Marshawn Lynch to star in Black Ops 3

[Carlos]

ESPN did a detailed report about Lynch's journey from his first time at Activision's Motion Capture studio, and what he did there.. BO3 will use Lynch's likeness, and distinction of being the first athlete to appear in a Call of Duty title.

Here's a small snapshot of the Behind-the-Scenes look at Lynch's big day at Activision's HQ...

11 A.M. ACTIVISION MOTION CAPTURE STUDIO, LOS ANGELES
Lynch's gold teeth glisten through his grin as he arrives to begin the motion capture process that created Gollum. "Really glad to be here," he says, offering his hand to executives from publisher Activision and developer Treyarch. The feeling is mutual. "For Marshawn's role, we needed an imposing figure," says Mark Lamia, Treyarch studio head. "When we learned he's a huge fan, we thought it'd be awesome to have him inside our game."

Lynch says his COD fandom was sparked during his college days at Cal. The nine-year NFL veteran now logs on daily for battles with teammates old and new, because "it's a cool way to keep in contact," he says. "It's a fun-loving way to let off some stress." As a bonus, the game aligns with Lynch's on-field philosophy. "You're shooting up everything but always fighting for a bigger picture. The whole game is Beast Mode."

ESPN has an article on Lynch's entry into Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 soon...

In the June 22 issue of ESPN The Magazine, Beast Mode himself outlines how he’s planning to bowl over bad guys in Activision’s newest shooter. NFL fans and commentators talk all the time about the Seattle Seahawks running back being super human on the field. It looks like he’ll get to play that role in a very different way in COD: Black Ops 3.
