OMGBBQ! YOU LET DANE COOK PLAY THE NEW CALL OF DUTY? WTF INFINITY WARD!?!? photo

It's no secret that Infinity Ward is working on a new game that apparently is being called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Not particularly clever, but it'll get the job done, I suppose. 

By "job done" I mean get us all worked up, because Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was the s**t, son. So when Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling posts pictures on his Twitter of comedian/actor Dane Cook playing what is apparently Modern Warfare 2, I get a little angry. To get it out of the way: yes, if you squint really hard you can make out Modern Warfare 2. And if you hit a few tabs of acid, it totally looks high definition. Also, you play the game with a controller, confirmed.

Cook later posted some of his own Tweets about the experience, in what appears to be the first Modern Warfare 2 review. 

"Sick F'in game," he writes. "Truly the game is killer. Good job, all."

He later confirms that the graphics are "improved," and that it "feels like [Call of Duty 4] but on steroids.

But back on point here -- SERIOUSLY. DANE COOK, INFINITY WARD!?!? WTF!?!? I don't know the guy, so I have no reason to hate or dislike him. But now I do. Dane Cook is now my nemesis, and I will do whatever I can to ruin him. Hey Dane -- your jeans are ripped! Jerk.

I hope that fucker got grenade-spammed to hell. I also hope they take out the grenade-spam after he's done playing.

I really hope the whole "I'm just kidding about really being mad at Dane Cook" thing doesn't go over too many people's heads.

But you know, I'm totally going to throw a grenade at his head. In Modern Warfare 2, of course.

Hey now, Dane deserves it. After all funny people like him should get to play amazing games before unfunny people like us.

He's friends with Bob Kelly who says that he sneaks and stabs a lot. So at least he plays the game alot. not like it was Mary-Kate Olsen or something.

It sucks even worse that Dane Cook of all people got to play it. He's a blatant joke thief.

Are people really surprised by this? This, for better or worse (worse, mostly) is the target audience of most every major FPS developer (I'm going to exclude Valve, god love them). They're not catering to you, the hardcore gamer. They're catering to the bro-ed out casual gamer that Dane Cook represents oh so well. There's way more of them and every indication I've received indicates that they're multiplying with startling rapidity

I'm surprised to see this much hatred and envy toward Dane Cook. I saw him live in Seattle for his Vicious Circle Tour. It was honestly his best sketch yet, I wish there was a video of it somewhere...

If they (infinity ward),let dane cook play the game why not give the fans a chance to play? This is something I would expect from bungie but not infinity ward, it's like turning call of duty into a popularity contest

Dane Cook is a genius actually if you think about it. He creates comedy for frat boys and immature middle schoolers and it works. I will admit I've watched some of his specials and laughed pretty hard a few of his jokes. I'm not saying he's the best comedian I've ever seen no, that honor goes to Lewis Black. But why do people have to hate on his success? Makes you sound like nothing more than a whiny jealous bitch because you aren't making that kind of money telling jokes.

Because not only is he a comedian and making millions of dollars, he's also a fairly attractive guy to boot.

Naturally this raises the ire of all the nerds.

Yep. The sad thing is there are two schools of thought when it comes to original Dane Cook fans.

A) (me) - You see Dane Cook for the first time when you were going into college. He was hilarious at first, and you weren't used to frat boy humor. C'mon the Alien sketch was hilarious the first time! Then you quickly realize that he re-uses his jokes on every thing he's in, and if he runs out, just screams "AHHHHHHH!" or "Broooooo! CooooooomEOOOOOON!"

B) You still like Dane Cook for some god forsaken reason.

Dane Cook is an unfunny hack who plagiarizes like a motherfucker. If you like him, you're a bad person who loves Hitler.

Dane Cook played COD6? Big deal. That's not news.

If Mitch Hedburg played COD6, that would be news. And it might also have a chance of being funny. Because Dane isn't but Mitch is/was.

Dane Cook, the only comedian I know whose jokes have no punchline. He stands up on stage, tells stories, flaps his arms around and gets laughs. I'll never understand how he got where he is by telling stories and acting like a fool. The homeless person on the corner does that FFS. I don't really care that he got to play the game as I wouldn't expect him to know jack shit about gaming. But if he was playing an early version of a "How to be a douche" game then I'd listen to him.

He's a newer Stand-Up comic, and honestly, his material is sub-par when compared to a real comic.

I've often wanted to hit this guy with something blunt and heavy...
hate on, Destructoid. Hate on.
Finally someone we all can focus our anger on. =D
