Go to modernwarfare3.com, get redirected to Battlefield 3 website

Black Ops

The battle lines have been drawn between the 2 major FPS titles to be released before Christmas this year with both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 getting tremendous amounts of attention since E3. One unknown fan of Battlefield 3 took the war to the next level by redirecting modernwarfare3.com to the Battlefield 3 official website.

The domain had been privately registered in 2009, catching Activision asleep at the domain-buying wheel. Before the redirect, the site featured the video below and said that COD was “the most over-hyped first-person action series of all time” while calling MW3 “the copy and paste sequel” to MW2.

No official word from Activision or EA yet.

Here’s the video that used to be on the site:
