Now, with just a few days left for the game’s release, its narrative directors revealed a massive surprise for fans. Jeffrey Negus, the narrative director alongside head writer Brian Bloom, ‘revealed their idea for a Call of Duty one-off.’ Here’s what they said: “Yeah, I’m going to say it. Ghost’s origin story.” Apparently, they wanted the iconic ‘Ghost’ to be the kickstarter as he has been a pivotal part of the franchise.

The writer continued, “There are others who would like to do that too, and we think that would be really interesting. There’s something about that character that’s iconic, but the mask and some of those more superficial elements, as we’ve attempted to build them out here in our current release, where did some of those things come from? And exploring that, and looking at that would be something I think the audience would love, and we would love to get into.”

Lastly, it is important to remember that Ghost has been the face of the franchise for Modern Warfare 2’s art. Plus, he’s played a major role in the franchise. So, if they want him to be the star, be it! After all, fans absolutely adore this masked soldier.
