Dave Anthony, the director and writer of "Call of Duty: Black Ops II," spoke at a forum in Washington and said the U.S. government can learn a lot from the game industry in how to market controversial security measures to the public, IGN reported.
Anthony has recently joined the think tank non-partisan organization the Atlantic Council to share his insights regarding the future of warfare.
In the forum organized by the group, the game director said that a threat to the country is imminent and the government should start enacting policies in order to prevent this from happening.
Of course, drastic operations will face criticisms from the public and other sectors. In order to gain the approval of the people, Anthony believes the government should discuss these matters publicly as much as possible.
"When we have a new product that has elements that we're not sure how people will respond to, what do we do as a corporation? We market it," he said.
"We market it as much as we can - so that whether people like it or not, we do all the things we can to essentially brainwash people into liking it before it actually comes out," Anthony added.
As an example, the game director talked about deploying soldiers dressed as civilians in schools and other similar facilities for security measures, according to Tech Times.
"The threat now, the invasion comes from within," Anthony explained. "Imagine the concept of something like a 'school marshal.' Now these guys are U.S. soldiers who are in plain clothes, whose job and part of their responsibility is to protect schools."
"The public won't like it, they'll think it's a police state," he continued. "All of these are solvable problems."
Although these types of methods are controversial, Anthony noted that these are necessary due to the internal threat that the country might face, such Islamic extremist groups infiltrating the U.S, Business Week reported.
"It could be that you have 100 of these guys who may be on our soil right now, who may even be U.S. citizens, who could legally walk into whatever gun store they choose, buy some assault rifles and start attacking soft targets," he said.
