What makes Simon "Ghost" Riley my favourite character in the call of duty franchise is how relatable we are I to grew up in Manchester and joined the British military at 16 ( I did basic at HMFC if anyone was interested ) and later joined the SAS and I also had quite abusive and sadistic parents which was one of the many reasons I decided to join the army
Honestly from his accent I thought he would’ve been from London, he sounds cockney. Whereas Price I’d definitely supposed to be a cockney despite the actor being from Liverpool.
Could you do a Roach backstory? Trust me, there's a lot of information about him. You can also read the Call of Duty Mobile comics. It will be an interesting video, I will tell you that.
I met jeff leach the former mw ghost v.a Even played with him in the earliest days of warzone, but his following grew too big and I just wasn't good enough to keep in his team It's unfortunate about his separation from the series but the new guy seems cool 💀 I like the variations from the gameplay showcase
He even talked crap about the new voice actor which won’t give him more opportunity if he does that’s massive BS since you talk crap about your replacer
@@interviolet6675 and he’s still trying to make excuses for why he talked shit to that girl but that the same time he did work for a Triple A company so he should have not talk crap at all
@@rydn_x I could only guess but maybe Activision's process was they didn't want someone who conducted themselves in that matter affiliated with them. The situation could have been handled better but i'm happy with how new Ghost sounds even if it's the same character visually.
Finally! Lol. I never played MW, but I've always loved Ghost's identity and character in the gameplay I've watched. I've been lost seeing almost everyone's comments about Ghost so seeing your break down here, helps. Thank you. Now, off to go watch more Ghost videos lol
I went to a comic book store by my grandparents house and I was actually able to find issue number 1 of the ghost comic for $8 and I’m soo happy about it I’m working on getting the rest of the series too
Wait, from my knowledge, Ghost's brother was a drug addict when he came back from the military and Ghost helped him get clean. Then, his brother married a woman named Beth that gave birth to Ghost's nephew. Am I wrong?
Inkslasher, you're trippin. The Modern Warfare 2 comics were about the original adaptation of Ghost. I dont the new ghost has the same backstory, but just saying that the comics were for the release of the game in 2009.
Thank you telling us about that. I'm Cosplaying the Original Ghost, for Halloween and I've always been fascinated by Ghost and wanted to know more. The original MW2, has always been one of my favorite games and it's so exciting to know about his character. I checked out the comics and they are really good! Thanks for all the info! Cheers mate 💯💀👻
You forgot to mention mace. If you don’t know who he is he was added to season 2 with Ghost and wears a metal ghost mask. It’s said that he was in a past task force with ghost but that’s all there is I’m pretty sure
I hope that we get a ghost backstory game but I also think it would be dope if they did mw3 as half backstory and half present day with the cartel that’s in mw2
@@isidorekal1009 I feel it depends how long Shadow Comapany has been active cause I think its starts off with Marine first then Shepard maybe recruits more Mercenaries like Mace and Roze who dont have morale lines and get the job done most private armies shift that way imo Maybe thats what happens in MW3 (2026?)
@@Deathmare235 personally I feel Shadow Comapany will do their business in the background like in the trailer on that ship mission we see a Nuke Container with that green light That might be Shadow Co work or maybe even Makarov moving behind the scenes
Ik I'm late and I dont wanna be that guy but there is so much more to ghost story in the comic he missed out on telling us. And I highly suggest reading the comic it is amazing. But all together great video!
Always been a fan of ghost since 2009 campaign, i read the comics bought everything ghost related even irl, but it always had me thinking if his backstory stayed the same.
Reminds me of Sicario.. Dealing with cartels, man loses family starts working with feds from U.S and gets his revenge except our Ghosty boi has S.A.S training I don’t remember if de toros character did
@@jjohnson5624 Well Ghosts 2 is risky because of ghosts backlash, MW2 is almost a 100% success with MW2019. Business standpoint, they wouldnt risk it. For now
@@ekay6566 so mw 2019 and mw 2 2022 Are two completely different timelines where shepherd didn’t kill roach and simon riley? if not then how do they all know Makarov when he was brought up in the last mission of mw2 2022?
he went through hell. his father abused him and his mom, his brother was an addict, teammates betrayed him, simon was tortured by roba, his family was killed, he tried to suicide but he fought and defeated roba all by himself and finally was betrayed and killed by general shephard
😯 i didint know tht whole comic book background side of him, thts very cool and even more so like u said and I cant wait to c how they tie tht if not almost where u take down the cartel and kill him like ghost did in the comics
TBH this whole video isn’t relevant to the MW2022 game coming out at all. It’s all been said and shown before. I hope Roach or Sandman is mentioned somewhere in the campaign tho!!
