Modern Warfare... 3?

[Icemage]

Just saw this elsewhere and thought it would give others a chuckle, for however long it lasts.

Battlefield 3 : BF3 - EA Available 10.25.2011 <- this is "modernwarfare3.com"

Nice job, EA.

Could also be a hack. I checked the WHOIS registrations though, and came up with this.

Re: Modern Warfare... 3?

Wow, Domains by Proxy? I think that says it all. The address was registered in 2009, which is the year Modern Warfare 2 was released.
