GrindPantera95 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Wow this is pretty stupid. I guess they didn't think that IW could, as people have said, use a different name for the domain. I mean WOW! Modern Warfare 4. 2 hasn't even come out yet. Edit: It's like blackmailing Nintendo to give them a Wii on the day the SNES came out!

KFZ Scrubs Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Maybe they will just stop at Modern Warfare 2.... I hope they don't.... i pray to god they don't. I mean the first modern warfare was fucking epic, and modern warfare 2 looks to be twice as epic..... by using that math, modern warfare 4 will be 4 times as epic!

Pixelated Punk Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I highly doubt infinity ward will do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantViper Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Doesn't this happen all the time, moreso with movies? I've definitely heard of this happening before. Nevertheless, I'm definitely buying modernwarfare27.com because it's inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xz3non Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Isn't "Modern Warfare" copyrighted by Infinity Ward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royle Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 The francise is but not the two words so anyone else can use them how they please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khamelion Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 why didn't they just save the money from buying the domain and use that to buy mw4? wonder what would happen if they stopped with 3 and started futuristic warfare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they're idiots who want to get attention and they'll just lose a lot more money than they needed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawq902 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 They won't be giving them any free games. Their is so many possibilities other than that domain name for MW4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N-Forced Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Sound like they are just trying to get publicity for their shitty website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark lord me Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Sound like they are just trying to get publicity for their shitty website. I might understand that if it was a real site and not just saving it to blackmail them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhorns Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 It's working, their site is getting so much more traffic. They aren't even serious about it. "I don't think I could have put the ZiiP name around more globally if I had tried! All for a £6 domain name!" "This is all very tongue-in-cheek. We are not holding IW to ransom. If they really want the domain, they can have it - hopefully without snotty letters from lawyers," he said. "We hope they see the funny side..."

VladimirK Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 It'll never work. "If you are, there is a chance that you may well require this domain. Don't worry, you can have it - in exchange for a little 'good will gesture' for the little gaming community that owns this domain and has been playing your games for years. "What we'd like is a copy of the game that this domain would be used for, - one copy for each and every member of our gaming community. They have shown why they registered the domain name in that part there. And from that it is showing that it's for the sole purpose of getting free stuff of the franchise of the same name from IW. Won't last 2 mins in court, especially against the fact that IW/Activision would take good lawyers with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhorns Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 The people that bought the domain don't want to go to court over it. They've already made the statement that they would give them the site if IW really wanted it that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tussell Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 It's not that hard to get around it... http://www.modernwarfareiv.com http://www.mw4.com http://www.modernwarfarefour.com All of the above domains are available. Even if someone buys the above domains, there's still other combinations that could still relate to 'Modern Warfare 4'. There's ways around it. I think it's a clever idea, don't get me wrong, but they didn't do too much thinking with their little con-job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xevilai Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Lol, just people trying to get attention. As a lot of other users have posted, IW could easily just take it from them. Also, they could just go around it with other website names like http://www.mw4.com, or something like that. These kids won't get what they want, unless IW decides to be nice on the matter anyway. They also fail to see that IW could just use a page like modernwarfare4.infinityward.com or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telexen Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Complete morons. They don't have to get around it...they don't have to pay. Infinity Ward actually has a legal right to that domain, and trying to sell it to them could be illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xevilai Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Well said, they could easily take it from them. I doubt IW would actually bother though. They were probably going to use a different domain name anyway :S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kar980 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 my friend you think that infinity ward will be that retarted my good friend they have some tricks up thier sleves and i guarentee you that the next CoD they produce being modern warfare 4 will possibly be changing its name it will not be modernwarefare 4 because y the time it comes out the developers will have a better name so therefoe ziip gaming can run and go f them self cause infinityward can do what they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gariom Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 They could easily call Modern Warfare 4 something else with Modern Warfare still in the name. And then if there's a fifth one they could just slap 5 back on it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
