Modern Warfare 2 is the latest game from Infinity Ward and Activision in the Call of Duty series which features blistering first person action. The game saw one of the biggest launches in history, breaking day one sales records in the UK. Of the characters featured in the game, it seems Ghost is quite popular, and he has even got his own comic book.

Now That Video Game Blog is reporting that Modern Warfare 2’s Ghost might be getting his own game. Apparently, at the games UK launch event, Craig Fairbrass, who voices Ghost in the game, said that "they" are considering a game solely for the character Ghost.

I did in the last game a voice for a character called Gaz and in this game I?m now voicing a guy called Ghost, who now just got a spin-off comic of his own and they?re talking about another little game to go with it, Fairbrass apparently said at the event, so, I?m quite excited about it. It?s grown and grown and grown.

In the beginning, the very first level in training when you run "the course", did you guys hear how they were talking about Ghost, they said that he "ran the course in 8 seconds last week"....

Sounds like Gaz lol. Especially after the training in modern warfare 1.

Its gutting that Ghost is dead. I would almost not even mind if they came up with a stupid story to bring him back, just like they did with Price, because he is just so awesome.

Nah it will be a prequel for sure.

He gets fatally shot i.e lifeless body then burned..surrounded by General shepards men and Makarov's men...he is definitely dead.....

Same with Gaz in MW1..definitely dead

MYBE..they were brothers??

It would be pretty nice if you actually used spoiler tags considering you are not the only who finished MW2. You know.. that term "being considerate"

You knew the thread was about MW2 and one of its characters its safe to assume it will have spoilers in yet you entered anyway.

I don't see how it's safe to assume that, unless there was a spoiler tag.

Its been out for 2 weeks. If someone cared that much about the story they should have played it through on easy jus to see it.

I didn't even think of Gaz=Ghost though I havn't played enough of single player ot make that connection I guess.

Ruining the MW2 story for me is like someone ruining an episode of Hollyoaks. However the others are right, not everyone 0-day completes every game.

Even months later it's a bit stupid to run around posting huge spoilers without some discretion.

Id like to know how he survived being shot then burnt, unless its a prequel to MW2 as Ghost is obviously Gaz, would be nice to see what happened between MW1 and MW2.

Thats exactly what I was thinkin but as long as they make another Warfare I dont give a crap what its about

Sorry but Gaz died in MW1.....I mean seriously, he was shot at close range in the back of the head.

According to the comics:

MODERN WARFARE 2: GHOST #2

Written by David Lapham

Art by Kevin J. West

Cover by Federico Dallocchio

Sgt. Riley codenamed Ghost has found himself in many a sticky situation while serving in the S.A.S. But never has a mission fallen apart so fast. On his first Joint Task Force mission, a combination of betrayal and bad luck has landed him in the hands of a blood-thirsty Mexican drug czar. Could things possibly get worse? Absolutely, yes.

Ghost = Sgt. Simon Riley, not Gaz.

(source)

So unless Sgt. Riley renamed himself to Gaz (whatever his full name is) and then Ghost for MW2, Ghost is obviously NOT Gaz.

Speculation is that the MW: Ghost game will be about Ghosts past, ie. Sgt. Riley.

Would be a bit lame considering the way MW2 went with his character and knowing how it ends.

Unless he survives somehow, Roach sucked, but Ghost was awesome. :D

The only link to them being the same is the fact that its the same voice actor, at least from my knowledge, or have I missed something?

And I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can see Ghost's face too.

If you watch the trailer that plays if you leave the game idle at the menu, during the last mission of Act 1, you capture the dood by shooting him in the leg.

It then blacks out and loads with Mactavish and Ghost in a garage type room with Ghost playing with the electricity, in the trailer from the main menu, it shows a guy with no mask, but the same uniform as Ghost in the same place as he is in the game.

So I really don't think they are the same people, lol.

But I could easily be wrong. :p

Ghost was my absolute favourite character in MW2 and I was gutted to see him go. Seriously I felt really bad after seeing what happened to him. I would love a story based on him. Prequel preferably (Y)

Cant really have a sequel can we? :p

But yeah, For some reason i felt an emotional tie to ghost lol

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed in a recent interview that the company may have to raise prices on some of its products due to the ongoing memory shortage. While he did not elaborate on the scale of the price hikes, new estimates suggest that Pro iPhone models could become significantly more expensive this fall. The Wall Street Journal and research firm TechInsights have come up with an educated estimate of how much the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost after its launch in September. The estimate is based on current increases in memory and storage chip prices. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro base model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. According to TechInsights estimates, 12GB of DRAM for the iPhone 17 Pro cost Apple $39 last year. However, for the iPhone 18 Pro, the cost of the same amount of DRAM could soar to $145. Likewise, 256GB of flash storage that previously cost $13 could now cost around $51. Producing a base iPhone 17 Pro reportedly cost Apple around $582, but TechInsights estimates that the production cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $726. If Apple wants to maintain the roughly 47% profit margin it enjoys on the iPhone 17 Pro, the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro would need to reach $1,371. After standard pricing adjustments, customers could end up paying around $1,299 for the base model. However, that may not be the end of the story. As we previously reported, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to feature a variable-aperture lens, which could cost Apple at least 50% more than the current camera system. The estimated $1,299 price tag does not include the additional cost of this upgraded camera hardware. Once that expense is factored in, the base model could cost at least $1,399. A $1,399 price tag for the base iPhone 18 Pro would represent a significant increase over the current $1,099 starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro. If Apple wants to keep its upcoming iPhones competitive, it may need to accept lower profit margins.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
