Hardcore gamers are very familiar with the exotic locations Call of duty developers have used for their campaigns over the years.
In their most recent trailer for ‘Advanced Warfare’ which features Kevin Spacey as the president of the United states, the largest city in Africa, Lagos is shown as a city under siege...Watch video after the cut...
Lagos is represented with an electronic billboard with the message “KEEP LAGOS CLEAN”, with burning cars and debris in what looks like an urban scene. Also present is the Nigerian flag but it does remain to be seen what the details of the Nigerian Campaign will entail. If anyone is to make a guess, it would either involve militants or Boko Haram.
Until more information is made available, we sign off with the trailer below, the Lagos scene comes up at the :39 mark and also a man clearly in what looks like a traditional Nigerian outfit at :46
What do you as a Nigerian think about this portrayal? Crass? Insensitive? Prophetic? Is it okay to use the death of thousands of people as mere entertainment?
