The game, and the role of Petraeus, was created well before the sex scandal erupted last week around the former four-star US general who headed forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. An animated version of the fallen US spymaster has a part in what is expected to be the top selling video game of the year - freshly-launched military espionage action title 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.' Petraeus is promoted to US Secretary of Defense in the game, set in a fictional near-future, serving under a woman president who resembles Hillary Clinton.
The sex scandal that forced the resignation of CIA chief David Petraeus has not stopped him from achieving greatness in the make-believe world of action videogames.
