Do you remember when modernwarfare3.com was redirecting users to battlefield.com? Well, that story ended a couple of days ago in court with Activision winning the case. Now, the legal team at Activision has a new case on their hands.
modernwarfare4.com isn’t owned by Activision but the site takes slight digs at Activision by subtly promoting Battlefield 3. The whole site is just a FAQ page. When you visit the site, you will find these remarks from the owner. They answered whether Activision is trying to “assault” the site with “Yes, but we counte[re]d it with a squad of Battlefield 3 soldiers. They soon ran. I think you are confusing reality and gaming again.” It’s worth noting that the guys behind the site claim that they’re not seeking ransom from Activision, or as they put it “No. Personally, we don’t care – and want no money. We took this domain for opportunistic giggles.” They even claim that if the mega publisher “were” able to buy the domain from them, they would “ask [Activision] for a donation to a charity of my choice. Probably Help for Heroes – you know, those guys that don’t get the ability to respawn when the timer hits zero…”
They closed the statement by saying “Well, I’m buying Battlefield 3.. Fancy a game?”

Well Activision won modernware3 website back thorough court. They’ll do the same with this one.
anyway no one cares about modern warfare 4. I can guarantee you no one is going to visit that site any time soon.(well maybe now that you linked to it)
did they win the other website modernware3 .com ? or did they get the details relived ? i was reading on an MW3 blog that they have a pirate name register and they did not know who owned it a EA worker or some fan. they then contacted the guy and had all that stuff removed. they did not get it in court but they got the persons info so they could contact and if need be do legal action.
I removed the link because it didn’t go to the page you’re referring to.
Please reply with the proper link.
arghh, this crap again, in any case mw3 ends with 3, this is not new, in the past the guy who bought the mw4 site said that he is holding hostage the site unless activision pays, it was roughly before the release of mw2.
I guess he found a new way to come on to, poor troll he is.
modernwarfare4.com Wants You to Play Battlefield 3? The site talk’s about a guy getting bf3 how you took that from it is messed up but I guess it get’s people to view your article, lol look at all the comments and ya wonder why no one take’s net forums seriously
