It might not be common knowledge yet, but the Seattle Seahawks running back, Marshawn Lynch, loves Call of Duty. He logs on the game almost every day because "it's a cool way to keep in contact," he says. Well, as Pee-Wee Herman says, "If you love it so much, why don't you marry it?"
Lynch might not be marrying the game, but he's definitely becoming one with it.
Activision brought Lynch to their motion capture studio to get his face scanned, performance captured and, of course, tons of hands-on gameplay. Marshawn Lynch is going to be a character in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.
According to Lynch his in-game character must have three key ingredients, "He better have dreads, gold teeth and my distinctive walk. Then people will be like, 'Oh, that's really Beast Mode right there!'"
In the game, Lynch will be drinking a beer at a bar in Singapore with "fellow guns-for-hire" where "bosses" enter and cause a fight between the two parties. The scene culminates with a shootout, followed by the team fleeing into the streets.
It was revealed today that Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will be available on every console, except the Wii U, when it releases on November 6.
