Full sized 'Ghost' character model in game

I don't often go into game stores (I prefer gamestation) but couldn't help but marvel at the promotional statue of 'Ghost' they had received from activision to promote MW2! I was saying to one of the guys in the shop does someone get to keep this? They said no... Ha ha!

Also scared me at first as I hadn't noticed it and my son said "look daddy a soldier"

That's awesome! Although I can picture a headline in the Mail in a few weeks: "Drunks re-enact scene from Modern Warfare 2, set shopping centre ablaze" (Spoilered for those who haven't finished the game yet!)

If you put 20p in, does he spontaneously combust?

Call of Duty: Ghost?
Spin-off featuring Modern Warfare 2's Ghost character rumoured.

Activision is considering creating a spin-off Call of Duty game featuring Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's Ghost.

That's according to the voice of Ghost, actor Craig Fairbrass, who let the news slip at the launch event for Modern Warfare 2 last week.

"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," said Fairbrass.

"I’m quite excited about it. It’s grown and grown and grown."

According to Fairbrass it's the mystery of Ghost that makes him such a popular character.

"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," he concluded.

I thought Ghost was in the first MW, I guess I just recognised the voice of the character.


Still not as cool as the Helgast (sp?) that my local Gamestation had.

The guy who does the voice of Ghost in MW2 is the same fella who did Gaz in MW1, big tall chap used to be in Eastenders, can't remember his name, so maybe it is a play on Gaz coming back as a 'Ghost' spooky
