Modern Warfare 2’s Ghost getting his own game? |
|
| BY Rain Anderson Nov. 14th, 2009 | More on: |
During Modern Warfare 2’s launch event in the UK, the voice actor for the game’s Ghost character, Craig Fairbrass, mentioned that “they” — presumably Infinity Ward — are considering a game solely for 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 told Inside Xbox (video’s on Live and embedded below), “so, I’m quite excited about it. It’s grown and grown and grown.”
When asked about what is it about the character that’s getting people excited, he said, “I don’t know. It’s the whole thing I suppose of not knowing who he is. He’s like the head of the SAS and… I’m just so thrilled to be a part of it, I mean it just gets bigger and bigger each year.”

Not really like IW to make a game with a single character. Single-player DLC maybe?

I played both games and I can’t remember any of the characters names or who they are.

Wait. Gaz got shot, presumed dead, and now the same voice actor is voicing a guy called Ghost? Gaz is alive then?

I hope that the whole thing isn’t a bunch of milking for cash. I love MW 1 and 2 but I don’t want it to become a thing people will get tired of after comics, games, movies and shows. I wouldn’t mind a few here and there if done with care. Halo would borderline with the whole extras made, but they are very well made and the makers(not just Bungie) really show that they took time to create something the best they could .

If you do not wish to have part of the MW2 single player spoiled, do not continue reading.
***SPOILER ALERT***
I regret to inform you that Ghost dies in the MW2 campaign. Shortly after you retrieve the DSM from Makarov’s estate/safehouse, General Sheperd turns on you, shoots you both, and burns your bodies. Pretty harsh.
***SPOILER ALERT ENDS***
In which case, this leads me to believe that whatever ‘game’ they’re working on with Ghost, it may be DLC in which you either play as Ghost for the same missions of the campaign, thereby giving you some interesting dual experiences of the same encounters you enjoyed as Roach. Or it may be some other operations that are completely new.

are you sure Gaz was dead in MW1?
It’s just strange to have the same voice actor fight along side Capitan Price
but seriously Gaz isn’t dead.
SPOILER
at the end of MW1, when you breach the plane, same voice actor for Gaz/Ghost is the one that talks mostly during the breach.

Yeah, in Modern Warfare Zakhaev shoots Gaz point blank in the top of the head with a Desert Eagle. Pretty messy too . . Dude is definitely dead, but I like that they used the same voice actors again. Gaz was my favorite character from MW1. Awesome game, but I hated that ending. I guess that’s one measure of the quality of a game. If you can get invested in the story and attached to the characters, that’s a good game.
Ghost DLC FTW!!!!!!

SPOILER !!!
Both Ghost and Gaz were shot and killed in front of you,with Ghost dying side by side with your character Roach in MW2.I would rather prefer if Infinity Ward does a sort of prequel with Captain Price,especially since everyone’s favorite mission from the entire series is “All Ghilied up”.

Ghost died in MW2,he got betrayed,shot in the head,then the burned him alive,unless he somehow got out of it which will be the base for the new game,im hoping it is

Cpt. Price dies in COD1, ressurects in COD 2 as a captain, stands the test of time to survive world war 2, at which point he gets demoted sometime since he’s a lieutenant when sniping Zakhayev… presumably dies at the end of Modern Warfare 1 (i know people are arguing about this right now, but just bear with me) since the russian guy eventually gives up on resuscitating him (dunno how long your heart can “not beat” before you’re “permanently”, so to speak, dead) and still comes back in Modern Warfare 2 despite the amount of people saying (and i quote, from another forum) that “he’s dead, get over it fanboy”…
given that service record, why do people see it as an impossibility that Gaz “could” be ghost, or that ghost/gaz/both might come back (instead of exclusively be seen in flashback missions)

Those are different Prices through out all the games, there’s no way someone can live through world war II all the way through modern warfare which was in like 2015 or something like that and still look that young. Also, I know it’s been repeated many times in these comments by now but Gaz and Ghost are both definitely dead now. There’s no way Gaz and Ghost could have been the same person unless behind the scenes of the game they were experimenting with adamantium and his bones were injected with it and he has some sort of healing factor powers. AND if they did do a Ghost DLC it could be a prequel to MW2, duh.

Ghost is introduced in MW2 as part of a hand-picked group of veterans known as the Task Force - 141, We have no idea of how he got there or what he did to deserve to be in that group. My guess is that this game or episodes will show you his past.

You guys are missing the obvious: p-r-e-q-u-e-l . Say it with me.

It will obviously be a prequel, but they might up having Ghost back in MW3. I mean, look at Captain Price in MW1. Theres also the possiblity that if they introduce Ghost in MW3, it might be someone else who becomes the “new” Ghost. Like a family member, friend or maybe Soap or something. That would be pretty cool.

So has anyone thought about why ghost wears a balaclava? Its because Gaz got shot in the face and is covering it up.
