Why am I getting a full screen ad for CoD?

Hi Sean! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with the Xbox ads. No worries, let me help you sort this out.

It's important to note that this is a public user-to-user community forum, and none of us here work for Microsoft.

Based on the information I've gathered, it appears this is part of Microsoft's campaign to promote Call of Duty to all Xbox gamers and a lot of gamers were also complaining about the full-screen pop-up ads for Modern Warfare 3. It's understandable others find this practice irritating, particularly if they were never interested in Call of Duty as a franchise, or even as part of its genre.

In this case, I highly suggest you submit your feedback directly to the Xbox Team regarding this in order for them to properly review your concern. Kindly check out the detailed instructions using this link:

Hello Sober A, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I apologize for any frustration or inconvenience caused by the full screen ad you encountered when turning on your Xbox. However, I do not have access to real-time information or control over Xbox advertising practices or settings.

The ad you saw may have been part of a promotional campaign or temporary event. Console manufacturers and game publishers occasionally run marketing campaigns that include ads on the console's home screen. These ads are usually intended to promote new games, services, or other content.

Please remember that advertising-related policies and settings may change over time, so it's always a good idea to stay up to date with the latest information provided by Xbox.

I understand that encountering unexpected ads can be frustrating, luckily this ad disappears when you press a button on the console so we must wait for the campaign to finish since we do not have a way to deactivate it.

I hope this helps.
Best regards.
