Morgan Wallen<\/a><\/strong>was one of the big stars appearing in the new trailer for the upcoming Battlefield 6\u2014briefly. In fact, he was onscreen for less time than it took you to read this sentence.<\/p>\n The controversial<\/a> and chart-topping country star<\/a> joined a motley crew of gamers in the trailer that dropped on Sept. 28. As Smashing Pumpkins<\/strong>\u2019 \u201cBullet with Butterfly Wings,\u201d a supped-up Humvee drives across a war-torn Manhattan Bridge. Out jumps actor Zac Efron<\/strong>, NBA star Jimmy Butler<\/strong>, UFC fighter Paddy Pimblett<\/strong>, and Wallen, the latter of whom shouts, \u201cSoundcheck!\u201d<\/p>\n At that point, the four celebrities cock their weapons, which is impressive, given that Butler has what appears to be an RPG launcher. Efron channels all his machismo to deliver the line, \u201cOkay, boys. We\u2019re here to do one thing. And that\u2014\u201d Cue the rocket and an explosion that blows them all up to smithereens.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s seriously it. No extra lives. No respawns. The rest of the Battlefield 6 \u00a0trailer is a live-action fracas. Unnamed soldiers battle throughout New York City in a game of \u2018capture the flag,\u2019 but with bullets and explosions.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re wondering why the game would have Wallen, Efron, Pimblett, and Butler show up, only to turn them into mincemeat? Kotaku<\/a> points out that this is Electronic Arts\u2019 jab<\/a> at fellow competitor, Activision, and their rival first-person military shooter game, Call of Duty.<\/p>\n Call of Duty has utilized celebrities since 2010, according to The Gamer. Either they\u2019ve had them appear in-game as characters, like how Elvira, Mistress of the Dark <\/strong>was included in the Black Ops Zombies adventure, alongside Michael Rooker, Robert Englund, Sarah Michelle Gellar <\/strong>and Danny Trejo<\/strong>; or they\u2019re purchasable skins, allowing you to play as Snoop Dogg, Lionel Messi<\/strong>, or Silent Bob<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Morgan Wallen, not being blown up by a missile.Photo by Astrida Valigorsky/WireImage<\/p>\n A day after the shady trailer dropped, EA announced that it had agreed to be acquired by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, Affinity Partners (whose CEO is Jared Kushner, <\/strong>the son-in-law of President Donald Trump<\/strong>), and Silver Lake, one of the key investors trying to get TikTok under U.S. control, according to CNBC.<\/p>\n The $55 billion deal involves $36 billion in equity investment, with $20 billion in debt financing from JPMorgan.
