Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Releases New Live-Action Trailer With Pete Davidson

Hype is building fast for the forthcoming reveal of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the latest release in the annual Call of Duty franchise. This past week Activision dropped a teaser trailer confirming its plans to fully unveil Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on June 8. The teaser trailer was just the start of Activision's build to the event, it seems. A new live-action video featuring comedian Pete Davidson parodying the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 teaser has recently been shared, too.

In the video, Pete Davidson is sitting in the same transport vehicle used in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 reveal teaser. He's surrounded by members of Task Force 141, some of past Modern Warfare games' most popular characters. That includes Ghost, Captain Price, Gaz, Soap, and newcomer Alejandro Vargas. Captain Price says Davidson is there because he vouched for him, but Davidson makes it clear that he probably shouldn't be involved.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Could Bring Franchise Back to Steam

Davidson is immediately recognizable as being out of place. He's wearing what looks like a biking helmet with a flower on it, as well as a tie-dyed tank top. While the others in the vehicle are well-armed and practicing safe gun handling, Davidson has a rocket launcher and shows a clear misunderstanding of how it works. He also jokes with other members of Task Force 141 about bringing snacks, but is unwilling to share them. Ghost, in particular, seems unhappy about the snacks.

The 40-second video is a fun advertisement intended to build up excitement for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 reveal on June 8, much like past Call of Duty live-action videos featuring celebrity cameos. In the original teaser trailer, Task Force 141 is shown
