Pentagon hires COD creator for advise

I dunno what to say about this, but it did make me chuckle a little bit.

That's really dumb. What the hell would a game creator know about future military endeavors?

I can imagine the expert advice he can give the Pentagon.

"First of all we need the respawn cooldown rate to be faster for our troops as opposed to the enemy, and OP the Tomahawks that are now standard equiptment"

So he was brought on as a part time, unpaid, member of a think tank to join other entertainment figures to discuss possible future warfare. Who. Cares.

Exactly.

They did the same with Tom Clancy and no one gave a shit then.

Tom Clancy was the fucking man.

It amazes me that some people still think RT is a credible news source.

With all of the hate COD gets mentioning it by name and being cryptic about his actual responsibilities gains more views and implies he is having a more important role than he really is without outright lying.

Please god let COD not stand for call of duty.

RT isn't reporting any more or less than what was reported by other establishments.

Not once have I played that COD garbage but it must be some pretty compelling stuff for this think tank to want to bring this writer on board.

Activision "Call of Duty"?!.. no way.

I've never heard of rt, so meh. I don't consider it credible.

@Morphic: Since there was nobody to actually hear that prayer. I am afraid to tell you it was Call of Duty.

I imagine that's how most of your prayers end up.
