The last installment of the Modern Warfare trilogy brings World War 3 to the world of Call of Duty. While the U.S., British, and French armed forces try to push back the Russian invasion, the disavowed Task Force 141 begin their hunt for international terrorist Vladimir Makarov.
Personally no I don't, however as a big game with a lot of people who will buy it regardless they are pretty much forced to comment on it if they want to be seen as a relevant video game website. Regardless of quality (and I'm just being really loose with this comparison), it would be like if they decided to ignore Starcraft 2 for some reason. It wouldn't be a good idea to just stop reporting on a game with a large as heck player-base regardless of the reason. Even if they remain ok there really isn't any good justifiable reason not to cover MW3.
I feel like the CoD hate on this site is getting a little weird lately. I mean, I'm no fan, but some people here seem to be putting an abnormal effort into shutting this game down. Those people need to chill.
@Brendan: Most of the people here are still in High School and associate the CoD games with the "dumb jock" persona. They hate the fact the most popular game in their favorite media is analogous to the most popular kids in their school. I say get over it... We all play games, we all love video games, some of us play Madden and CoD, and some of play Portal and Mass Effect. Some of us like myself (and I would imagine many others here), play them all.
But, in no universe do they not cover a game that is guaranteed to sell 8 million copies. And if you don't want to see it, just don't watch or read any of the coverage. It won't be that much -- you ask the question as if the site is going to turn into a secondary version of Call of Duty Elite. There will probably a TNT, a review and story about some problem the servers are having, not that big of a deal.
COD is a fundamental part of the video game industry as it currently stands. Like it or not, ignoring it would be silly. It would be like say, "I like to keep up with politics, but I ignore everything about the Republicans because I don't like them." You can't possibly cover the game industry in a comprehensive way without covering COD.
I WANT Giant bomb to cover the video game industry, so they SHOULD cover COD.
