...if you did.. join the discussion.

What happens now? Is it something Activision can sue? ..or is it something Bobby Kotick stomp on the ground and throw hissy fit because he can't do anything about it?


Either way, I find this fucking hilarious.

Well played EA, well played.

I..
Um..

Props. Made me laugh.

 

[lion el jhonson]

well played sir... well played...
as long as it pisses of Kotick I say jolly good show

 

[Sneaky Paladin]

I think that's just amazing, not sure if Bobby is gonna do something or not though.

 

[Nickompoop]

Wow, EA actually does some good marketing for once. I guess they made some adjustments to their marketing department after the whole Dead Space incident.

 

[Luk3us]

lol.. Nice one EA.

 

[Scizophrenic Llama]

Holy shit, that is awesome.

I can see much raging on hardcore fanboys of Call of Duty.

If only there was this somewhere on the page...

Spoiler

Although it is entirely possible EA had nothing to do with it. Not too hard to buy out a domain and have it re-route to the Battlefield site, but it just makes it that much more awesome to assume EA did it.

Checked to see the domain registry details - sadly registered through Domains By Proxy, so can't know for sure if it really was EA, DICE, or a BF fan ...
Doesn't really matter though - u mad activision?

It was probably a fan of Battlefield trolling.
IT would be funnier if it was EA's doing though.

 

[Legendairy314]

Ha! I doubt even the normal COD player would fall for it but it's sure to tick quite a few people off. Either way kudos to EA. Always liked them ever since I paid a visit to their headquarters in LA.

I've got to admit... that's pretty funny. Nicely done, EA.

 

[SmilingWorlock]

lol. took my a while to realize what's the big deal. I look for something funny at the site, to me all those shooters are the same

 

[Bags159]

I don't get the joke. I click a link for MW3 and it takes me to MW3's site.

 

[Canid117]

Oh this is going to go over well...

 

[infohippie]

I don't get the joke. I click a link for MW3 and it takes me to MW3's site.

Did it really? Might wanna click it again and take a harder look at the destination.

I was making a joke that MW3 and BF3 look the exact same.

Wow. I totally missed that. Sorry.
