Battlefield 3

Someone on the internet has been a sneaky, sneaky snake. If you type modernwarfare3.com into your browser, you’ll find yourself redirected to the Battlefield 3 home page. CVG report that the domain name was registered by a private user, so it could be EA, or a Battlefield fan pulling a fast one over Activision. Many will see it as the latest happening in a war of words between the two publishers over the two giant shooter franchises.

There’s more than three months to go until Battlefield 3 is released on October 25. If the EA/Activision conflict escalates at the same rate over the coming months then the two publishers could end up taking arms and doing battle on the streets of LA. Why can’t everyone just be friends? The two teams could merge and release Modern Battlefield 4: War of Warfare and rule the sales charts forever.

Call of Duty players can get some practice in for that at the upcoming Call of Duty XP live event, which will let ticket holders fight in a life-sized Modern Warfare 2 map, recreated as a paintball arena. Battlefield 3 fans can study the new class system and watch some tanks tear up a desert.

You want to talk about EPIC...I actually went to http://modernwarfare4.com/ and what quite surprised and happy to see what I found.  Hats off to the UK gaming community ZIIP for doing this!  I for one am fully on-board with what they are requesting, heck I'd probably buy and play another CoD game if they did it.  Below is an excerpt from the site...

Welcome to the ModernWarfare4.com Website. It would appear that Infinity Ward forgot to purchase this domain. No worries - We have good care of it.

There has been huge amounts of controversy about our actions. We won't go into details here, (but to read part the story, click here, then google for any more..) - what we will say, is that the domain was purchased by the UK based gaming community ZiiP. We have been wondering what to do with it for a while now.. threatening to hurt this clown that you see unless IW played ball...

Sadly, it would seem IW don't like clowns. They appear not to like PC Gamers either, as we were (like scores of others) extremely disappointed by there lack of dedicated server in the release of Modern Warfare 2.

We are not bad people. Therefore, we have decided to compromise on our previous demands of fast cars and cheap hookers in exchange for the domain. Instead, we would like IW to implement dedicated servers into MW2 for the good of the PC gaming community. We don't want IW.net. It wasn't asked for.
