According to a few sources at the E3, Activision's CEO Bobby Kotick was kicked out of EA's Battlefield 3 booth after he supposedly wanted to check out the competition for Modern Warfare 3.
Supposedly the incident occurred while EA was holding a closed door demonstration of the game and Kotick or a representative for him asked if it was possible for a private screening of the game which EA's rep in the booth refused. Kotick was also rumored to have been escorted away from the closed screening when EA found out he was at the booth.
EA's rep for the booth has confirmed the incident took place while Activision is denying Kotick was at the EA booth or made the request.
Battlefield 3 is still set for an October 25 US release and October 28 European release date while Modern Warfare 3 is set for a worldwide date of November 8.
