New Call of Duty Infinite Wars trailer

I don't care about the series that much anymore. I used to play them up until modern warfare 3 and then meh.

Anyways, I found it interesting that the trailer for the latest game has the Lebanese flag strapped to the arms of a bunch of soldiers that you control. There was a british flag so I guess its part of the character customization.

I wonder what made them choose the Lebanese flag among others. It did show up several times and it is quite clear.

The trailer is up at IGN. I guess its available elsewhere too

Check it out

Actually it shows up 3 times and it's the only flag that i've  noticed other than the british. It got me wonder why the lebanese flag and why on a women soldier. All i know it's a nice move from activision to advertise the game but they can dream of faccing battelfield specialy a ww2 battelfield ;)

Yeah. Will see how battlefield will pan out.

I don't know how Battlefield and Call of Duty will be able to sustain interest given the number of competitive first person shooters out there on consoles, let alone the PC world. But it will be inter sting nonetheless.

I am guessing a Lebanese dev working on the game got a chance to choose the flag and chose his own

Thats my guess too. Because even the 30-seconds ads they are running includes the shots with the flag.

Let's hope it's actually the Lebanese flag meant to be, not just some developer searched for a flag with a tree to give make a team of tree-planting soldiers...

I noticed that as well yesterday. That footage is campaign footage so it seems Lebanon plays a role in the campaign. Strange.

I think it's an important role too, in the trailer, the woman who has the Lebanon flag also goes mourning the dead soldiers with her seargant suit. Seems quite important to me.

Not to burst your bubble or anything but I think its just part of the character customization. You choose your character gender, body type, etc and some type of insignia and I guess the flag is part of that too.

Well why not!? After all the game is futuristic and sci-fi; so maybe a scenario of what could happen if let's say ISIS kept growing and expanding...
