If anything, OUR Warzone has the right to countersue, if the owner here felt like he wanted to since this site used the name first.
They are. That [the owner here feeling like he wanted to sue since this site used the name first] is what set the lawsuit off- Warzone.com, LLC, mailed Activision and asked for 0.25% profits, after Activision filed to trademark "Warzone" for itself. The negotiations over that got nowhere and Activision filed a lawsuit to get the court to tell Warzone.com, LLC, to fizz off. In response, Warzone.com, LLC, is fighting to get the court to prevent Activision from trademarking "Warzone" and to make Activision stop using "Warzone" and pay them for the damage to Warzone.com, LLC, that occurred as a result of
Call of Duty: Warzone being a vastly more popular game using the name "Warzone" than Warzone.com, LLC's own Warzone brands.
They're probably back in settlement negotiations so we'll probably find out soon enough how this all pans out. I doubt either party is going to go all the way on this. The potential risks + legal fees easily dwarf either party's upside in pursuing the case to its conclusion.
EDIT: clarified some grammatical ambiguity that might've misled Tac(ky)tical into thinking the countersuit referred to the cease-and-desist