If you actually see the mission in Modern Warfare 2022 it definitely looks like the previous Modern Warfare 2 called The only easy day was yesterday. That mission of destroying a sam site and risque hostages.
The “Dark Waters” mission from the MW2 (2022) trailer also looks a LOT like the “Crew Expendable” mission from the OG Modern Warfare where you’re tasked with deploying onto an Estonian freighter and grabbing a “package” that allegedly contains “nuclear materials”.
Unrelated. Do you know when we are going to see multiplayer gameplay? I am anxious to see if Ground War is returning, but on much larger maps. Also, Nikto must return.
You can even saw the black paint though I thought it was something like Nikto where he was burnt hell what’s the point of the black ink if his face is covered
I don't know if anyone can answer to me, but I've been wandering through internet to find out if Ghost was actually dead. I've played the old campaign and the brand new one, and it felt like the new MW2 campaign is taking place before the events of the old campaign. Now, I'm wondering if ghost is actually dead and killed by sheperd, or did activision decided to rewind time and undo what they did, to revive ghost and keep him for futur games???
Late reply, but In case you're still confused, The new games are reboots (or remakes as they used to be called) and have no connection to the old games. Those old 3 are their own story and it ends there. So Ghost is alive and well in the new ones.
I had the same situation happen to me except we started doing random drive-bys and admins were trying to figure out what was going on one even cried cause we waited for him outside his house once he got there we blew all his shit up
MW 2019 and 2022 the reboot version/different timelines are pretty good but still can't beat the original MW Trilogy 🔥 I prefer they continue the sequel from MW3 which means it will be MW4! Imagine Price and Nikolai regroup with the US guys like Sgt. Foley, Dunn, Ramirez, and the rest!!!
@@carterskindle7086 they make a reference to all ghilied up or at the very least one shot one kill. *I almost got him in pripyat* referring to zakhaev in the mw post credits scene. But that's probably where similarities end
Yo this is going to be a ghost story. Something personal and yes we see him and roach die in the og MW2 but every teaser he has been the main focus. Art work he was the last one and the cover for MIIW and now live action and reveal is all about him. Also the pack of skins for MW19 so a story for ghost and after Ghost 2
Concealing his identity by not showing his face but then telling his name and not being anonymous is kind of pointless. People can still know what he looks like from past photos etc
@@Deathmare235 did you understood what I was trying to say ? if he really don’t wanted to knows who he was then she should have just used his call sign “ghost” why reveal his actual name. I am pretty sure that can put him in compromising situations cause nothing ever gets erased completely even if his photos were redacted from some documents it won’t make any difference if he ever goes against the government. I don’t see any advantage of using his original name Simon Riley and then keeping his face hidden.
@@sameer8996 the government won’t know about him though revealing his name was a mistake hell did they even know it in the original trilogy I mean I guess Shepherd knew so maybe just the task force knew
hey this is really old but the instergram video about nikto that reflection in the broken glass isn´t nikto its ghost checking the files. you might ask why because hes again checking his specialties it would not make sense plus all other ghost characters have theyre own types of masks but the one in the reflection is ghosts style.
Yo inkslasher in call of duty modern warfare two in loose ends u see news paper about terrioust attack sent by Makarov but if u connect the dots u can see that modern warfare 2019 there is a mission with the terrioust attack and u can see that call of duty modern warfare 2 happend after modern warfare 2019. If u don’t get me do some reaserch
I watched your video on where you pitched Alex might be ghost. Since this is a reboot and they have matching tattoos on opposite arms. Could they be brothers? Or like you said in the aforementioned video served together as "ghosts" my money is on them being brothers.
