In a move that perhaps kicks off what will be an intense six months of
campaigning and rivalry, it has been discovered that the URL
www.ModernWarfare3.com redirects to the homepage of rival game
Battlefield.
The URL appears to have been registered anonymously, though some – such
as Future site GamesRadar – are openly pointing the finger at
Battlefield publisher EA.
Kotaku reckons that prior to the redirect the site contained an
anti-Call of Duty video and the following text:
“Modern Warfare is crap. On November 8th, 2011, the most over-hyped
first-person action series of all-time returns with the copy and paste
sequel to the lackluster Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
“Check out the E3 2011 gameplay demo featuring the Black Tuesday level
for a look at the epic fail of the campaign. Pre-Order Call of Duty MW3
Today for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC to secure exclusive bonuses only
available online for Modern Warfare 3 fanboys who don't know that
Battlefield 3 is the better game.”
