Colin Crowley Gets His Game Face On
Literally, the dude's face is going to be in a game.

It was certainly an interesting idea: a simple contest held by our favorite Larry Flint video game mag, Tips & Tricks Magazine, put the Grand Prize winner in Call of Duty 3. Literally, the winner has his face and name thrown back in time to appear alongside the many men that fought and died for our country during The Big One. Say what you will about it trivializing the men that fought for our freedom, but one Sgt. Colin Crowley, of our very own US Army will be forever immortalized in a bunch of ones and zeroes.
“Tips & Tricks has always been about giving its readers the inside track into video games – we thought it was particularly cool to work with Activision and actually put a player in a game,” grinned Chris Bieniek, the magazine’s Editor-in-Chief. “Appearing in Call of Duty 3 will definitely provide Crowley with bragging rights and a piece of video game immortality.”
“The Call of Duty franchise has always been about immersing players into in an epic, larger than life struggle,” chimed in Will Kassoy, Activision's VP of global brand management. “So we’re excited to partner with Tips & Tricks and reach out to our fan base to select someone that we can literally enlist by name into the newest battles of Call of Duty 3.”
