LOS ANGELES — A judge has dismissed former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega’s lawsuit against video game giant Activision over his inclusion in a 2012 “Call of Duty” game.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge William F. Fahey ruled Monday that the company created a complex and multi-faceted game that relied very little on Noriega.

Noriega sued the gaming giant in July claiming his likeness was used without permission in 2012’s “Call of Duty: Black Ops II” and he was portrayed as a murderer and enemy of the state.
