Think tank taps Black Ops 2 director for future war insight
To prepare for the wars of the future, political think tank The Atlantic Council has asked Dave Anthony, writer and director of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, to lend his creative abilities.
According to Anthony, he'll be contributing to the "Art of Future Warfare" project, a mass brainstorming session where talented creative types come up with new, never-before-seen ways that America's enemies might attack. As a game developer, Anthony's been doing exactly that for years on the Call of Duty franchise, so it just makes sense that the government would seek his talents in imagining even vaguely plausible attacks.
"Writers, directors and producers and other artists bring to bear observations derived from wholly different experiences in the creative world," the Atlantic Council said in a statement to the Associated Press. "They can ask different kinds of questions that will challenge assumptions and status quo ways of tackling some of today's toughest national security problems."
