    Jau, wer es vielleicht noch nicht mitbekommen hat, die große Schlacht zwischen Battlefield 3 und Modern Warfare 3 geht in eine neue Runde.
    Angefangen hat das ganze mit der lustigen domain modernwarfare3.com. Die hat sich vor Jahren irgendjemand zu eigen gemacht der sich nun als absoluter BF fanboi herausstellt. Während vor einigen Wochen noch diverse Kommentare über MW3 dort zu lesen waren, hat die Seite einen zumindest die letze Woche per direktlink auf die original Battlfield3 seite gebracht. in der Zwischenzeit wurde wieder das alte outfit angenommen.

    Mittlerweilen hat auch Activison mitbekommen was da läuft und versucht nun natürlich wieder an die domain heranzukommen. :rofl:

    ch sagte ja bereits das es total verwirrend ist, wie Krupp bereits erwähnte iund ich auch in meinem ersten Post geht es hier tatsächlich nur um eine Aktualisierung des Gesetzes. Es wird nichts neues verboten sondern lediglich an die heutige Zeit angepaßt soweit ich das nun verstanden habe. Ich hab mal den momentanen Gesetzes-Text und dann quasi den neuen in einen Spoiler gepackt:

    Jau, ich weiß nicht wer es hier schon mitbekommen hat oder sich damit auseinandergesetzt hat. Die netten Typen aus Übersee haben wieder mal einen genialen Gesetzesentwurf der für allerhand wirbel sorgt. Im genauen ist es an und für sich nur eine Überarbeitung bzw. Aktualisierung der alten Gesetze. Trotzdem weiß keiner was Sache ist und die Panik ist groß.

    Wie ist eure Meinung dazu?
