EA accused of ModernWarfare3 domain hijinks
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.”

Oasis Lol, "Modern Warfare 3 fanboys". Because they went to the effort of redirecting a website to BF3, Because these "fanboys" went to the effort of publicly hating on the campaign video.
What a bunch of lifers. Even if BF3 turns out to be an okay game I'll stay clear of it because I really don't want to play a game with people that would clearly jack EA off if it meant they earn't a secret gimp outfit for their character.
'BF fans, taking it too seriously since forever. COD fans, laughing at the jelly BF fans since 2007'
Agreed 100%. Especially about the last paragraph.
