Does he have an actual point?

Okay, this is just stupid.
I see the Awesomeness.
The article or the product placement?
Fight smart, not fair.
I'm guessing the article was an awareness piece. Unless his point was that we shouldn't let 10-year-olds play MW 3 (which it might be).
Corporate gun sponsorship seems like a logical if contentious step in realistic first-person shooters though. Not quite sure what I think about that (and maybe neither does the article's author).
Face Time
Yeah, copyright and licensing with regards to guns seems to be getting freer. For instance, Counter Strike: Global Offensive has the real names for the guns, as opposed to earlier installments where fake names were made (excluding the original mod, apparently).
EDIT: I shoulda also mentioned back when I made this post that I do think that this is in kinda poor taste, considering recent events.

Lots of discussion here about this, thought it was worth posting here.....
People seem to agree there it's a bit, uh, tacky, at least. I'm European and I'll stay out of it :P
