Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - The Vet and the Noob Trailer

Jonah Hill WOULD be the noob.


Yes, yes, and hell yes. Talk about perfect casting, Sam Worthington, the badass marine from Avatar trying to teach (significantly skinnier) Jonah Hill of Superbad fame how to not be a noob and play Modern Warfare 3 well in real life. So many awesome nods to things that drive veteran COD'ers crazy: the grenade launcher under barrel attatchment (the noobtube), using an RPG in close quarters, and generally running around and spraying without any purpose. Hill slowly learns from Worthington, and transforms himself into a badass himself.

I realize that I was complaining about nothing about the game being revealed in the trailer before this one (Need for Speed: The Run directed by Michael Bay) but there's a few key differences here. First off, way more people know about and have played the Modern Warfare series than the style in which the new NFS game is in. It also uses the "there's a soldier in all of us" montra, which enables any joe schmo to pick up a controller and kick some butt on xbox live. What I'm trying to say is that is a trailer that appeals to the audience without having to show too much of the game because it's so well known that it doesn't have to. Call it pretentious, but it's the truth.

Oh yeah, and Dwight Howard looks awesome holding an assault rifle. Looks like he's making good use of the lockout.
