Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 finally lets you unmask Ghost

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 beta has received mixed reviews, but the developers feel it will help shape the final version of the game (via IGN). Aside from the typical feedback, those who tried out the beta also noticed a few interesting updates made to the operators. For the first time ever in the franchise, Ghost can be unmasked.

The elusive character of ‘Ghost’ was first introduced in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in 2009. His iconic deadpan skull mask became quite popular among Call of Duty fans, more so because of his sudden death following a huge betrayal. Till now, no one knew what was behind the mask, but that changes with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, though there's a big catch.

As pointed out by Detonated on X, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 adds a new ‘Operator Variant’ feature in the emote wheel where the character does something unique. For Ghost, the character removes his mask, revealing what’s underneath – another mask!

Yup, if you thought you’d be able to finally see Ghost’s face, Infinity Ward and Treyarch just trolled everyone. While you can see his eyes, they are painted black for camo purposes, and the rest of his face is covered with a mask that has, you guessed it, a skull painted on it.

Another account posted the emote for Captain Price, who uses one of the shotgun shells as a cigar, and it stays in his mouth till you respawn. Some interesting, quirky changes have been made to the latest Call of Duty game, one that promises to be more grounded than before.
