"There's a soldier in all of us." Activision is reviving its marketing slogan from Call of Duty: Black Ops with Modern Warfare 3. Emphasizing that anyone can learn to have a good time in the franchise's online multiplayer offerings, the newest commercial--titled "The Vet & the n00b"--stars Sam Worthington, Jonah Hill, and Dwight Howard, in an explosive CG-filled live-action spectacle of a trailer.

This is actually Sam Worthington's second outing for the Call of Duty franchise, having starred as the lead character of Call of Duty: Black Ops. Also, what happened to Jonah Hill, and how did he lose so much weight?

Modern Warfare 3 will be available tomorrow.
