GoDaddy Rats Out the ModernWarfare3.com Owner
That man, in question, is Anthony Abraham from Miami, Florida. His trolling and obvious dislike of Activision has landed him in more hot water than he’d expected. Activision’s filed a domain name dispute with the National Arbitration Forum, and now that they know who Abraham is, he is pretty screwed. At the moment, the ModernWarfare3.com URL just brings up an error, as opposed to the Monty Python spoof video that was on through the weekend.
While all of this is pretty frigging funny, Activision has kind of brought this on themselves. They knew good and well that with the success of Modern Warfare 2 that there’d be a Modern Warfare 3, Infinity Ward issues be damned. It’ll be interesting to see what happens to Abraham in the end. In the meantime, I’d like to award Mr. Abraham with the “Troll of the Year” award.
Of course, even with all this trolling, it won’t matter until Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 duke it out on October 25 and November 8, respectively, of this year.

EradicationX Until battlefield and MW2 duke it out? That's just ridiculous.
We all know that MW2 will dominate battlefield 3, I mean it's just obvious.
However, we all know that Battlefield is the better game.
Let's do some math here, shall we?
Battlefield = Great party game. Played buy laid back older people, that just want to have some good ole' fashioned fun.
CoD = Fast paced. Played buy groups of fat and angry 13-15 year old losers, AKA "Clans."
Seeing as in America, 13-14 year old age group, are the majority of gamers.
Thus making MW2 outsell Battlefield.
Do you mean mw3???

CerebalAsassin Personally if he bought the domain prior to any copyright filing, he owns the domain without any infringing. I mean really, he legally purchased prior to modern warfare 3 being trademarked by activision then he is in no way at fault. That'd be like me buying xbox.com before the xbox was even thought of, then ms saying I am infringing on them. BS if you ask me.
Modern Warfare is already a trademark on it's own.
Common sense is also used when dealing with trademarks and stuff :)

Celtics he legally bought the domain so he can do what he wants with it
But he was illegally using CoD/Ativision/MW3 trademarks.

Arrow They are both going to be great games. Fortunately the Multiplayer of Call of Duty series is so damn addictive and fun so it will win the war once again.i couldent agree more
battlefield is fun and stuff but cod is more of my type of game and will win once again :D until GTA 5 comes and beats all games!!
