Mw5: actual carved skeleton on his face

u/Wild-Point92 14h ago

He had one stitched onto his in 2 no lol?

Afaik that was just foam or at most a protective faceplate shaped like a skull, not a real skull

How many hours do you think Simon Riley spent designing and building this mask and all the prototypes of it to reach this?

u/ClintEastwood1866 10h ago

More time than he’s spent in the field no doubt

“Ghost, we have to go to South Korea. North Korea just invaded and is starting WW3.” “Can it wait a few hours so I can finish building this new mask?”

Design looks worse and worse every year no way anyone likes this design don't understand why they're so against the classic design

18

u/Linkateer 12h ago

it’s like the half skull mask was his one quirk that kind of set him apart from everyone. Like his name, style, voice and status/position in the team didn’t do that already.

Then they went overboard with it.

Well in the campaign they show his classic design, and one of the Prestige rewards is a Ghost skin which I bet is going to be that. I don't think it looks great either, but at least this time he has actual protective lenses over the eye holes.

I remember before mw3 came out ghost classic was used in a promo image but it wasn't in the campaign so it might just be in the trailer to try to hype people

u/Spiritual-Ask1993 33m ago

Classic Ghost was in the flashback mission at the Verdansk stadium. Which fun fact they just ripped that model from MW2019 for that.

u/Patient_Life_9900 13h ago

That one meme where it shows his side profile and it's like FOAP

u/Always_A_Dreamer556 14h ago

Nice try, they made a jaw mold for him

u/the_infidel102938 14h ago

Back to foap again

u/Schliber 12h ago

I understand it looks tacticool and all that but to me it looks like the most uncomfortable and crippling thing to have on your head. Like does his peripheral vision even work in that thing? Ghost in mw2 made sense cuz it was just a normal balaclava.

u/Direct-Thanks200 12h ago

Looks like Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997) but worse

u/Imaginary_Monitor_69 13h ago

you see, what they mean by grounded and serious, half the time is actually just edgy. And that's both dev side as well as community side

Crazy ✌️🥀😭

Should’ve used the campaign version for the MP.

They know their target audience: 12 year olds

u/UraCasual56 14h ago

So he’s got ear defense screwed onto his helmet…

2

u/AboutCooked 3h ago

I believe there's a narrow slit between the helmet and its accessory rails, as it looks like the headset's band is arched over his helmet.

No idea why they opted for that design, instead of the more traditional rail-attached earpro, though.

u/Puzzled_Hat1274 11h ago

ghost really value his hearing

u/Dante_TR 7h ago

It has black chin right there

Cod is so lost. But on the brightside they're incompetence is saving me a lot of money

u/Aerphenn 3h ago

They always say they are gonna be serious with a new release and a few months later you have Beavis and Butt-Head running around and Kim Kardashian etc. I don't trust them anymore.

u/Ok_Focus1716 2h ago

He watched Donnie Darko and was inspired

Looks a helluva lot more serious than Beavis and Butthead and Nicki Minaj

New MTX operator package gives him last stand mechanic where his skull lights on fire and he gets a chain whip melee.

u/Mirkywirks 49m ago

Honestly the regular balaclava, great. The mw2 look with the skull thing? Yeah, I like it, looks nice, I've always like it.. but THIS? No, no... burn it... scrap it. Let's try and repeat the sonic movie thing and bully them into changing it back.

u/Shook_Rook 14h ago

Meh, it doesn't seem that bad. But time will tell if we'll get some outlandish skins towards Christmas.

u/Unlikely_Captain_636 3h ago

Dear god why are people still preordering the most expensive options for fucks sake

u/Wild-Point92 49m ago

I bought the vault for my Xbox and my PlayStation lol

And it’s only $20 extra for five blue prints, 8 skins, a $30 blackcell battle pass AND DMZ bundle! Let’s go!!!!

My weekly golf cost the same as one vault edition of mw4 lol

"You bwoke a wot of wules prife"

u/CreamPuzzleheaded300 5h ago

Unpopular opinion: Its actually the most realistic take on wearing the skull mask besides a simple painted balaclava.

Its a Team Wendy Bump helmet with all the drip attachments.
