EA Registers Battlefield Domains for Battlefield 13 to Battlefield 20

[Shawn Zipay]

I hope you like the Battlefield series, because EA is turning them up to 20! Well, maybe they are. As a bit of a pre-emptive move to secure the rights to the domains in case they make that many, EA has recently registered domains for Battlefield 13 through to Battlefield 20.

This move happened on May 2 when EA snatched up those names through Corporation Service Company. These domains are added to the Battlefield.com through Battlefield9.com domains that EA already owns. Unfortunately, Battlefield10.com through Battlefield12.com are owned by others. This also follows a move in April 2012 that saw EA picking up BF4.com from its former owner for $9,000 (USD).

$9000? That's it? I would've gone for way more.

The way the internet naming laws are written they probably could have sued the person for them for squatting.

signa: Rock Paper Shotgun beat you to it, and as strange as this sounds, I'm not kidding at all. 22's up for grabs tho... Nope that goes to a Ready Up writer's Twitter. Um, 23 goes to an environmental blog... 24 is with Aftermarket.pl... Uh............... Ok! 25's available! So get 'em while it's hot!

Same day edit: Nope, Battlefield25.com has been taken and now directs to the Facepunch forums. 26 is still available at the time of this edited post. This domain squatting game of really distant successive numbers is getting kind of stupid now...
