"Modern Warfare 3 isn't supposed to kick off until November, but a dispute over a website devoted to the game is already flaring up. According to a report on domain-tracking blog Fusible, Activision is looking to sieze ownership of ModernWarfare3.com through a complaint filed with the National Arbitration Forum.


Activision was not amused when ModernWarfare3.com sent visitors to the official Battlefield 3 site.
Originally registered in March 2009, ModernWarfare3.com bills itself both as "a 100 percent unofficial fan site dedicated to the Modern Warfare series," as well as "a parody of Modern Warfare 3." While the site has for some time openly criticized the Activision shooter as a retread of the series, it drew particular attention recently when it temporarily forwarded all ModernWarfare3.com traffic to the official website of Electronic Arts' competing military shooter Battlefield 3. In its complaint, Activision described the forwarding as retaliation for a take-down notice it sent related to copyrighted content that had previously appeared on the site."
