Activision is looking to seize control of ModernWarfare3.com after the website was found redirecting to the official Battlefield 3 website.
The website domain name, which is not owned by Activision or Electronic Arts, takes jabs at the Modern Warfare series by saying, among other things, “Modern Warfare 3 is an copy and paste experience that looks exactly like Modern Warfare 2…”
Activision has apparently had enough, and after the website recently began redirecting users to Battlefield 3, the publisher filed a first domain name dispute compliant on Friday, spotted by Fusible.com, requesting control over the domain name.
“It appears that the Respondent supports the game Battlefield from the game developer Electronic Arts (“EA”),” the complaint reads. “EA is one of Complainant’s principal competitors in the video game industry, and Battlefield game competes in the marketplace with Complainant’s MODERN WARFARE games and its other military-themed shooter games in the CALL OF DUTY series.”
