The UK's Ad Standards Agency (ASA) has ordered Activision to pull a series of TV ads for Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty: Big Red One. The ASA's decision apparently comes after viewers complained that Activision had engaged in 'misleading advertising' by using CG graphics in the ads, instead of gameplay footage. Oooh snap!

Could this mean the end for EA's fake 'concept' videos as well? Let's hope so.
