Bobby Kotick and his coterie of soul-sucked, bloodless revenants have been filing domain registrations for the franchise like it&rsquo;s going out of business. Which it&rsquo;s clearly not.<\/p>\n<p>The guys over at <a href=\"http:\/\/supererogatory.tumblr.com\/post\/596092270\/created-on-2010-05-11\" target=\"_blank\">Superannuation<\/a> have dug up registrations including www.callofdutyfuturewarfare.com, www.callofdutywarfare2.com, and www.callofdutyfuturewarfare2.com. Yes, really. Then there&rsquo;s also www.spacewarfare2.com (presumably The Search for Space Warfare 1), www.spacewarfare3.com, www.secretwarfare2.com, and www.secretwarfare3.com. But wait, there&rsquo;s more! That&rsquo;s www.advancedwarfare2.com and www.advancedwarfare3.com.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly enough, there&rsquo;s no registration for www.spacewarfare.com nor www.advancedwarfare.com, although there&rsquo;s a pre-existing www.secretwarfare.com domain owned by a Norwegian company unaffiliated with Activision. Quick, there&rsquo;s a cheap, dirty, and immensely ironic opportunity to make some cash here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php?5827-Activision-registers-multple-obscure-CoD-domain-names&amp;p=221449#post221449\" target=\"_self\">Discuss Activision&#8217;s new URLs<\/a> in the forums<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ll be able to tell your great-great-grandkiddies you were there when it all began<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6019"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6019\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
