1V6 Clutch in Search? Beastmode. Beastmode in Duty? Beastmode Beastmode.


 

IN THE YEAR 2065, cybernetic advancements give rise to augmented human soldiers, a new breed of badass charged with preserving our way of life. Their mission leads them to a seedy bar in Singapore, where they encounter an underworld boss and his elite squad of mercenaries. Among them is a 5-foot-11, 215-pound battering ram of a man who's exactly like the world's most ferocious running back circa 2015: the Seahawks' Marshawn Lynch.

Welcome to the world of Call of Duty: Black Ops III, the highly anticipated first-person shooter game set for release in early November. What follows is the exclusive behind-the-scenes story of how Lynch put his stamp on the blockbuster franchise. The game has long captured his imagination. Now it will carry his likeness, giving him the distinction of being the first athlete to appear as a character in a Call of Duty game.

The article proceeds to take you through a day in the life of a man starring his likeness in a video game.

Remember when cod characters used to be interesting? Apparently activision has been led to believe that hat makes a good character is the actor and not the script.....god damn it.

This is sad.

I guess it REALLY doesn't effect anything but.... If they're banking on this pulling in more game purchases.... That's insane. 
There's no way the time and money expended on this will result in total gain as opposed to not using it.

Also: 
Xbox ones are being used.

Hes got a PS4 controller as well. Pretty sure he is just posing with that though since it proves nothing compared to the actual console.

[Black Hand Smith]

Sadly I think the Xbox one is off. The light isn't on

[Stop Mocking Me0]

He's 6 types of posing in this pic...

​PS4 is being used, look at controller in his hand. HOWEVER, the Xbox is clearly the main console seeing as how it's actually in the tv "station: (for lack of better terms)

Look how snug of a fit it is, that stand was made for the XB1. PS4 is just off to the side. Sources have said multiple times that PS4 version is just further along and a better product atm.

As for Marashawn being in the game, I doubt it'll drive sales, and I doubt that was the reason behind it. He's a menacing dude, they mo cap everything. Getting a guy of his physique is huge. Will make his character look a little meaner in the game. It's just a cool little touch. Like Ice Cube being a voice in Black Ops, nothing major but his assets will help drive the character.

​You need glasses. Thats what the light looks like on an Xbox one, it isnt fully white and illuminated like a spotlight, its kinda faint. Also you know theres lots of light as well so yeah.

Guys, the picture is CLEARLY posed, PS4 controller with an Xbox console?

I hate Marshawn Lynch, mainly because of how he terrorizes my favorite team twice a year, but this is pretty cool. I just can't imagine if he is doing the voice acting as well that it will be very good lol

[Flammenwerfer]

"I'm only here so I don't get shot." -Marshawn Lynch, probably

[Stop Mocking Me0]

I hope that's his catchphrase. 

[The Clay Bird]

I hope that's his catchphrase. 

​I'd go for "I'm just about that action boss"

"Who is this?"

- Every European

On another note: N64 get's the dlc first. 

[RedDeadRiot]

This is Marshawn.

That play is called the Beast Quake because it actually got so loud that the stadium registered on the Richter Scale.
