2013, and release at the end of November 2013.
