Two major public figures in the United States, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and general David Petraeus, have leading roles in the newly launched Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, from Treyarch and Activision.

It’s a weird period for David Petraeus, one of the best-known military figures in the United States, as in less than one week he has resigned as the boss of the CIA in real world and was promoted to the position of Secretary of Defense in the first-person shooter.

Hillary Clinton is not depicted under her actual name in Black Ops 2, but a look at the character model that is used and the way the voice actress plays her are a clear indication that Treyarch strongly believes she will be the first female president.

It’s not clear why Petraeus has been portrayed under his real name while Hillary Clinton appears under the name Bosworth.
