Okay gamers, the live-action trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (The Vet and the nOOb) just became available. The video is part of the buildup to the much-heralded (or depending on your point of view, overhyped) U.S. release of the game on Tuesday, Nov. 8 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Get a sneak peek at what’s in store, where this sequel that just appeared on YouTube picks up on the action from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Coming back for another round of mayhem is Task Force 141 Capt. John “Soap” MacTavish, former SAS Capt. John Price, and some new characters you haven’t seen yet — all of them fighting off those Russians who somehow have the audacity to invade the U.S. and Europe. I mean, what were they thinking?

Game creator Activision brings new coolness, too, adding a free social network that lets you track your gameplay stats across all platforms, and it works on this new game, Call of Duty: Black Ops from last year and any CoD games coming in the future.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is available for preorder now, retailing for $59.99 for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 — but look around, you’ll find it for a few bucks less in some online stores.
